  • lists and this show, this show is it.

  • Right now I know some people are put off by maybe the corniness.

  • Or they probably think it's like a CW show where MTV Show and I'm telling you this is one of Netflix's best.

  • This is a story that's usually like the side pot in a lot of major networks, but Netflix has taken it and given its own voice, look, we've all seen shows that are authentic, right, but they may not have, like the best camera work there shot like a damn progressive commercial.

  • Or maybe you've seen others where they do have characters and they're very popular.

  • But you can tell that those minority characters Aaron, by people who have never actually met those people in real life this show ever exceeds.

  • In all those boxes I had covered season one way back when because that ending at hit hard.

  • So the moment Season two dropped, I double check my locks.

  • I grabbed my heart.

  • Ito's safely and securely stream the show thanks to express VPN and broke.

  • How is season two better than season one?

  • Let me explain.

  • Like I said, if you want our thoughts on Season one and how I thought the show perfectly balanced comedy and drama.

  • We already got you right here.

  • But in terms of Season two, for those who don't know, the series follows four friends in the fictional town of free rich California, where they're just going through your standard John Hughes High School drama, except for the fact that there's two rival gangs looming over them and one of the friends is forced to join.

  • Now, most of you guys already seen the show because I'm gonna talk about it from that perspective.

  • So if you haven't definitely go see it.

  • So weaken secondhand a lot of this conversation and just go see it and give it a try.

  • Because what I love about this show is that you always hear about bad neighborhoods.

  • Or maybe you come from one.

  • And there's always this notion that there's like Onley shootings that happened there like no one has any goals.

  • It's just like they wake up and they wonder who they're gonna shoot today.

  • That's how it is at all.

  • This show actually shows their world the friendships that they have and just breaking on the characters.

  • We have the main ones like Ruby, who's actually based off of one of the creators.

  • Ruby is loosely based on May, and when you're sitting there and you're watching a show about people about people of color made by people of color, there's an authenticity to it.

  • He sure so he makes up for it with his talking.

  • But my man's also been in Logan and the get down.

  • So whenever he hits you with a move or an emotional punch, it's like, Well, yeah, of course this man's gonna go places He's got the acting chops.

  • That's actually something I think for the entire cast.

  • For those of you who have seen the movie Short term 12 and how he looked back on how that movie created so many stars, I hope we look back on my block on this picture right here and go Damn, I remember when they started here.

  • The biggest reason I think Season two is better, though, is mainly because of Ruby's character.

  • Like, I'm sure everyone watching Season one got so accustomed to the comedy.

  • They thought it was all funny at that.

  • Caesar was the only one in danger, never Ruby.

  • It just shows you the repercussions.

  • You want that they had Ricky Ruby.

  • The fact that it ended up being Olivia who died was sad, but I'm pretty sure we all preferred Ruby being alive thing.

  • And then Ruby even gives her a Spanish dictionary when they visit her memorial.

  • I'm with Ruby.

  • The girl was many things, definitely not a linguist here she wants called Jetta.

  • Raja wasn't just wants because of that death, though.

  • Season to Ruby is having these emotional breakdowns.

  • Almost every party is ruined because it triggers that PTSD.

  • He's feeling Survivor's guilt.

  • He's more upset that his family had to feel that pain than the literal physical pain he felt, and this man kills it.

  • That said, there was also these crazy speeches written for him that, you know, I'll be honest, didn't really work for me.

  • I'm not saying that people can give long Gary V monologues, but it felt more like a writer speaking through him, if that makes any sense.

  • Surprisingly, though, for a character that talks a lot, it's the moments where he talks the least that I think hit the most.

  • Caesar's an interesting character, and the beauty of it is that it doesn't even start with him.

  • His brother, Spooky could probably lead a whole season on his own, you know, just because of the deaf they've given him.

  • And the thing about that is that we've seen Spooky before.

  • In a lot of movies, it's always the same.

  • You can even call it a character more like a stand in for Total number one, you know, shot out to actors like Cliff Curtis and no algae, who have always kind of been typecast into these roles, and they never were allowed to really flesh them out.

  • But I'm glad to see that both of these guys were not getting better rules.

  • And I'm glad to see what they did with Spooky in this season.

  • I just think about it.

  • You ever wonder how this affects people who are only seeing that portrayal of Mexicans on TV?

  • Like if they haven't met other Mexicans?

  • Some people are ignorant enough to think that every person just looks like that.

  • That's how they act.

  • Get the hell out of there.

  • With that.

  • When Smoky started talking about how he wanted to go to college, his perspective and the sacrifices that he's made his loyalty and hurt when dealing with his little brother, who not on Lee let him down.

  • But then he has to put everything on the line to save him.

  • But you can tell this was written by someone who eats how it got this, and not just avocado toast.

  • I know some people have brought up how the sandals are the main focus and that they kind of look down on the profits.

  • And I think that's all about perspective.

  • I think the show is more nuanced and subtle to the point that I have no doubt the showrunners air going to focus in on the profits and their side and future seasons, you know.

  • And if they do do this one thing that I love, then I'll say it for the end of the video, back to Caesar.

  • He was being forced into this gang and because he didn't want to be a part of it, and he decided to not do the command that was commanded of him.

  • That mistake ends up going back to her, his friends, and now this dude's feeling all guilty.

  • That whole sophomore season is about him feeling unwanted because it's almost like he was predestined to be in this gang like he never even had a choice, which is insane.

  • I won't say which object this real quick.

  • Yeah, Monster is about to be a lot of people's crushes if she isn't already like a storyline with her, and Caesar was cool, I get it.

  • It's cute.

  • Everyone still making their love montages for them on YouTube.

  • But that story line with her mom, though, like I get that the dad raise monster, right?

  • The dad who stayed is going through this conundrum above, obviously wanted to keep his daughter, but at the same time, he knows that selfish because this place is dangerous.

  • But in terms of the mom, I mean, yes, she's better than Billy Batson's.

  • But the fact that she lies, that she's spreading all these different things after she was the one who deserted months, eh?

  • Like I hate when people lie and put other people down to hide the fact they're the scumbags faking domestic abuse for sympathy, leaving your daughter because you don't know how genetic works, ma'am.

  • On King, I'm literally trying to tell you guys something clicked well, positively changed your life.

  • Then there's Jamal Who?

  • Roger Mills.

  • Wiley.

  • There's a scene where he eats time edibles the season.

  • And I was like, Isn't this man eating edibles all the time?

  • You know, like I know a lot of people love his character.

  • My man just got way too much stamina for me.

  • But he was the one who found the fabled roller world money.

  • Um, but then I guess he lost it.

  • So there's that.

  • Okay.

  • Who said Jasmine was a top three character?

  • I thought my list was set and solidified.

  • And then season to Jasmine comes in wanting to be so close to Ruby that that that included the number one spot as well.

  • I don't get me wrong.

  • I don't lot of people with this energy, right?

  • And I'm not giving a past the lines like these.

  • Does that mean I wanna win the day?

  • But for every bad line they gave her, there were others that made me spit on my heart.

  • Eat those.

  • So tell me if you squeeze them titties hard enough, does Mel come out and again?

  • It's seeing her back story that makes you love her even more like Wait.

  • We all thought she was annoying Season one, and I don't season two.

  • It's like, Yo, out of all the friends, she's probably the most loyal because, to be honest, Jasmine and Jamal maybe running on honeycomb cereal because they're always hyped up.

  • But they're, like, the least appreciated in the group, and I'm pretty sure that's gonna come back in future seasons.

  • I'm gonna be honest.

  • I don't even like this word.

  • Hold on.

  • Explain.

  • Listen, John know Allomere was cut, canceled by white people for not embracing diversity enough a couple years back.

  • You know, back in the eighties, he days we had made a video praising how Cocoa's authenticity compared to the full diversity some other projects had right.

  • And that was coming from my Mexican perspective because let's keep it real.

  • We can tell when the writer actually knows what they're writing or if they're just, you know, going off stereotypes or you know, things that they've seen before.

  • We know that the term is now a marketing ploy, right?

  • Like many don't use it because they actually care for diversity.

  • There's no diversity means more diverse fund, so we just got to keep it honest.

  • You know, it ain't everyone But just like Oscar bait, there's most def diversity baiting.

  • So to make a video expressing that and honoring a project that I thought I got it right and then heavy.

  • You know what?

  • Is that all you you'll ever have white people explain your experiences to you and for those people, cause I already here in the comments, Caleb's the Billy's out there.

  • Look, if you're one of the good ones and then don't say it, we know you're one of the good ones.

  • If the shooting Phibro the door ing about it, just leave it.

  • What I really want to focus on is the positive, because we notice when the writers know nothing about the viewpoint they're writing for.

  • So hearing that these writers and day players shared similar experiences, it shows they realize that just like the show, life is a tonal shift.

  • And they went at all the aspects like you're in that the Creator's 117 cousin's help make up all the pictures around the refrigerator is awesome that the crew was so tight they had producers and supervisors playing extras that damn writers were smoking it out on the set.

  • This line about the abuelita recognizing or Kawika.

  • Ah, my black.

  • Y'all know we're watching you like, you know, all eyes are on you.

  • So yeah, when I say that the word diversity has been played out, it's because I'm so used to people approaching it in a lazy way or it's fake, you know, like J.

  • K.

  • Rowling making claims because he wants that credit.

  • But it doesn't put the work in.

  • That's why I think representation may be a better where I even hate putting labels, but at least on representation you have to represent.

  • They can't just be a cardboard cut out.

  • And in this show, I'm glad to say they never.

  • Now I've heard the weirdest thing in terms of that clipping or ending.

  • To me, it has to be something big.

  • Like the creators said, they knew how season one was going to end because they had it all planned out.

  • And it's true.

  • Season one ending resonated throughout all of season two.

  • That's what can't be something like, Oh, they just got kidnapped for a birthday party.

  • No, it's got to be something that really effects.

  • And throughout all of Season three, I personally have faith that it will.

  • I've heard theories that ever theories of some people saying It's Olivia's parents coming back for revenge and I'm like, What do you?

  • What do you mean?

  • I'm pretty sure it has to do with the roller world money, but in terms of other theories, I do believe Chivo, maybe Little Ricky who left the game to start a new life.

  • I do believe Caesar's fling.

  • It's gonna come back to be a pregnant plot points that we're going to see, and I definitely think we're going to see more from the profits perspective.

  • My hope, of course, is that they focus a little bit more on Latrell's arc.

  • Obviously, it's gonna take some time, but you just think about this idea like in Season five.

  • Latrell is a part of the crew.

  • He's like, won them over like they've all gotten along.

  • That'd be something that's so crazy, not just because of the message that it would send, but that idea of going back to Season one and not being able to fathom that he used to be the court unquote bad guy.

  • I love when shows build characters like that.

  • The creators have stated that monster is going to be playing an even bigger role in the future.

  • And I could definitely see her leaving for a couple of episodes still covering her at the boarding school and all that stuff.

  • But then coming back because obviously she wouldn't leave her friends.

  • I also love of the creators of the show.

  • Look at the character, sort of like in season like I was talking about with Jasmine.

  • She was annoying in Season one, but then, after everything you learned about her in Season two, you look at her differently, and I'm wondering who else we're gonna learn more of and then see them differently if we were to re watch the episodes.

  • You know, there's also the idea that Monster's mom right now may be a bad influence.

  • But who knows what the future holds?

  • Its really building up on that idea that the movie blind spotting hit on where you don't judge someone for one thing or think that they're bound to it, but that people can change or perspectives, you know, are sometimes not what they seem.

  • And the show's doing that outside of its characters.

  • You know, anytime anyone talks about the hood that ghetto, the inner city.

  • There's the notion that nothing good comes out of there, that all the kids are bad, but they're not.

  • We've just rarely shared their stories.

  • We didn't realize that portraying only the negative is exactly well, brings it back that the black story was being told from people probably not from it and why I believe those telling it authentically should be praised for making a diff.

  • You know, I used to get on camera and talk about street shit, right?

  • Or talk about gang culture.

  • And then I get to my show and everybody want to show me that they hard and everybody fighting in the crowd and shooting up the parking lot.

  • And so I'm like them.

  • You know, I'm I'm putting out of energy, do these interviews or through this conversation I'm having on camera that's bringing it is showing back up in my show.

  • So that's when I decided I must speak what I want to see.

  • And I started talking about business and uh oh yeah, speaking about opportunity and speaking about progress and optimism, and I saw that come back to me also, that you guys were watching this video and a big shadow to express VPN.

  • You know, we're super grateful for the sponsors that we get on this channel because not only does it help it, but they also pushes to cover stories like these, which, like you don't even realize how that's one of the best parts.

  • Like we respect that a lot in 2019 you're gonna need protection from everything, especially when you're online.

  • Instead, we use it allowed for streaming because it has the fastest speeds.

  • It's on every app, which is dope.
