Season 1: Eva's story serves as a presentation card for the coming seasons and sets the tone of whether viewers want to continue the show. I wish it focused more on friendship since that was the season's highlight.
Season 2: It pains me that the show didn't make fun of William's attempt to be a bad boy, the main couple would've been a lot more fun. If this was aired nowadays, it would've suffered from Gossip Girl (2021) season 2 syndrome. (5/10)
Season 3: It revindicated my love for a good romance, that it's a shame the writers improved after two mind-numbing seasons. From the stares and the writing to their chemistry and performances. Everything got a 180 upgrade. There are so many memorable scenes, and the amount of edits I watched from this season is embarrassing. Such a fun time.
Another highlight it's how the friends play a major role in the main character's growth and not only a certain character's advice like in previous seasons.
My only problem was how the show handled the twist, instead of as a storyline. The reason why the conclusion feels unsatisfactory short, it's that it didn't take the time to properly elaborate or introduce it in another way.
Overall, the season is still too good, though. The first 5 episodes are straight-up high-school romance aesthetic that make it so easy to fall in love with the story.
Season 4: Sadly, we get more of the main crew separated or fighting. After Episode 8, I wished for a season that focused more on female friendship and allowed us to really get to know the rest of the girls. The finale and the bloopers destroyed me, and I'm still recovering from Isak's birthday video.
