I liked season 1 which i labelled fun in the sun...but now so much crass swearing and stupid really nasty fighting, its lost the one thing it had going for it!!! an **endearing** adherence to a level of innocence and beach side cleanliness, the self awareness of its own tongue in cheek phoney conversations and dramas being played out straight faced, measured, mannered by the actors, and rather hypnotic to watch. Now that aura of deliberate distancing from real life, from the tawdry, has been broken by a crossing of the line to an unfortunate degree of "getting too real"...guys (writers) you cant have it both ways!!! It was a delicate balancing act, a fine line, but now mean and ugly is taking too much of a foothold, taking up too much of the unusual energy flow of this show. And its funny but when that balance is lost THE ACTORS STOP BEING CONVINCING...their conviction in what they re saying gets very shakey and they start to realise we look and sound ugly and dumb. Now it's like i just wanna have a hot shower and wash off the abusive toxic muck that has become Siesta Key. Chloe is now particularly grotesque, like a fat tumour on the back end of a sad postscript. So long SK wasn't nice knowing you at all in the end. you jumped the shark BIG TIME.
