It is gruesome and violent and scatalogical, but then it is funny and pointed and wry, and then it defers to a tender look, or an affectionate touch, and shows its heart. Lesser shows would give you whiplash, but the tone here is uniquely its own, and just perfectly, recognisably, The End of the F***ing World.
It’s true to the spirit of season one, which made the two messed-up central characters Alex Lawther’s James and Jessica Barden’s Alyssa sympathetic against all odds. It has the same gonzo tone and darkly funny writing. And it has a decent plotline that’s linked to the action of season one in a not-forced way.

The good news is that season two of The End of the F***ing World stays true to the vibe of the first season, has a decently good but not great story and manages, by the end of the final episode (of eight in total), to have righted most of the wrongs that came before it.
Overall, fans of The End of the F***ing World's first season should be pleased with what they find in Season 2. Though there are new faces and places involved, it's still got that same dreary dryness and wild unpredictability in play. While the second season doesn't exactly feel necessary, it's still fun to take another aimless ride with the show's resident weirdos and see where we end up.
The new batch of episodes, which Covell has indicated will be the last, is essentially all resolution, a season-long working out of the original story’s loose ends, and while it’s as assured in its execution, it’s ordinary by comparison.
Season 2 is an empty shell of an epilogue that still usurps what it should be propping up.
When the season ends, you’re left with a strong sense of, “Is that all there is?” There’s no new perspective or deeper point made by season two that wasn’t already conveyed more effectively by season one.
La 1 ya todos sabemos que acaba súper interesante, pero esta la noto demasiado forzada para llegar a los ocho episodios, es decir, si hubieran hecho un especial aclarando lo que había pasado al final de la primera parte, o incluso dejarlo abierto, que estaría interesante, ganaríamos todos.
Esta no me parece tan interesante, la fórmula la mantienen, pero ya se nota cansada, con solo 16 episodios, el estilo sigue su ritmo, estando bastante guay, pero no emociona demasiado.
Cosas buenas: Banda sonora, espectacular, la estética sigue estando bastante chula y la actriz, Jessica Barden, en especial se lleva todo el peso de las actuaciones.
Cosas malas: Es un paso atrás respecto a la primera, el ritmo va cayendo en picado hasta el final, y no concuerda mucho con lo que es la premisa de la serie, pierde fuelle.
Conclusión: No tenéis ni por qué ver esta temporada, os quedaréis más contentos con solo la primera, dejando ese final abierto, aún así, se ve muy rápido y está medio guay, pero bueno, vosotros decidís.

SEASON 2
With a lot of pressure to make a fulfilling sequel to the exceptional first season, it does a good job of continuing the narrative without being cliché and maintaining the quirky style it's known for. A second season wasn't at all necessary, and it's likely money played a factor in its creation, but I was still glad to see it continue. If you didn't want to see an aftermath of season 1, pretend season 2 doesn't exist. You're not missing out on much and the story is more powerful without it.

SEASON 2
It was alright. I watched all the episodes of the second season in one late night/early morning sitting. Alyssa's character was particularly stunted all the way through, and that got to be a bigger and bigger letdown as it seriously curtailed her expression. Not as good as Season 1, not sure if it's even worth the watch. Just alright.

SEASON 2
Disappointingly unnecessary sequel to the quirky blockbuster first season doesn't do anything worthwhile except waste it's protagonists and introduce bland caricatures.
