Why ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 2 Is Better Than Season 1
The Big Picture Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Episodes 1-6 of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2.
During the first season, having Susannah and Laurel along for the ride helped to level out the antics of their teens and make the series feel more grounded. The absence of parents has given The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 an entirely different tone. As the kids grapple with extreme loss and change, the lack of that strong, supportive, loving presence is palpable.
'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 2 Is a Teen Takeover In episodes like “Love Game” and “Love Fool," we see how having the whole group together benefits the energy of the show. The playfulness that the kids create when they’re together offset newer, darker themes of grief. The group collects some new members when an estranged cousin, Skye appears with their mom Julia , determined to sell the summer house as quickly as possible.
The Teens Present a United Front When this group of teens are left to their own devices, they seek out any and every opportunity to live out their last summer in Cousins to the fullest. While this mostly consists of games of Truth or Dare, it also gives us insight into the kind of people these characters are growing up to be: how they communicate, problem-solve, or how they learn to stand up for themselves and each other.
