Thoughts

My Mad Fat Diary Season 2 follows Rae after she revealed her mental health issues to her friends. Her friends are accepting and understanding. She is in the perfect relationship with Finn. Kester has moved her from one-on-one therapy session to group therapy. And college is starting. What can possibly go wrong?

Of course, if you had been through My Mad Fat Diary Season 1, you would know despite the extreme limited number of episodes, everything will go wrong eventually.

Plot

I really do not know how I feel about this second season. I enjoyed it, I know I liked it, but did I love it as much as season 1? I doubt so. I had teared up so much in the previous season, the lack of tears in this second season was rather weird to me. I really only almost teared up during one episode and I think it was the last episode. I guess it’s because season 2 was a repetition of season 1, just with somewhat different problems, that’s all.

I am just grateful the last episode was written that way. I would not be able to forgive the writers if the gang was not back together. Or Rae’s relationship with Kester was as rocky. Or Rae’s relationship with her mother and stepfather remained hostile. So, thank you.

Cast (characters, character development and cast’s acting, etc.)

Let’s begin with Rae Earl. Once again, Sharon Rooney did a marvellous job acting as Rae. Rae’s character went on a roller coaster ride for character development this season. Within those few episodes, I went through phases of like, dislike, annoyance, indifference and admiration for Rae. Ultimately, she is still a Queen character and I love her vulnerabilities. If I had watched this show earlier on in my life, I might have been a better friend to some of my past friends...

So, that one episode where we focused Chloe Gernell? The episode finally gave me ease for liking this character from the beginning. Sometimes, people need to know that everybody goes through difficult times. There will come day when even the happiest or cheeriest person goes through a dark path and be overwhelmed with pessimism. With Chloe and that one episode, it shows it all. It also shows that, someone who very obviously is suffering from mental health issues can become very ignorant to the people around them. Not that it’s their ill intent because usually there is no ill intent, but thanks to Chloe’s story, now I know to be more aware of people around me. Her story teaches a strong lesson that many tend to neglect and Jodie Comer did an amazing job showing it onscreen.

I do love the other people in the gang but there isn’t much to discuss here based on season 2. Finn is barely around. Izzy is here and there but not very significant. I missed Chop in season 2 but I am glad he had a big moment when he stood up for Archie, the definition of better late than never indeed. As for Archie, well, it’s season 1 all over again with him. And the new characters? I did not like a single one at all, especially Liam. So yeah, I’ll leave this here.

Conclusion

Like I said, if only I had learnt about this TV show earlier than I did.

Any of you who stumbled across this review and had not watched the show, I strongly suggest you do it. It can seriously change you into a better person.

Rating: B+

Gahhh Liam from mmfd upsets me so much because of how much I fucking liked him but then he ruined my SOUL. Like hes a very destructive person. The whole "lets stay sick. Lets be sick together " is not fucking good. Hes really cute tho. But anyways when he first came along I was like YES. HELL YEAH. only because Fin was really pushing her to "be better" and they were fucking terrible at communication. But as soon as Liam said "we're not exactly oil painting are we?" I got so fucking pissed. Because honestly SHE does fucking have a body like a beautiful renaissance painting. Man he was so cute and had some hella cute moments but he truly isnt good for Rae. Fin4ever.

It's like being a social experiment, where they keep a load of people in the same building and the only thing they all have in common is their age. And because of this, it's populated by people trying to fit in. The teachers push an ideal of us: "To excell here or be a failure in life, learn this 15th century lyric poem and hypothesize on the significance of the french revolucion OR... be worthless in society.". I feel hatred towards the whole thing. And when I feel that hatred, I feel happy. 'Cause I realize it, that's not me. They're not me and they never will be. It makes me FUCKING DELIRIOUS!
