Babe and Charlie are now in a committed relationship and they are still surrounded by a plethora of friends and colleagues. Babe still races and is top of the game. However a new boy Willy arrives and soon becomes a threat to Babe. For some reason, he also majorly flirts with Babe, much to Charlie's annoyance. Willy wants to sleep with him and this causes all kinds of rift between Babe and Charlie. I dont understand why Babe would not tel Charlie about this and a simple chat would have cleared everything up. Anyway, while this is going on, Charlie is also working in a lab creating some sort of serum so that everyone's super human abilities can neutralized and they can be all normal. This lab is now run by Way's boyfriend. Way does in season 1 and season 2 brings his look alike (who we retold later was his twin but had no special powers). There is the whole romance angle between these two again. Then there is the quintessential villain. I think his name is Tony. He is the same guy who managed to survive death and is back to take revenge. There is all kinds of games being played where turns out that Willy was working for Tony and he has some other guys. He wants to take revenge from Babe, his favorite student and Charlie , while he secretly is working on a serum that can enhance super human abilities (opposite of what Charlie is doing). These games, cat and mouse lie, continue to go with new ides. And then out of blue in third last episode, Charlie is experimented on something and then he loses his memory and love for Babe. As if so much confusion wasn't enough already, this new side makes things further messier. I haven't even talked of all the other 3-4 parallel love stories going on in the plethora of characters that this show has. Of course, the good guys win eventually. I am not sure how they eventually get successful in killing Tony because he apparently had the strength to come back from dead. Also it is not very clear if the lab was successful in making the serum that could make all these guys normal.
Honestly I dont know what was the need for season 2. I am guessing that people like me who did not like the show were very few and they had enough demand and money to make a follow up season. Clearly no money was spared this time either. You see a big care race scene in almost every episode, Production quality is high, and many steamy sex scenes which was a standard in first season. But is this all enough? Not for me. The big culprit is having way too many characters and in the process making it not just confusing but also not being able to do justice to either storyline. And then you leave viewers like me with utmost frustration. Even as a couple Babe and Charlie feel odd. They have great sexual chemistry but clearly they are not communicating. They are not trusting of the other person and sometimes they are too possessive. And if I could slap them both every time they referred to as Mama and Papa. I mean, who does that? And how is this cure or adorable!! The middle of the show episodes had to be fast forwarded at so many times because they were just not interesting and the repeated pattern got very annoying. I feel like I am wasting time even writing this review and so I don't want to do that any further. I will be quite surprised if anyone at all ends up liking this season. (3.5/10)
