didn't you like are you excited to be back what do you hope to see in this part two and let me know
some of your favorite moments of these first three episodes let's discuss it all in the comments
below so i reviewed the first part on this channel all eight episodes you can check it out but just
long story short i really enjoyed the first part if this show is kind of scratching that euphoria
itch i love you for you if you all don't know i reviewed the first season i reviewed the special
episodes we got last year and and one that we got at the top of this year big fan of you for you
generation isn't euphoria it doesn't have the same acting the story the cinematography the score but
it's still a show that i really enjoy in regards to it's a more of a dramatic it has dramatic
elements but it has a little bit more comedy than euphoria has that coming of age vibes to the show
like before he has so it's definitely a show that i really enjoy about these teenagers this
generation that i'm obviously much older than but seeing them kind of confronting themselves
self-discovery figuring out who they are as people figuring out their sexuality and all the different
themes that we got in the first part so i'm a big fan of the show and i really enjoy these
characters so here we are discussing part two in the first three episodes so this will be a spoiler
discussion i assume if you're watching this video you've seen the first part and you've seen the
first three episodes of part two so we're gonna dive deep into it starting off with episode nine
titled deep fake now this was a really good way to get us back into this world catching up to
these characters that i really enjoy starting off with the lead of the show chester who is
meeting beau for the very first time and listen this was a very awkward date we we meet beau for
the first time we know that he obviously chester really is in cebu with the exchange they had in
the finale or should save the part one finale him texting him and getting excited for meeting
him so now they're meeting each other and again awkward date a date that you will never forget
right we see beau immediately accidentally hits chester and his chin by lifting his head up we
see that they have this exchange conversation about how chester was stalking him online
we see you know awkward conversation about bitcoin again just a lot of awkwardness going on they're
very nervous to meet each other for the first time it's very apparent in this meeting we go from
awkward to just really weird things happening the cowboy telling them hey i like brokeback mountain
the little girl talking about hey are you guys going to be rubbing body parts later tonight
and then ultimately one of the kids just throws up on the floor which causes chester the fall
on it so again if things work out between bo and chester this is a first story or first date that
you can never forget a great way to open up the episode but in generation fashion we go
back 12 hours earlier in the day and we run into my favorite character of part one and
my favorite character of the show and that is riley she's just such an interesting character
she reminds me of lady bird uh if you guys saw that movie with cersei ronan she's a character
who's hardened on the outside but soft and inside and she has a lot to do in these first three
episodes and i'm loving that the show is kind of focusing on all of these characters but again
i'm a riley fan so i love that we kind of catch up with her we get this dynamic that we've never seen
in part one which is you know obviously sam is a guidance counselor but he's having a conversation
with riley in regards to her skipping class and her kind of being in this kind of
bad mood and her she's in trouble because of the art piece that she has and again it's just one of
the things i love about her just her perspective on certain things and kind of switching to norms
and making people feel uncomfortable about something that shouldn't be uncomfortable with
his sexuality so i i'm a big fan of that character but again just seeing them having a conversation
was interesting because we don't get a lot from sam in the first three episodes and i'm assuming
the show has kind of left that weird storyline that i was not like all that interested in
between sam and chester again the age difference teacher and all that stuff so i'm glad the show
is not shining the light on that but at the same time i wonder what sam's purpose is going to be in
this part besides being a guidance counselor only time will tell but we see that riley is still in
a weird space with greta and vice versa we see that uh chester is contemplating should he go
to this party this ex-files party that the best on on television is hosting anna uh and we see again
greta is just like i don't know if if i want to say riley doesn't know if she should go because
obviously greta's gonna be there but this was a very interesting moment in regards to just
getting an understanding of what a day-to-day life looks like for riley as she's telling chester that
her mom's going through a midlife crisis she's obviously going through this divorce with her
with her dad and he's dating this younger girl and her mom with this midlife crisis is resorting
reverting back to her being a little girl has like this little playroom that she can go to
and unfortunately her mom is in the room while she's telling chester this again
awkward moments in this episode but again you just get an idea of the dynamic that riley goes
through from her home life to her school life she has a lot on her plate again my favorite character
and i love that this first episode is kind of shining a light on her but speaking of shine the
light we get the rest of the crew here we go to anna's party the x-files party which i'm a fan of
x-files so again this gives me more reason to love this character but we see within this moment that
greta's mom has yet to come back home which we'll talk about her in episode three but this is where
the whole crew comes over to the party and as they're kind of watching this x-files episode we
catch up to delilah and in delight is kind of like solo moment we see that she's still kind of in her
mindset where she's you know still recovering from letting her her first born child go away in the
last season's finale or say part one finale we see that she's trying to open up and try
to begin this new chapter in her life as we catch up with her and naomi and ariana are still really
good friends they exchange gifts for one another they're really like best of friends now and there
seems to be a little story line that we're gonna be looking forward to in this season or this part
where cooper may or may not cause some conflict between naomi and delilah because they both
like him and we'll obviously talk about him in the next episode but we cut to catching up with megan
who is trying to discover why nathan is bisexual by inviting the pastor over and again we see naomi
being the the fun sister helping him out in that situation as he's saying that he has a boyfriend
which brings us back to chester we tie all the way back to the front of the episode where we
go to the skating ring and randomly we see beau throws up and he comes up with this excuse that
he has to leave the date because his mom has a presentation in the morning she needs his help so
i took that scene as not that bo wasn't interested in chester it was just an awkward date from the
kid comment to the uh you know the bitcoin conversation to the throwing up it was just
let's hit the reset button so i took that as him like let me reset and and maybe reschedule this
date as we know later on in episode three uh to get things back going so obviously chester didn't
think of that he thinks that oh he's not into me this is not going well there seems to be some
disconnect between how chester is more openly gay and how bo seems to be a little bit more reserved
uh so obviously chester's like wow i was so into this guy and things turned out to be horrible
as we kind of wrap up the episode it's nice to see how the crew is now there for one another as we
saw chester was kind of a loner in season or part one but now he has the crew to go to as he has
his bad date he goes over to the x-files party he has a conversation with nathan they talk about the
voicemail that was left there and i like that the show is which i think they're going to ultimately
end up together but chester tells nathan i don't think we're going to end up like this i don't look
at you that way i just look at you as a friend but hey i've seen enough tv shows to know that
they're going to eventually cross paths probably about in this part i think we'll see what happens
with bo but i think that nathan and chester will probably end up being together we'll see we'll see
but again that's kind of the the the recap of the ninth episode which i really enjoyed again
being back with these characters was a lot of fun but i think for me episode 10 and episode
11 was the best episodes out of the the three that we got and particularly i think episode
two is probably my favorite out of the three but three or let's just say the episode 12 is kind
of up there but nonetheless let's talk about this uh 10th episode titled built for pleasure as it's
essentially following three different dates we have chester and beau going on round two we have
greta and riley's uh hookup going on kind of seeing what they're going to get into and then
we get cooper and delilah so as we see in this episode we see uh nathan wants to have this plan
to pretend that chester is his boyfriend as by the way i forgot to mention in the
previous episode that they make out in front of megan which obviously upsets her but nonetheless
they're going with this whole plan that chester's going to pretend to be nathan's boyfriend just to
kind of shake things up as he asks him hey how am i as a kisser as he gives him a review on
his kissing skills but nonetheless we learned that uh this was the first time that chester
has been on the actual date which again meant so much to him that it didn't turn out well but hey
you always get second chances as we see it later in this episode but there wasn't a ton of stuff
going on for like the first 10 15 minutes until we get things kind of really picking up which we see
we learned that i believe her name was luisia if i'm not mistaken i can't remember the character's
name but essentially the girl that hooked up with riley in the hotel last uh the first part we see
that she knew greta from when they were kids and they kind of hit it off at the skating rink or i
should say uh skateboarding they have a thing going but at the same time we see that chester
and nathan are hanging out and nathan accidentally sends like a let's go on another date uh text uh
pretending to be chester to beau hits the send button obviously chess is upset he says he tells
uh nathan and kind of a mean way that you mess up everything that upsets nathan he gets out of the
car but surprisingly bo says yeah i'm down let's do a round two but obviously chester at this point
doesn't realize that he kind of upset nathan and nathan goes and storms into the house which again
i'm thinking about in this this part that they will end up a couple but we'll see
but nonetheless we see that uh we cut to in between all the different dates
chester and bo have a really a better second date with trying to go to the movie theater but
they end up going against snacks and they come across this uh sex novel which is kind of the
thesis of this episode in regards to discovering who you are and giving people second chances so
he's reading that to them and they end up you know having this kind of intimate moment in the
car nothing sexual but they just kind of embrace each other for the first time acknowledging that
they do care for one another that they are going to be a couple as we'll see in the next episode
we cut from that to greta and louisia as louisia tries to make her move but greta says she denies
her kiss because she wants to get to know her more but it's just interesting to see that dynamic and
that she hasn't told her that she hooked up with riley in last uh the last parts finale so that'll
be interesting to see how that plays out but the funniest moment i mentioned we have three dates
delilah invites cooper over which riley's over at the same time they're having like this family
day or whatever playing monopoly and uh cooper tries to make a move tries to go in for a kiss
but delilah shuts the door on him which i thought was hilarious but to me i'm thinking that she did
that because she just again gave up her kids she had her first child she's keeping a secret to
her parents which seemed to be really good parents and her whole family dynamics seems to be pretty
um you know welcoming and they seem to be open to just life and love and all that stuff so obviously
she just probably doesn't want to get into another relationship right away as well as she probably
doesn't want to hurt her her best friend's feelings and naomi so it's really interesting
to see that dynamic but again i thought this was a really great episode as we wrap up with
greta going home and her mom is officially home which brings us into absolute zero which is the
title of episode 11 which i love that again focuses on my favorite character as riley is
she wants to be absolute zero but she's trying to get her mind off of not having anyone to love
as everyone is finding love in this particular part she tries to get a job she tries to get
back her grades and all that stuff which we'll talk about her at the end but as we kind of
cut in between riley figuring things out we see that bo and chester are now officially a thing
you know chester invites beau over to his house meets his nana and shares a really cool story a
really intimate story about his experience with his mom and a life lesson that she gave him
and then they ultimately do have this moment where they do embrace each other so again
interesting to see beau and chester it's all love and dove but again i think that chester and nathan
will be a couple by the end of this part but cut to that to seeing greta which was really
interesting she invites greta invites her friends over to meet her mom who's back home uh you know
for the first time and she invites uh luisia because luisa is just like hey man i don't want to
play the whole closeted lesbian thing if you're into me if you're not let's just figure it out but
she says yes i want to invite you over get to know you more but then indirectly we see that again
anna's so great she helps riley figure things out and getting her this job but then riley wants to
come over to the house to give her flowers so a very awkward situation but a really interesting
situation because we see a lot of stuff happening in this kind of get to know uh greta's friend's
party where we see greta's mom who we know to be kind of a stuck up kind of stuck in her way
she's finally kind of letting loose having fun there dancing having a good time but then
ultimately you know things kind of don't work out for everyone in the situation which unfortunately
the person that gets the short end of the stick is riley in this episode as we see greta and louisia
getting ice cream and luis is like okay bye have a good night riley uh thank you no thank you
trying to make her move or whatnot but we see anna again being a great person has this kind of
one-on-one conversation with riley regarding hey if you need somewhere to stay if you need a safe
haven there's a room for you because i had that as a kid so again i love anna i love riley more of
them more of them please because they're two great characters and i think they fit so well together
i love their chemistry on screen as well i think they're easily my favorite actors
and favorite characters in the show but as we wrap up the episode again things don't
end well for riley as you see louisia and greta going in for a kiss they don't ultimately kiss
but obviously in the pov of riley it seems that they are are now embracing each other
and they might be a couple as we end the episode with riley crushing that frozen
rose which ties back to this episode absolute zero so really good episodes again i think the episode
uh the the pilot or the uh the new park premiere was a good way to get us back into this world with
these fun characters but then episode 10 and 11 really kind of show you what the season might
look like chester and beau nathan love triangle we have obviously uh greta riley and luisia we have
things to figure out with naomi and cooper and delilah so there's a lot of love triangles going
on with this season as well as the all the other characters what's gonna go on with sam and megan
and obviously other characters that we have in the show so hey if you guys want me to cover this like
