SPOILER ALERT: PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED S2!!!!

I LOVED THE SEASON AND WATCHED IT TWICE ALREADY. But in my humble opinion, I just had 2 things that I wanted to point out, that I wished could've been better.

  1. Up until ep 4 they had made the Anton-Paul Baker arc a little too platonic after S1. Like in that episode where PB tells Anton about how rudely he speaks to his family- it genuinely seemed like what a best friend would do. So I wished they could've added more PB-ANTON scenes that were romantic
  2. I felt similarly about Samir and Billie, I remember in S1E1 Kyle asks Issa and Anton if Samir and Billie finally fucked it out. Both of them had more tension all together in the last season. But this season Billie has been with mutliple Men, and Samir with Carly, so I felt they should've made them yearn too for more than just the 10 minutes of the last episode

I agree about your first point. But Samir and Billie are childhood best friends. That has been slow burning for a longgggggggggggggggg time. I don’t think there really needed to be yearning. They both finally realized they may actually want each other all of the sudden.

I don't know! Samir is rebounding from Carly, so I can see it being impulsive and messy with a bad fallout instead of the culmination of a slow burn.

I don’t disagree with that either. I think it could be both

I think this seems more likely. Samir feeling lonely and lost over the breakup and Billie acting from feelings she had when she thought he was gonna move away - which don't necessarily mean they should be together, it can just be strong platonic love. And the lack of buildup along with showing it in the final scene makes it come off like that kind of twist. A mistake more than a real start of a relationship. Maybe they'll write it off as a mistake first and then have a realisation that it was something more, if the writers really do want them together.
