Such good and caring parents. When his mom said everyone loves you,it was so powerful. Also his dad constantly concerned about his son's safety,it all melt my heart. And it's understandable why they had difficulty to accept their son as a gay. As Eric's dad said,they had difficulty settling down in a foreign country,where they knew no one. Also they were black,so he was well aware of the minority stuff too. So it's normal to have doubts But I am so glad they were progressive and they not only accepted their son,but also encouraged him to love himself and be proud of who he was. I wish everyone has that kind of supportive parents.
I don't think Eric has a difficult relationship with his dad. His dad is the sweetest, he's just so afraid for his son, being gay and black, that's all. Yet he's conflicted since he doesn't want his son to hide whatever he really is.
Van Nguyen Wtf 😂 imagine being so ignorant. This was a sweet comment that was true and you have to come here being disrespectful for no reason. You don’t have to be negative all the time keep rude opinions to yourself 🤢🤦🏽♀️
I really love what they’ve done with Adams character. It’s a very realistic change. Not super drastic like others would be, but you see subtle changes that signify his growth as a person. It makes him more likable.
Sorry but a bully bullying someone for being gay, making their life hell, then suddenly coming out as gay and trying to get with the victim (who just so happens to suddenly like him too). No, no that’s not realistic at all. Especially when the victim already had a boyfriend. Good character growth though
@@ohnono69 There are actually a lot of closeted gay teenagers or even adults who suffer from the same struggle. Hating who they are, envying those who can be themselves unapologetically and chose violence to release their anger.
2:03 "I hATE you." 8:23 "I"m scared." 8:48 "I feel like everyone hates me." Just. Wow, Adam is hating himself so much that it hurts. He's such a powerful character and he grew up so much. Damn let him and Eric be happy Netflix.
How about no he bullied him for 4 years people never change. It's weak people like u are the ones who gets hurt over and over again. And u say that he's sorry you say everyone I sorry how about don't do anything to be sorry about ?
@@PhsycoEarthling while its true, in many abusive relationships, the abused will feed the need to stay together and the abuser doesn't change; in this case adam does show true signs of change and self acceptance and goes through a major character arc
@@JordanJumpin bullshit he's still an asshole people never change and his background abusive family shit doesn't and won't justify his behaviour we have choice stop blaming people's background for what they are, background doesn't make a person it's the person themselves
@@JordanJumpin u see trust is a fragile thing and break it it's too late it can never be fixed God may have forgiveness or weak people but for me no because strong people stay away from the toxic for good
I really really hope adam doesn’t hurt eric anymore, and i really hope what rahim said at the end isn’t foreshadowing..I just want adam and eric to be happy y’all
I am sure in some form or another what Rahim forewarned will play out and that will probably be a huge arc for Adam and Eric, especially Eric to figure out whether or not he did really make the right choice being with Adam after all he'd done in the past. But I personally am super excited to see them play with that because I think it would be a good thing for those in a similar situation to be able to relate and get perspective. There's a lot that can be done with it.
I think the character of Adam is wonderfully nuanced. The two actors are wonderful. It's messy and we may not agree with Eric forgiving Adam so quickly but it happens in real life.
I was hoping for Eric to forgive him I know Adam actions were terrible but he had so much anger and didn't know how to handle it so did it in the worst possible way but he's a good boy.
Ginette Parada being abused or angry is not an excuse to pick on those weaker than you. He hated being bullied by his dad but bullied those weaker than him. He's not a good boy he could be but right now, he's not. You won't think a 16 year old who bullies your own child and others violently and robs them of their food and money for 4 years is a good kid. Neither is Adam.
I have had sex with a person at night who used to bully me in the school during the day. But he used to be a complete different person when I was alone with him. It was like 10 years ago. Now I have grown adult. But its crazy to think how stupid I was.
I really liked how Otis called out adam’s toxic behavior. I feel like as queer people the whole bully to lover thing is kind of a fantasy but it’s important to see abuse where it lies.
It’s a fantasy until it happens. It happened to me in high school with this skater... he was nowhere near insufferable as Adam was but he treated me like shit until it was on his terms away from ppl then he was so incredibly sweet and tender. He’d put his arms around me and I felt safe but truth is he took out his anger about his own issues on me. I wanted him to be happy but that had to end
@@sophie7826 Otis isn’t cruel to Maeve everything he said to Maeve was true. She uses him all the time and constantly expects him to put his problems on the back burner for her
I know!!! People were saying it was problematic to ship eric with adam over rahim when eric and Adam have history and Rahim had literally no personality like obviously people don't care for that
a n yeah, a history of nonstop bullying and harassment. at least rahim treated eric the way he deserved to be treated and was a genuinely good boyfriend
Count me in as well. Truth be told, Adam and Eric have a stronger relationship than Maeve and Otis. So, if Adam and Eric don't start dating I will personally raid Netflix HQ.
@@scoodlemcnoodle7198 Maeve and Otis are so fuckin dumb when they’re talking to each other 💀💀 their relationship is just a cliche that like every show has. Awkward nerdy white boy with “feelings issues” gets with the edgy white girl who is secretly smart but acts rude trope. Something in me hopes they’re not canon just so it can be slightly realistic
I Think Adam really needs this relationship. He has no friends, he lost his girlfriend who he really cared for( no hate on Aimee she is great ) and dont even get me started on his father. The relationship most likely will have ups and downs, with Adam and his self hate, but i Think that sins Eric went through the same, he is just the right person to help Edit: season 3. No spoilers please. Just season 3
@SAHRA OSMAN Adam does have one friend by the end of the show, Ola. She’s not really in here though. And he was working on his self confidence before the end too. I agree with you and hope that no more shit happens to Adam next season 💀 he can’t catch a break
I don't watch the show (but i think i would) but what will happen to Rahim? That's kind of tragic...i mean props to Eric for choosing the guy he wants but if i was in Rahim's position and i had to witness that in person...damn it'd hurt me so bad 💀
@@hotmessology3757 Yes i also feel sorry for him, but that stuff habens sometimes, and i know i would rather my partner broke up with me, then staying in a relationship i knew They wouldnt be happy in. Then i could at least move on, and fine someone that does like me.
I'm glad that Adam is back and that they're together, because i ship them but at the same time a part of me knows that Adam was a bad person to everyone, especially Eric, but now he's trying to be better. Adam is a complicated character and things never go his way, so I'm glad that now he has an amazing friend like Ola and a badass boyfriend like Eric. Their quemistry is undeniable.
I feel the exact same way. While I DO like Eric and Adam together, and admire how Adam redeemed himself, and his friendship with Ola, it seemed that Eric forgave him a little TOO easily. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for these guys in a possible third series!💘👬🌈
@@peacefulsoul2784 It's a type of chocolate bar. Its got caramel in it (practically just caramel coated in chocolate), and is extremely chewy. Search for it on google if you'd like.
The point is Adam could find someone who he didn't bully for years and would therefore be a clean slate and Eric could realise he could do better than be with someone who bullied him for years and that he's a person, not Adam's rehabilitation centre
This defines me and my partner! I'm sad to say I was a bully when I was younger and I used to bully this very open queeny gay kid in our school. We knew each other since elementary and to this day he's my partner 15 + years. I realized who I was and I apologized and told him that I think I liked him and he forgave me. He's the greatest love of my life! This show did immense justice to kids like me who where too young and dumb to know who we were at the time! As a former recluse sexuality wise, and now I'm proud openly gay man, sex education did this storyline perfectly!!!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Netflix! I used the show to explain to our kids how we met, how I was wrong, accepting yourself, forgiveness, and how I found the greatest love of my life. All I can say is well done, because this was me to the T.
The only problem I had/have with Rahim was the way he kind of dismissed Eric’s religious beliefs because it didn’t seem to be something that was realistic to him. And he can have just gone without saying “I’m an atheist “ to the freakin preacher
That part was definitely uncomfortable lol. But I did like his honesty and how despite not believing he didnt have a problem with them believing. He had and expressed a different experience with religion which lead to his current belief system, which is ok too. If someone can say freely and openly that they believe in GOD someone can also say freely and openly that they dont. I think that honesty is what made Eric say that he loved him right after this. Having different beliefs and still supporting I thought it was beautiful after the uncomfortable part haha. I love how they handled that scene.
Joanna it broke mine too for a sec but this isn't some down on luck character. He literally makes life difficult for others by bullying them but then hates that his life is shit. Meanwhile he makes the lives of others shit.
Ana Quintero I felt bad for second but how the hell did it not occur to him that he had no friends cos he's a homophobic bully? In one episode he said "i have feelings" and that was so laughable cos he never considers that others have feelings. He asked Eric how spitting on him felt to drive home his point that Eric shouldn't have spat on him and it just showed how unaware he is cos somehow he's never considered not bullying those weaker than him cos he hates it when his father bullies him. He's such a hypocrite.
When Adam said “What did I do wrong?”, my heart broke for him. He was finally believing that he didn’t mess up in something, but the pesky reality always peeks its head.
I felt bad for Rahim, as he seemed really nice. However, even Anwar could tell that he wasn't the man for Eric, and that he still had feelings for Adam!
@@Lamsus854 i disagree completely, i mean maybe it's cause enemies to lovers is my favourite dynamic and i'm bisexual so i can relate to adam but i just adore them
@@ilyj1hyo I'm also bisexual and I still think Maeve and Otis were way better lol. I mean, Adam and Eric's entire relationship was built on all of the abuse that Eric had suffered at Adam's hands for years. Even when Adam tries to admit his feelings to Eric he's still being extremely cruel to him. It all feels extremely Stockholm syndrome-ish to me. Even though Maeve and Otis haven't technically gotten together, they've always been supportive for each other, and they're just overall way less toxic than Adam and Eric (and have more chemistry I think, too). On a side note, I totally get why you liking the enemies to lovers trope influences your opinion. It's a good trope, but I just have the biggest soft spot for awkward nerdy boy balls deep in the friend zone somehow manages to escape it. I think that one's super underrated
@@Lamsus854 that's so so valid (and i completely agree you say about that being underrated because you are totally right) and i know about the bullying stuff which yeah does make the relationship start of being v toxic but i think the character development of adam and him trying to become a better person for eric is amazing and so so adorable :,) but i 100% understand why you'd prefer maeve n otis and i'm glad we can respect each other's opinions :)
While I'm pleased that Adam became a better person over Season 2, and expressed remorse over how badly he treated everyone, it's a little tough to believe that Eric would forgive him and start dating him so quickly. As Otis pointed out, Adam made Eric's life a living hell for YEARS, and sends an iffy message of dating your former bully. Still, I suppose that you can't help who you fall for. 💘👬
@@yim.o5082 I guess that's what they're trying to aim at Many people do experience Stockholm's syndrome...maybe the fact that Rahim says "be careful he may be able to hold your hand but not catch it" is actually a hint of it 🤷♀️
Yeah I agree I’d have preferred if they waited for this a bit longer and maybe got together in midseason 3 or something like that. So then Eric could have seen that rahim really doesn’t fit together with him and they could have broken up before adam and Eric got together.
I agree to some extent, but it's important to remember that Eric is a very forgiving character and is also aware of how terrible Adam is treated by his dad.
I wish I noticed it myself because before I even watched the show, the detention scene came up in my recommended for some reason. So I already knew from the beginning. Screw you RUclips algorithm
The hand holding was a resolution to the final episode of season 1. When Adam reaches out so his hand is near Eric, he wants Eric to hold it. Eric doesn’t. Later, Eric doesn’t let him hold his hand, saying “Rahim can hold my hand”. He finally lets him hold his hand when he realizes that he loves him.
Did anyone notice that when Eric‘s mom was telling him that Rahim was not giving him that sparkle that the song mystery of love played from the movie Call me by your name
Unpopular opinion...I didn’t really like Rahim. He was pretty condescending, especially when he went to church with Eric’s family. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or not, talking about someone’s beliefs like they are fairytales is super rude. He always acted like he knew everything and I’m glad that Eric dumped Rahim.
It is super rude that religion forced Rahim's family to CHANGE COUNTRIES, if that had happened to you I bet you wouldn't be a big fan of religions. Also he didn't even say anything insulting about Eric's belief, he just asked if he actually believed, then he didn't say anything else about it. How was he condescending exactly?
Me too!! Plus maeve character is too unrelatable. A teenage, living alone, addicts mom, yet she turned out healthy, smart, can afford books, clothes, makeup? From where? Are foods and cigarettes free in the UK??? I know the show meant for teenagers, it doesn't have to be totally realistic. but the portrait of maeve situation is just not making any sense at all, makes me ignoring her character all together.
@@muhammadzainulabideen3705 you do realise there are masculine gay men like Adam in real life right. Gay people don't all look like one type of person.
Also adam father he was so lonely and hurt 💔 I feel sad for him basically in this season lots of heart broken character ruby, Eric, Jackson, amies boyfriend , Adam father
@@shivanipardeshi3114 Eric didn’t look that heart broken he was literally laying on his bed with gold makeup on and laughing after he ended it with Adam, Adam was the one who had his heart broken.
Aimie said in S1E1 that Adam is really sweet when nobody‘s watching. So i think Eric got it that Adam is a different person than who he wanted to seem to be. Adam needs a real family. Just look how he was happy when Eric‘s mother said he was brave, the word he never got fromhis father.
@@themuffinman1537 yeah you don’t know if they did that while they were still figuring it out, or thought they were straight, not everyone is the same yk
I love Eric's mum because she knew from day 1 that Rahim wasn't right but as soon as she met Adam, he was welcomed by everyone, including Eric's sister, and was straight away invited over for dinner sometime. It shows how people in your life should make you happy and be your true self but sometimes you might need just a bit of guidance to find it.
Once again, a series made me like side characters a lot more than the main character :D Of course I like Otis and Meaves storyline but... Im just so much more interested in Adams and Erics relationship and how it will go. Same for the development of Aimee, Ola, Dr. Jean and Jackson. Cant wait for season 3 :D
11:27 Adam's smile here just melts my heart. He looks legitimately happy for the first time in a very long time. He looks seen, accepted, and appreciated. Such an awesome moment.
Eric's mom was right and I honestly don't really like Rahim. I mean he treats Eric amazingly and all but he always felt one note to me. I just fell like they didn't really flesh him out or put anything to his personality. He's confident, likes books, and likes Eric, but that's it. He doesn't connect w/ Eric that well and like his mom said, he doesn't make him sparkle. I'm glad Rahim was able to make Eric realize how he should be treated in a relationship but I felt that the writers just used him as a tool and then threw him away. And I know Eric and Adam have a really toxic relationship but I hope that Adam can get to a state like Rahim and Eric where he is more confident and shows his feeling more openly (like this season). Although Adam has been toxic, I felt that he really drew out all sorts of emotions from Eric unlike Rahim. Adam can make him laugh super hard, but can also make him cry and I feel like that shows how much they are compatible? Like I feel like the closer you get with someone, the more emotions they can draw from you and Rahim was never able to make Eric feel a whole lot of any emotion at all. (Not saying that Adam should always make him cry. Of course he should for the most part make Eric laugh and be happy, but it shows how much you care for someone if they can either make your extremely happy or sad). He couldn't make him laugh or cry just felt a bit awkward and like Eric was trying to be someone he wasnt, but with Adam he didn't put on a facade. They were just raw w/ each other. I hope Adam continues to grow and they grow to understand each other more. In conclusion, I hope they don't just throw Rahim away cuz I really felt like he was a tool to push the narrative, and I hope next season they flesh out Rahim more like they did w/ Adam. Then maybe I would like Rahim as a character more. And I really really loved Adam's character development though season 2 where he stops ignoring how he bullied Eric and how he opened up to a new friend while also finding himself and letting Eric know that he knows he hurt Eric. It's great that he acknowledged that and I hope they can move forward and continue to acknowledge and discuss it more in season 3.
I feel like I ship them because what they had was real, not just physical attraction, they understand each other in other ways, while we can't completely agree with Eric for forgiving Adam so fast, I hope in the 3rd season we get to see more redemption from Adam but also more cute scenes between them showing the world their love pls
When Eric's mom said "You're kinda like a different person when you're around him. Like you're trying to be something that you're not" That is like a punch in the face for me cos I'd been like that in my past relationship
I really don’t know how I feel about their relationship. On one hand, people change and Adam has gone through a lot of character development. I’m also all for forgiveness and all that. However the whole bully to relationship can be really toxic and can have some weird power dynamics.
You have no idea how moved I was when Adam met Eric's family. It's like the first time he being appreciated so much and people actually see him as human being.
NETFLIX, I just want to thank you for making Adam as Bisexual representation from LGBT community.. that's all.. And Adam-Eric relationship is the only reason i watched this series... , 🤗😊
@@gwenythice7230 yes.. thank you .. i'm was in Adam shoes.. No.. still in Adam shoes.. I'm not a bully like Adam was but.. always confused by my male friends because they always talks about girls, and i always like, what a about boys.. and now i realized that i always be Bi.. i haven't come out either, not safe for me in my country here come out as LGBT... 😊
@@raviasmara I wish you the best!! It's sad that your country won't accept it right now but staying safe is important! Hopefully you can be your complete self in private, and I hope you are happy and content whether you are single or with whomever decide to be with!
i really feel bad for adam, he’s got internalized homophobia, a father who he’s scared of, and the only time he’s truly happy is when he’s with eric. everybody deserves second chances and everybody deserves to be happy. Adam’s character development is one of the best thing in this show. i just hope he’ll grow to like and love himself more in s3. as for eric and adam i have this feeling that eric will break adam’s heart rather than the other way around. i hope they don’t do that. we don’t need further toxicity from their relationship. netflix im telling you instead of going in that direction you should just go with Malec from shadowhunters direction. build adam and eric’s relationship and go from there
Adam and Eric are by far the best couple on this show. I've shipped them since the start and i think they also have a better chemistry than Otis and Maeve. I really hope authors won't screw them up in season 3. It would be such a waste....
Eric choosing Adam over Rahim is very realistic. Often we have the perfect guy/girl on paper but they can never be like the person that you have that certain chemistry with, it's just life. People get hurt and move on. Adam took a big chance by running on stage to declare his feelings for Eric that shows he has come to terms with his feelings and hopefully they will be a solid couple in s3 and their storyline will revolve around navigating a new relationship...jealousy, sex, family etc but as a United couple. 🤞
I don't feel for Rahim at all. Rahim seems to be living in an another world and was quite blunt when Eric needed him to be more personal/less blunt about his family stuff. Rahim wanted them to be boyfriends like an 5th grader.
ahh the irony of that ending, ' but I'm not sure he can catch you" after how Eric is in season 3. its funny how Otis and Rahim almost warn Eric about Adam but (spoilers) he's that one that fucks its up. he cheats, and I get that it made him feel 'free' but maybe inside of cheating he should of just said that. also funny that both of his relationships end because he cheats. don't get me wrong, I love Eric but thats a very cruel thing to do twice and have no real consequence.
Exactly. He's an asshole. They cover the fact the he's a serial cheater by saying that he yearns for freedom and stuffs. Then why did he chose adam before this, fully knowing that the guy has issues within himself and is not yet secure with being gay? He's so selfish, only thinking of him 'expressing' his gayness without even wanting to wait for adam to be comfortable in his own skin.
@@asmrlowkey5043 Exactly!!! It's not like he isn't free; he lives his sexuality pretty openly... And i know he means like going out, hang out with queer people, feel the solidarity and freedom queer spaces give, but it was a pretty lame excuse to break up with Adam, he didn't even grief his relationship, for crying out loud! Goes to show how little it meant for him :( he lacked patience and empathy for Adam, which it's pretty ironic, knowing he told his mom right after lol. I hope next season maybe Adam gets closer to someone (probably it'll be Rahim; sadly, cause I don't like him lol), and Eric realizes his mistake
@@diegoib8999 I dont want Adam to be with Rahim too, cause then it would be cliche and messy. Like, please, they dont have to be together just because they're gay right? But i have a feeling the writers are gonna mess that up too. Also, i agree with what u said about Eric wanting to be 'free'. It's not like he's being oppressed. He is free to express himself almost everyday. The time where he has to pretend was just when he visits nigeria. And the fact that he said he's not sorry about cheating to Adam, I was livid. Adam had had so much stuff going on with his life and now his boyfriend needs to do him dirty too?
I like it when Adam becomes a complete different person when everytime he's with Eric, he looks more comfortable and genuine. He's has one of the best character developments in the show.
Forreal. Just finished the season. I get it. When you're out and proud it's hard to be with someone who isn't. But Eric could have at least given Adam more time.
I completely understand people calling out the toxic relationship between these two, and how it should not be romanticized. But I think this is what the series wanted to do: have us talk about this, debating if this is normal or not. And I think that this will be a major topic in Season 3 (as a renewal in completely obvious).
1. I think Eric made the right choice, but it's going to be a very complex relationship, because Adam needs to improve on his self-acceptance, and I don't know if Eric is going to be able to handle that while being in a relationship with him. BUT, I still want to see what their story holds. 2. I really want to see what Mr. Groff thinks about all this. They don't exactly have the best father-son relationship, and as he always is thinking about how Adam has to be the "perfect" son, this might be a plot twist for him. 3. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN RAHIM???? I REALLY LIKE YOU, BUT I THINK THAT SOMETIMES YOU SAY STUFF TO PLEASE OTHERS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY. LIKE "OH ERIC NO PRESSURE, TAKE YOUR TIME BECAUSE I'M THE FUCKING BEST BOYFRIEND IN THE WORLD". No but seriously, what does that even mean? Does it mean that Adam is not enough for Eric, or that his process of improvement might be too much for Eric? What does it mean? I need to know and I CAN'T WAIT A WHOLE YEAR FOR THAT NETFLIX. Now that I have finished my ted talk... Remember to love yourself, and love each other
@@gwenythice7230 yeah, and they can use that material in a lot of different ways, not only Adam-Eric couple journey, which is what we all are expecting.
Rahim is saying that Adam may not emotionally be ready to love Eric. As Eric said before "it's very hard to like someone who doesn't like themselves". :)
Hated Eric this season he cheated on Adam and didn’t regret it and he kept pressuring Adam to do stuff which is a crappy thing to do to someone who you supposedly love, I was a bit worried that Eric would go back to rahim but after this I think both adam and rahim are better of without Eric and have started to form a nice friendship together.
Tbh even though I would have preferred for Adam and Eric to get together later so maybe like: Adam apologizes, Eric accepts it, they get along better while Eric sees that rahim and him are really not the perfect fit, they break up and Adam and Eric get together - that would have been perfect (that’s why they shouldn’t have rushed it and made them a couple a bit later, bc for us it seems rushed if you binge the 8 episodes even though it might have been a lot more time in their universe itself) But I don’t understand what rahim meant tbh ?
I'm not sure either, but I think it might refer to how Rahim was very open about their relationship while Adam might not be open for public displays? Again, don't know lol
Cartina Stro thought so too at first but I mean he did overcome one of the most difficult things by just confessing in front of the whole school so that shouldn’t be the biggest problem anymore or am I wrong? Also we know that he didn’t have problem with the sexual stuff bc we saw what he did in season 1
What I understood Rahim to mean by "he can hold your hand but, I'm not sure he can catch you" is Adam is going through a HUGE change. He has to go through a lot of self acceptance, and become comfortable in his skin. While he is doing that Eric, which has been the case thus far, has to be there for him emotionally etc. But who is going to be there for Eric when he needs someone? If all the energy is going towards Adam feeling comfortable and accepting himself, Eric doesn't really have the same support back. If you look through the whole series try to name one thing Adam has done for Eric besides the final scene in the final episode. It's always Eric who is there for Adam. So what Rahim meant is, if you fall [eric], who will be there to catch you? Which is a great question.
I just want to say that Adam is one of my faves in this show. And the actor makes a great job in 2 season. I was crying and laughing for no reason almost every time he was on the screen
THANK YOU!!! I was beginning to think that I was the only one in the world who thinks that this relationship is toxic as hell. I hate Eric's storyline.
this !! i like the chemistry they got in season 2 but adam literally treated eric shit for so many years because oh what he secretly liked him that is still bullshit. i truly believe that is why eric wasn’t that confident before because of his abuse he only got to shine a little later. i like how adam changed for eric (sort of) but i hope in season 3 they should be building a bond first before getting into a possible relationship because all their “bond” was built from bullying and abuse that led to sexual tension and realizations. i was actually sad for a moment i almost thought adam used eric for sexual pleasure and threatened him also after but season 2 proved me wrong to show he actually cares
@Havumaa Havuinen you're right these do happen in real life but there are a lot that ships this kind of abusive relationship which is not cute. if we normalize this "bully them because i secretly love them" thing it will most likely not be a mutual feeling for the one being bullied. teasing is fine but being physically abusive, calling them a name they don't like, making them feel insecure, scared and threatened is not it.
They're my favorite ship! There's still a lot of growing and developing to do with them and that's basically what makes me excited. I have no idea what to expect!
Exactly! Like, people talking about the "catch" line... IT'S BOUND TO BE A ROCKY ROAD, of course. But relationships are not transactions and I truly hope s3 will explore the difficulties of that relationship while still allowing them to rise victorious and together
I loved how Rahim treated Eric and seriously Eric deserved that. But here's the thing, internalized homophobia isn't just a 18 y/o boy feeling weird for liking his classmate. It's a lot harsher and complicated. People who grow up in homophobic household see their parents hating on the Lgbtq community so they naturally fear being a part of it. Even though this doesn't justify all the bullying Adam did, I feel him, and he too, deserves a chance ♡
eric’s parents are so underrated. they are so lovely and you can tell they are so accepting and proud of eric and just want the best for him.
Such good and caring parents. When his mom said everyone loves you,it was so powerful. Also his dad constantly concerned about his son's safety,it all melt my heart. And it's understandable why they had difficulty to accept their son as a gay. As Eric's dad said,they had difficulty settling down in a foreign country,where they knew no one. Also they were black,so he was well aware of the minority stuff too. So it's normal to have doubts
But I am so glad they were progressive and they not only accepted their son,but also encouraged him to love himself and be proud of who he was.
I wish everyone has that kind of supportive parents.
When Eric’s mom said “he doesn’t make you sparkle” I cried. And when Eric’s dad said “you are my brave son” I passed away. 🥺😪❤️

I really love what they’ve done with Adams character. It’s a very realistic change. Not super drastic like others would be, but you see subtle changes that signify his growth as a person. It makes him more likable.
@Matt Morris what
Hated him from episode one, but when he hugged Ola I kinda started to like him. What a great actor!
I loved it when Ola said her and Adam were friends and Adams reaction just warmed my heart it just shows how alone he was
Sorry but a bully bullying someone for being gay, making their life hell, then suddenly coming out as gay and trying to get with the victim (who just so happens to suddenly like him too). No, no that’s not realistic at all. Especially when the victim already had a boyfriend. Good character growth though
@@ohnono69 There are actually a lot of closeted gay teenagers or even adults who suffer from the same struggle. Hating who they are, envying those who can be themselves unapologetically and chose violence to release their anger.
2:03 "I hATE you."
8:23 "I"m scared."
8:48 "I feel like everyone hates me."
Just. Wow, Adam is hating himself so much that it hurts. He's such a powerful character and he grew up so much.
Damn let him and Eric be happy Netflix.
How about no he bullied him for 4 years people never change. It's weak people like u are the ones who gets hurt over and over again. And u say that he's sorry you say everyone I sorry how about don't do anything to be sorry about ?

@@PhsycoEarthling while its true, in many abusive relationships, the abused will feed the need to stay together and the abuser doesn't change; in this case adam does show true signs of change and self acceptance and goes through a major character arc

I really really hope adam doesn’t hurt eric anymore, and i really hope what rahim said at the end isn’t foreshadowing..I just want adam and eric to be happy y’all
I am sure in some form or another what Rahim forewarned will play out and that will probably be a huge arc for Adam and Eric, especially Eric to figure out whether or not he did really make the right choice being with Adam after all he'd done in the past. But I personally am super excited to see them play with that because I think it would be a good thing for those in a similar situation to be able to relate and get perspective. There's a lot that can be done with it.
He will hurt him
I hope Adam will change
It’s also really sweet now how he likes dogs
All I know is that I will stop watching the show if the writers ruin their relationship. Fuck that.
I think the character of Adam is wonderfully nuanced. The two actors are wonderful. It's messy and we may not agree with Eric forgiving Adam so quickly but it happens in real life.
Robert Finlay yes. Stockholm syndrome.
Stacee J possible 😂 I think cause they only have 8 episodes they show the highlights of their relationship.
I was hoping for Eric to forgive him
I know Adam actions were terrible but he had so much anger and didn't know how to handle it so did it in the worst possible way but he's a good boy.
Ginette Parada being abused or angry is not an excuse to pick on those weaker than you. He hated being bullied by his dad but bullied those weaker than him. He's not a good boy he could be but right now, he's not. You won't think a 16 year old who bullies your own child and others violently and robs them of their food and money for 4 years is a good kid. Neither is Adam.
I have had sex with a person at night who used to bully me in the school during the day. But he used to be a complete different person when I was alone with him. It was like 10 years ago. Now I have grown adult. But its crazy to think how stupid I was.
I really liked how Otis called out adam’s toxic behavior. I feel like as queer people the whole bully to lover thing is kind of a fantasy but it’s important to see abuse where it lies.
that scene was really nice but otis is hypocritical , he complains to eric that his relationship isn’t okay when he constantly treats maeve like shit
@@sophie7826 he didn't constantly bully Maeve for years though
It’s a fantasy until it happens. It happened to me in high school with this skater... he was nowhere near insufferable as Adam was but he treated me like shit until it was on his terms away from ppl then he was so incredibly sweet and tender. He’d put his arms around me and I felt safe but truth is he took out his anger about his own issues on me. I wanted him to be happy but that had to end
@@sophie7826 Otis isn’t cruel to Maeve everything he said to Maeve was true. She uses him all the time and constantly expects him to put his problems on the back burner for her

booboobrinn 100%, like i feel for him, it must be tough trying to deal with that
I love Rahim and felt bad for him but Eric's mom was right
yes!!! i feel the exact same way. she's right but i still feel so bad for rahim
Agreed. Eric and Rahim just dont match at all.
Rahim needs more personality growth in season 3. I hope we will see him again.
Indeed, Rahim was a sweet guy, but he just wasn't Adam, or really right for Eric. I hope that he'll find another guy if he appears in Season 3!👬💘🌈
just because Rahim was an atheist, I think that was the reason actually
“Has Eric made the right choice?” BROOOO let him be happy idc with who I just want him to be happy.
I hate that they put that there.
You want Eric to be happy, you won't want him with the person who abused him for 4 years and who still bullies other people.
Also relationships aren’t like a game where there’s a “best” option
no I think that might be a hint that Rahim is gonna do something to take back revenge...
Stacee J who has he bullied since coming back in S2? Still bullies people?
“you stopped coming to the window”
“what did i do wrong?”
ADAM MY POOR SWEET BABY BOY
He loved him! 😭
It was so heartbreaking. He was so confused with himself and so unfamiliar with what he feels. He was all alone, poor guy
I love him so much!
It was adorable and sad 😭
I love him so much after watching SE season 1+2 . now my phone wallpaper,room poster, gallery and my life full of him 😭
The problem with Rahim was that he was one dimensional character. Nothing other than being the the gay transfer student.
Well said Luiz
Yesaah and also like they didnt have much chemistry
I know!!! People were saying it was problematic to ship eric with adam over rahim when eric and Adam have history and Rahim had literally no personality like obviously people don't care for that

I Think Adam really needs this relationship. He has no friends, he lost his girlfriend who he really cared for( no hate on Aimee she is great ) and dont even get me started on his father. The relationship most likely will have ups and downs, with Adam and his self hate, but i Think that sins Eric went through the same, he is just the right person to help
Edit: season 3. No spoilers please. Just season 3
I think both he and his mom will be happier without Principal groff.
@SAHRA OSMAN Adam does have one friend by the end of the show, Ola. She’s not really in here though. And he was working on his self confidence before the end too. I agree with you and hope that no more shit happens to Adam next season 💀 he can’t catch a break
I don't watch the show (but i think i would) but what will happen to Rahim? That's kind of tragic...i mean props to Eric for choosing the guy he wants but if i was in Rahim's position and i had to witness that in person...damn it'd hurt me so bad 💀
@@hotmessology3757
Yes i also feel sorry for him, but that stuff habens sometimes, and i know i would rather my partner broke up with me, then staying in a relationship i knew They wouldnt be happy in. Then i could at least move on, and fine someone that does like me.
Needing a relationship isn't healthy.
Off topic but Otis and Eric has such cute friendship and I am happy that it shows that a straight guy can be bestfriend with a gay guy

I'm glad that Adam is back and that they're together, because i ship them but at the same time a part of me knows that Adam was a bad person to everyone, especially Eric, but now he's trying to be better. Adam is a complicated character and things never go his way, so I'm glad that now he has an amazing friend like Ola and a badass boyfriend like Eric. Their quemistry is undeniable.
I feel the exact same way. While I DO like Eric and Adam together, and admire how Adam redeemed himself, and his friendship with Ola, it seemed that Eric forgave him a little TOO easily. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for these guys in a possible third series!💘👬🌈

well
This defines me and my partner! I'm sad to say I was a bully when I was younger and I used to bully this very open queeny gay kid in our school. We knew each other since elementary and to this day he's my partner 15 + years. I realized who I was and I apologized and told him that I think I liked him and he forgave me. He's the greatest love of my life! This show did immense justice to kids like me who where too young and dumb to know who we were at the time! As a former recluse sexuality wise, and now I'm proud openly gay man, sex education did this storyline perfectly!!!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Netflix! I used the show to explain to our kids how we met, how I was wrong, accepting yourself, forgiveness, and how I found the greatest love of my life. All I can say is well done, because this was me to the T.
Nice to hear your story. Stay happy
Wow! You guys seem perfect!
Forgiveness is love ❤️
Wow, that's a very touching story. I wish you all the best, and being happy forever.✨🕊
oh great! now your partner can be reminded of their trauma every day! what could possibly go wrong!?
The only problem I had/have with Rahim was the way he kind of dismissed Eric’s religious beliefs because it didn’t seem to be something that was realistic to him. And he can have just gone without saying “I’m an atheist “ to the freakin preacher
That part was definitely uncomfortable lol. But I did like his honesty and how despite not believing he didnt have a problem with them believing. He had and expressed a different experience with religion which lead to his current belief system, which is ok too. If someone can say freely and openly that they believe in GOD someone can also say freely and openly that they dont. I think that honesty is what made Eric say that he loved him right after this. Having different beliefs and still supporting I thought it was beautiful after the uncomfortable part haha. I love how they handled that scene.
F G true it did have truth in it. And Rahim’s full honesty was great even in that situation
Rahim is very blunt though. Him not clarifying that to the preacher would have been out of character tbh
Actually i dated a french guy and they are really open like that. They say who they and what they are about. His character felt really real to me

Ana Quintero I felt bad for second but how the hell did it not occur to him that he had no friends cos he's a homophobic bully? In one episode he said "i have feelings" and that was so laughable cos he never considers that others have feelings. He asked Eric how spitting on him felt to drive home his point that Eric shouldn't have spat on him and it just showed how unaware he is cos somehow he's never considered not bullying those weaker than him cos he hates it when his father bullies him. He's such a hypocrite.
honestly don’t understand how they kept a straight face while doing the curlywurly scene💀
They didn't, at least not the first time. You should check out the bloopers, i died laughing at that scene.
When Adam said “What did I do wrong?”, my heart broke for him. He was finally believing that he didn’t mess up in something, but the pesky reality always peeks its head.

Are you kidding??? Maeve and Otis relationship is way better than theirs
@@Lamsus854 i disagree completely, i mean maybe it's cause enemies to lovers is my favourite dynamic and i'm bisexual so i can relate to adam but i just adore them
@@ilyj1hyo I'm also bisexual and I still think Maeve and Otis were way better lol. I mean, Adam and Eric's entire relationship was built on all of the abuse that Eric had suffered at Adam's hands for years. Even when Adam tries to admit his feelings to Eric he's still being extremely cruel to him. It all feels extremely Stockholm syndrome-ish to me.
Even though Maeve and Otis haven't technically gotten together, they've always been supportive for each other, and they're just overall way less toxic than Adam and Eric (and have more chemistry I think, too).
On a side note, I totally get why you liking the enemies to lovers trope influences your opinion. It's a good trope, but I just have the biggest soft spot for awkward nerdy boy balls deep in the friend zone somehow manages to escape it. I think that one's super underrated
@@Lamsus854 that's so so valid (and i completely agree you say about that being underrated because you are totally right) and i know about the bullying stuff which yeah does make the relationship start of being v toxic but i think the character development of adam and him trying to become a better person for eric is amazing and so so adorable :,) but i 100% understand why you'd prefer maeve n otis and i'm glad we can respect each other's opinions :)
While I'm pleased that Adam became a better person over Season 2, and expressed remorse over how badly he treated everyone, it's a little tough to believe that Eric would forgive him and start dating him so quickly.
As Otis pointed out, Adam made Eric's life a living hell for YEARS, and sends an iffy message of dating your former bully. Still, I suppose that you can't help who you fall for. 💘👬
Stockholm syndrome right there
Honestly same... I still feel some typa way about their relationship... Oh welp
@@yim.o5082 I guess that's what they're trying to aim at
Many people do experience Stockholm's syndrome...maybe the fact that Rahim says "be careful he may be able to hold your hand but not catch it" is actually a hint of it 🤷♀️
Yeah I agree I’d have preferred if they waited for this a bit longer and maybe got together in midseason 3 or something like that. So then Eric could have seen that rahim really doesn’t fit together with him and they could have broken up before adam and Eric got together.
I agree to some extent, but it's important to remember that Eric is a very forgiving character and is also aware of how terrible Adam is treated by his dad.
Right away when we met Adam he gave off the most chaotic bi energy it's been such a joy following these amazing characters trhu the show.
Ikr!!! I was always suspecting something was going on with him, every bullying scene I was like "are they going to kiss yet???"
@Russell Hall BOY I SWEARRRR
I thought was only me who noticed that, from his first encounter with Eric in season one. I was like he likes him right away
I wish I noticed it myself because before I even watched the show, the detention scene came up in my recommended for some reason. So I already knew from the beginning. Screw you RUclips algorithm
"This is about you hating yourself that you literally fall for somebody who treats you like shit." Ouch. Truth slap. I can totally relate 😔
I'm really proud of Adam asking Eric to hold his hand such a big step and display of affection!!
The hand holding was a resolution to the final episode of season 1. When Adam reaches out so his hand is near Eric, he wants Eric to hold it. Eric doesn’t. Later, Eric doesn’t let him hold his hand, saying “Rahim can hold my hand”. He finally lets him hold his hand when he realizes that he loves him.
Did anyone notice that when Eric‘s mom was telling him that Rahim was not giving him that sparkle that the song mystery of love played from the movie Call me by your name
sky blue Yes! 😭
I cried because of that damn song! It just hits the CMBYN feelings -.-
It was also played when otis's mom is heart broken
ashante yes and i hated itttt it’s élio and oliver’s songggg
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED I KID YOU NOT I STARTED CRYING THIS WAS JUST GOSHH
Unpopular opinion...I didn’t really like Rahim. He was pretty condescending, especially when he went to church with Eric’s family. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or not, talking about someone’s beliefs like they are fairytales is super rude. He always acted like he knew everything and I’m glad that Eric dumped Rahim.
Yeah i didn't like him either and that church scene just did it for me. I'm not religious at all but i thought he was disrespectful.
he didn't deserve what happened to him, but yeah i didn't like him because of the church thing. i'm an atheist too but that was just disrespectful.
Same! And they didnt havemuch uncommon tbh
And we all knows how much the church actually means to Eric
It is super rude that religion forced Rahim's family to CHANGE COUNTRIES, if that had happened to you I bet you wouldn't be a big fan of religions.
Also he didn't even say anything insulting about Eric's belief, he just asked if he actually believed, then he didn't say anything else about it. How was he condescending exactly?
I honestly care more about their relationship than otis and maeve
Me too!! Plus maeve character is too unrelatable. A teenage, living alone, addicts mom, yet she turned out healthy, smart, can afford books, clothes, makeup? From where? Are foods and cigarettes free in the UK??? I know the show meant for teenagers, it doesn't have to be totally realistic. but the portrait of maeve situation is just not making any sense at all, makes me ignoring her character all together.

I love Eric's mum because she knew from day 1 that Rahim wasn't right but as soon as she met Adam, he was welcomed by everyone, including Eric's sister, and was straight away invited over for dinner sometime. It shows how people in your life should make you happy and be your true self but sometimes you might need just a bit of guidance to find it.
Most romantic scene in my opinion is in the classroom when Adam and Eric's fingers touch. It's just so powerful.

@@ellamcsmella03 I WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS TOO 😭😭😭 But yk serie and real life is not the same
Once again, a series made me like side characters a lot more than the main character :D Of course I like Otis and Meaves storyline but... Im just so much more interested in Adams and Erics relationship and how it will go. Same for the development of Aimee, Ola, Dr. Jean and Jackson. Cant wait for season 3 :D
the show focuses on so many different people and i love it to me they're all kinda main characters
Same here!
Eric’s mom is amazing bro. She is so kind and so pure at heart it’s crazy
11:27 Adam's smile here just melts my heart. He looks legitimately happy for the first time in a very long time. He looks seen, accepted, and appreciated. Such an awesome moment.
Eric's mom was right and I honestly don't really like Rahim. I mean he treats Eric amazingly and all but he always felt one note to me. I just fell like they didn't really flesh him out or put anything to his personality. He's confident, likes books, and likes Eric, but that's it.
He doesn't connect w/ Eric that well and like his mom said, he doesn't make him sparkle. I'm glad Rahim was able to make Eric realize how he should be treated in a relationship but I felt that the writers just used him as a tool and then threw him away.
And I know Eric and Adam have a really toxic relationship but I hope that Adam can get to a state like Rahim and Eric where he is more confident and shows his feeling more openly (like this season). Although Adam has been toxic, I felt that he really drew out all sorts of emotions from Eric unlike Rahim. Adam can make him laugh super hard, but can also make him cry and I feel like that shows how much they are compatible? Like I feel like the closer you get with someone, the more emotions they can draw from you and Rahim was never able to make Eric feel a whole lot of any emotion at all. (Not saying that Adam should always make him cry. Of course he should for the most part make Eric laugh and be happy, but it shows how much you care for someone if they can either make your extremely happy or sad). He couldn't make him laugh or cry just felt a bit awkward and like Eric was trying to be someone he wasnt, but with Adam he didn't put on a facade. They were just raw w/ each other. I hope Adam continues to grow and they grow to understand each other more.
In conclusion, I hope they don't just throw Rahim away cuz I really felt like he was a tool to push the narrative, and I hope next season they flesh out Rahim more like they did w/ Adam. Then maybe I would like Rahim as a character more. And I really really loved Adam's character development though season 2 where he stops ignoring how he bullied Eric and how he opened up to a new friend while also finding himself and letting Eric know that he knows he hurt Eric. It's great that he acknowledged that and I hope they can move forward and continue to acknowledge and discuss it more in season 3.
He doesn't make you sparkle.❤️
:(
His mum is the best
I feel like I ship them because what they had was real, not just physical attraction, they understand each other in other ways, while we can't completely agree with Eric for forgiving Adam so fast, I hope in the 3rd season we get to see more redemption from Adam but also more cute scenes between them showing the world their love pls
When Eric's mom said "You're kinda like a different person when you're around him. Like you're trying to be something that you're not"
That is like a punch in the face for me cos I'd been like that in my past relationship
I really don’t know how I feel about their relationship. On one hand, people change and Adam has gone through a lot of character development. I’m also all for forgiveness and all that. However the whole bully to relationship can be really toxic and can have some weird power dynamics.
You have no idea how moved I was when Adam met Eric's family. It's like the first time he being appreciated so much and people actually see him as human being.
I was screaming when they played “Mystery of Love”
And crying
Latisha Vivian episode?

LMAO ME
NETFLIX, I just want to thank you for making Adam as Bisexual representation from LGBT community.. that's all..
And Adam-Eric relationship is the only reason i watched this series... , 🤗😊
Ravi Asmara i was pleasantly surprised that he came out as bi 👍
@@gwenythice7230 yes.. thank you .. i'm was in Adam shoes..
No.. still in Adam shoes..
I'm not a bully like Adam was but.. always confused by my male friends because they always talks about girls, and i always like, what a about boys.. and now i realized that i always be Bi.. i haven't come out either, not safe for me in my country here come out as LGBT... 😊
@@raviasmara I wish you the best!! It's sad that your country won't accept it right now but staying safe is important! Hopefully you can be your complete self in private, and I hope you are happy and content whether you are single or with whomever decide to be with!
@@gwenythice7230 thank you very much... I need a people like you in my life... Sending you thousand virtual hugs. 🤗🤗

A BETTER LOVE STORY THAN ROMEO AND JULIET
Agreed, only at least Eric and Adam had a happy ending!😸👬💘
Y'all need help
How the fuck are you gonna compare that to them. You realize they died for eachother right. You gay people are so delusional
Shirbert Fandom why are you watching this if you’re homophobic?
Shirbert Fandom is everything okay at home?
i really feel bad for adam, he’s got internalized homophobia, a father who he’s scared of, and the only time he’s truly happy is when he’s with eric. everybody deserves second chances and everybody deserves to be happy. Adam’s character development is one of the best thing in this show. i just hope he’ll grow to like and love himself more in s3. as for eric and adam i have this feeling that eric will break adam’s heart rather than the other way around. i hope they don’t do that. we don’t need further toxicity from their relationship. netflix im telling you instead of going in that direction you should just go with Malec from shadowhunters direction. build adam and eric’s relationship and go from there
All relationships should be modeled off of Malec
I bet Netflix read your comment and said "you know what? imma do this sh*t"
'Maybe I'm learning from my brave son' this was so beautiful
I haven't watched this but I loved the line *"He doesn't make you sparkle"*
You’re missing it man!!! It’s a very good show 🤗
Aw yea
The title says "the story so far" therefore this might mean they gonna announce s3 soon
YEETK1NG they already have a couple days ago
Who Me? Huh??? Announced already???
Adam and Eric are by far the best couple on this show. I've shipped them since the start and i think they also have a better chemistry than Otis and Maeve. I really hope authors won't screw them up in season 3. It would be such a waste....
Eric choosing Adam over Rahim is very realistic. Often we have the perfect guy/girl on paper but they can never be like the person that you have that certain chemistry with, it's just life. People get hurt and move on. Adam took a big chance by running on stage to declare his feelings for Eric that shows he has come to terms with his feelings and hopefully they will be a solid couple in s3 and their storyline will revolve around navigating a new relationship...jealousy, sex, family etc but as a United couple. 🤞
On a side note, this show made me really want to try smashing shit lmao.
I don't feel for Rahim at all. Rahim seems to be living in an another world and was quite blunt when Eric needed him to be more personal/less blunt about his family stuff. Rahim wanted them to be boyfriends like an 5th grader.
I do feel for him he was a good person
@@billiejean685 he is a good person. Beautifully honest. I really liked Rahim.
Adam is my baby...I just want to protect him 😭
YESS
Omg man same
"It is hard to like someone who doesn't like themselves". Wow
ahh the irony of that ending, ' but I'm not sure he can catch you" after how Eric is in season 3. its funny how Otis and Rahim almost warn Eric about Adam but (spoilers) he's that one that fucks its up. he cheats, and I get that it made him feel 'free' but maybe inside of cheating he should of just said that. also funny that both of his relationships end because he cheats. don't get me wrong, I love Eric but thats a very cruel thing to do twice and have no real consequence.
I'm like what the hell he wants while he has some naive and great BF like adam. Totally spoiled!!!
Ikr wtf
Exactly. He's an asshole. They cover the fact the he's a serial cheater by saying that he yearns for freedom and stuffs. Then why did he chose adam before this, fully knowing that the guy has issues within himself and is not yet secure with being gay? He's so selfish, only thinking of him 'expressing' his gayness without even wanting to wait for adam to be comfortable in his own skin.
@@asmrlowkey5043 Exactly!!! It's not like he isn't free; he lives his sexuality pretty openly... And i know he means like going out, hang out with queer people, feel the solidarity and freedom queer spaces give, but it was a pretty lame excuse to break up with Adam, he didn't even grief his relationship, for crying out loud! Goes to show how little it meant for him :( he lacked patience and empathy for Adam, which it's pretty ironic, knowing he told his mom right after lol. I hope next season maybe Adam gets closer to someone (probably it'll be Rahim; sadly, cause I don't like him lol), and Eric realizes his mistake
@@diegoib8999 I dont want Adam to be with Rahim too, cause then it would be cliche and messy. Like, please, they dont have to be together just because they're gay right? But i have a feeling the writers are gonna mess that up too. Also, i agree with what u said about Eric wanting to be 'free'. It's not like he's being oppressed. He is free to express himself almost everyday. The time where he has to pretend was just when he visits nigeria. And the fact that he said he's not sorry about cheating to Adam, I was livid. Adam had had so much stuff going on with his life and now his boyfriend needs to do him dirty too?
I like it when Adam becomes a complete different person when everytime he's with Eric, he looks more comfortable and genuine. He's has one of the best character developments in the show.
I felt bad when Adam said "what did I do wrong"
I'm torn too! One on hand, Rahim is everything! But also, how can you not fall for Adam? Help!
Jeebs Unabia that’s the whole point 😂😂 that’s exactly how Eric felt
So hard to not fall for Adam
I am vulnerable to this kind of guy. Fierce yet fragile
Hey I need to watch this again ,I didn't see this omg !
I feel bad Rahim got his heart broken, he was a nice person.
"are you gonna do it now? or later? 'cause im ready when you are." WHAT A KING
i would never imagine Erick would be the one that would FUCK EVERYTHING UP aaaaaaaaaa i’m not ok
Who you telling LIKE OMGGG everything was going so goddtt
Forreal. Just finished the season. I get it. When you're out and proud it's hard to be with someone who isn't. But Eric could have at least given Adam more time.
no one:
absolutly no one:
not even a single soul:
Eric: " *BUOIIII* "
I completely understand people calling out the toxic relationship between these two, and how it should not be romanticized. But I think this is what the series wanted to do: have us talk about this, debating if this is normal or not. And I think that this will be a major topic in Season 3 (as a renewal in completely obvious).
1. I think Eric made the right choice, but it's going to be a very complex relationship, because Adam needs to improve on his self-acceptance, and I don't know if Eric is going to be able to handle that while being in a relationship with him. BUT, I still want to see what their story holds.
2. I really want to see what Mr. Groff thinks about all this. They don't exactly have the best father-son relationship, and as he always is thinking about how Adam has to be the "perfect" son, this might be a plot twist for him.
3. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN RAHIM???? I REALLY LIKE YOU, BUT I THINK THAT SOMETIMES YOU SAY STUFF TO PLEASE OTHERS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY. LIKE "OH ERIC NO PRESSURE, TAKE YOUR TIME BECAUSE I'M THE FUCKING BEST BOYFRIEND IN THE WORLD". No but seriously, what does that even mean? Does it mean that Adam is not enough for Eric, or that his process of improvement might be too much for Eric? What does it mean? I need to know and I CAN'T WAIT A WHOLE YEAR FOR THAT NETFLIX.
Now that I have finished my ted talk... Remember to love yourself, and love each other
Adam come out as Bi and I bet they are going make choose Eric or some woman
Wayne Spotted Elk oh hell I sure hope not😂 they have a lot of material they can work on as it is
@@gwenythice7230 yeah, and they can use that material in a lot of different ways, not only Adam-Eric couple journey, which is what we all are expecting.
Rahim is saying that Adam may not emotionally be ready to love Eric. As Eric said before "it's very hard to like someone who doesn't like themselves". :)
Hated Eric this season he cheated on Adam and didn’t regret it and he kept pressuring Adam to do stuff which is a crappy thing to do to someone who you supposedly love, I was a bit worried that Eric would go back to rahim but after this I think both adam and rahim are better of without Eric and have started to form a nice friendship together.
I hope Adam and Rahim does NOT end up together. I just see nothing between them, but I definitely see a very close friendship between them
When adam sayd "i'm scared"
Bro i was feeling bad :(
🥺🥺🥺
Tbh even though I would have preferred for Adam and Eric to get together later so maybe like: Adam apologizes, Eric accepts it, they get along better while Eric sees that rahim and him are really not the perfect fit, they break up and Adam and Eric get together - that would have been perfect (that’s why they shouldn’t have rushed it and made them a couple a bit later, bc for us it seems rushed if you binge the 8 episodes even though it might have been a lot more time in their universe itself)
But I don’t understand what rahim meant tbh ?
I'm not sure either, but I think it might refer to how Rahim was very open about their relationship while Adam might not be open for public displays? Again, don't know lol
Cartina Stro thought so too at first but I mean he did overcome one of the most difficult things by just confessing in front of the whole school so that shouldn’t be the biggest problem anymore or am I wrong? Also we know that he didn’t have problem with the sexual stuff bc we saw what he did in season 1
What I understood Rahim to mean by "he can hold your hand but, I'm not sure he can catch you" is Adam is going through a HUGE change. He has to go through a lot of self acceptance, and become comfortable in his skin. While he is doing that Eric, which has been the case thus far, has to be there for him emotionally etc. But who is going to be there for Eric when he needs someone? If all the energy is going towards Adam feeling comfortable and accepting himself, Eric doesn't really have the same support back. If you look through the whole series try to name one thing Adam has done for Eric besides the final scene in the final episode. It's always Eric who is there for Adam. So what Rahim meant is, if you fall [eric], who will be there to catch you? Which is a great question.
@@fg4462 That sounds really smart actually
8:23 I really wanted to give Adam a hug. : (
Me too
I just want to say that Adam is one of my faves in this show. And the actor makes a great job in 2 season. I was crying and laughing for no reason almost every time he was on the screen
"Come on man not my curly wearly"
Never take a man's curly wearly
I’m really not about the bully to boyfriend trope 🙄
“How did you guys meet?”
“Oh well funny story he once threatened to kill me 🥴”
THANK YOU!!! I was beginning to think that I was the only one in the world who thinks that this relationship is toxic as hell. I hate Eric's storyline.
@@mgeek1 bruh we havent seen them in a relationship calm down,we’ll see in season 3
this !! i like the chemistry they got in season 2 but adam literally treated eric shit for so many years because oh what he secretly liked him that is still bullshit. i truly believe that is why eric wasn’t that confident before because of his abuse he only got to shine a little later. i like how adam changed for eric (sort of) but i hope in season 3 they should be building a bond first before getting into a possible relationship because all their “bond” was built from bullying and abuse that led to sexual tension and realizations. i was actually sad for a moment i almost thought adam used eric for sexual pleasure and threatened him also after but season 2 proved me wrong to show he actually cares
@Havumaa Havuinen you're right these do happen in real life but there are a lot that ships this kind of abusive relationship which is not cute. if we normalize this "bully them because i secretly love them" thing it will most likely not be a mutual feeling for the one being bullied. teasing is fine but being physically abusive, calling them a name they don't like, making them feel insecure, scared and threatened is not it.
We have to wait 1 more year for S3 😭
Why ????
I know, the major drawback of watching this show all in one day is that now we'll have no new content until 2021!😥
Art taketh time bro
Trina Q prolly even 2022
Wait,WHAAT??
I swear if covid-19 delays shooting for Sex Education I am GONNA CRY
" Be careful. He can hold your hand, but i'm not sure he can catch you. " omg😍😭
They're my favorite ship! There's still a lot of growing and developing to do with them and that's basically what makes me excited. I have no idea what to expect!
Exactly! Like, people talking about the "catch" line... IT'S BOUND TO BE A ROCKY ROAD, of course. But relationships are not transactions and I truly hope s3 will explore the difficulties of that relationship while still allowing them to rise victorious and together
I loved how Rahim treated Eric and seriously Eric deserved that. But here's the thing, internalized homophobia isn't just a 18 y/o boy feeling weird for liking his classmate. It's a lot harsher and complicated. People who grow up in homophobic household see their parents hating on the Lgbtq community so they naturally fear being a part of it. Even though this doesn't justify all the bullying Adam did, I feel him, and he too, deserves a chance ♡
"im scared,and i think im bisexual."
