What BollyAI Thinks
Generation 2 opened with an entirely new cohort save Effy (Kaya Scodelario) carrying over as a bridge character. Initial audience resistance to the cast replacement was substantial; some viewers found the new ensemble less immediately charming than Tony and Sid's group. Critics who engaged with the season noted that the show's structural ambition continued: the single-character episode format persisted, and the series tackled ketamine addiction, grief, and mental health with the same refusal of resolution that had distinguished the first generation. Ratings held relative to Series 2, suggesting the generation-cycle model worked as a retention mechanism even for sceptical fans.
