I’ve seen the first two episodes and I don’t really like it all that much, I think so far, Conrad is an a**hole while Jeremiah is good to Izzy (not calling her Belly because eww) but from what I hear he’s good to a lot of other girls.
Going off of looks, Conman (my name for Conrand) looks like a sim where somebody maxed out the lenght between eyebrows, made his eyes smaller and pushed them into the skull. His brother looks like somebody took the face of a 10yo kid and plastered it onto a body of a teenage boy. Maybe it’s his lashes or his big eyes but he looks much younger than he’s supposed to be, to me at least. Izzy looks fine, but I don’t think she got much prettier than she used to look in the first episode, she just got bewbs and lost glasses, and sometimes that’s a lot, but in this case, that didn’t change much in my opinion. She literally looks the same just taller and with bewbs. If she put on glasses and put sweats on she’d look the same.
I really like Sextus so far and hope he stays, but I know how it’ll end so I can live in my fantasy until then, who knows if I’ll even finish the show
EDIT: Also what’s with the nickname Belly? I heard somebody said there’s a line “I saw my brother kissing my Belly” and that sounds disgusting lol. I genuinley think the author nicknamed Isabella as Belly so in the first episode they could do the “Belly flop” joke, and that’s it, but it would also be plausible if her nickname was Bella. Then they could do a “Bella flop” and that sounds simmilar enough to “Belly flop” to be recognizable as a play on words on that phrase. And if her nickname was “Bella” and she turned pretty somebody could definitely note how her name finally suits her, because she is Bella, and that means beautiful.
Jenny Han is a genius, I’ll say that much
Between this and XO, Kitty, she has such a hold on me rn
Her name is Isabel, not Isabella
I think it’s supposed to be a childhood nickname that stuck (or at least that’s what I gathered from a quick google search)

I’m team Conrad right now but I feel like I could be persuaded to lean towards team Jere if he smartens up a bit

Like I’m so ready to know who she ends up with or if she ends by herself or with someone new. I saw a clip today of the brother’s dad (Adam) saying he is team Adam. And Laurel saying she is team Belly.
