Agree on season 1!

Season 2...

I don't hate season 2 Nina. My problem with her temper is just the fact that the show never portrayed it as being at all wrong even when it was, and nobody stood up to her. Not even Patricia, who is notorious for not taking BS, bad situation or not. I agree she was going through an awful situation and in those times, it is okay to be angry sometimes. But it was constantly happening, and then they would move on like nothing happened, and then it would happen again and again... I sympathize with what she was going through a lot. I just feel like she was sloppy in season 2 because they could have taken her stress and her temper and made it part of actual development where she learns that she does have people- she has Sibuna, and aren't the friendships just as important as the romance between her and Fabian? Once she realizes she really does have people she can turn to and who she can completely trust, she could start feeling safer because Sibuna always has each-other's backs...and I admitted that her not wanting them to get hurt was a very good character trait, but she never really did anything about that but complain and freak out and the writers used it to justify her actions. And most of the time, she didn't seem stressed, it was just those few moments in each episode where she lashed out and then they moved on as if it didn't happen.

So I guess it's not Nina herself, but the way the writers portrayed her. She just needed development and they didn't give it to her...

And the sue thing. That's one reason I'm not too thrilled about season 2 Nina. But she wasn't horrible. Just...really could have been done so much better.

Thanks for that Jamb, your move ;)
