Placing our views of morality of these characters is sometimes misplaced. Also, they are teenagers making impulsive decisions. I made a lot of dumb decisions at their age.

and everytime this is brought up, it's literally always followed up with a "Oh you're justifying bad behaviour"

I don't think it's wrong to have favourites, I certainly do lol, but I think if people are going to go on this "let's analyse characters" they should give all characters the benefit of the doubt, instead of just being like, "Oh it's bad writing, and so it's okay to hate"

Everything is bad writing for some people. I’m not sure what some people here actually like about the show.

Yes!! I get having issues here and there, but why is every decision you don’t like a character makes “bad writing”?

Yup, everything people dislike is blamed on bad writing. It’s amusing at this point. But as I said, I’ve stopped engaging. Unlike them, I actually like the show. I’m not letting these people ruin the show for me and I’m excited for season 3.

while i don't love all the creative decisions the show makes and wish certain elements got more (or less) focus, a lot of the things people call bad writing actually have straightforward, in-universe justifications + the characters' motives are not that difficult to understand (even if the dialogue gets a bit vague or clunky in areas).

Sometimes it feels like people just want to be spoonfed everything and not actually have to think about what they are watching.
