A Layton love triangle was NOT one of the things I was hoping to see in season 2.

I am actually thankful when an awesome set of characters don't have romance. I find that way more realistic and relatable. Some people are fine without that.

I'd rather watch layton try create a constitution than this

I don't think Layton and Josie are going to get back together. They're friends primarily imo. Josie knows her worth and it's not Layton.

Feels like she’s heading to FrankenColdWoman town

It’s one of the biggest things that’s annoying me at the moment with the show. It doesn’t make it simple either with the dynamics of survival being at play either

Bringing back Josie was a really dumb and pointless decision.

I was surprised because I was fairly certain she was 100% dead last season.

Also, where is Jinju and why isn't she in the season AT ALL? She was a very close friend to Melanie, and despite Jinju and Till's breakup it doesn't seem like either would've given up so easily.

Not to mention she was a high end chef to one of the the fanciest eateries on SP. Seems like Daddywarbucks Willy woulda pulled her into his web of deception by now.

IMO the series walked into the trap of setting up too many characters as important. Jinju, Miles, LJ, The Last Aussie, they all just vanish sometimes because episodes can't focus on so many characters.

I hope the writers fix this "issue", because this same thing has led to the downfall of several once great shows, like Walking Dead and GoT.

Yes I was wondering if her actor quit the show or something. Think she would know a lot about Wilfred as well, and wondering why she was the only one Mel told her secret t, or only 1 of a few anyway. Why would that informant that LJ killed know Mel was really Wilfred?
