I watched last year when it was a real girlfriend experience but this year it’s a real bomb.
Unfortunately, your opinion means nothing. All that matters to a production & network is the Nielsen system rating and season 2 is at 0.07 which is up from season 1 (0.06). More people are tuning in and watching consistently this time. Calling it what you have doesn’t match the increase in ratings this season. The series has more repeat viewers this season. Period.
