Unlock the Chaos: Kitty’s Second Season Promises Even More Glorious Mayhem

The Wildest Teen Drama on Netflix: ‘XO, Kitty’ Season 2 Review

Kitty Song Covey, the titular lead of XO, Kitty and the most chaotic bisexual teenager on Netflix, is back, and I’m so ready to see what kind of hell she gets herself into this season, because the first season was gloriously over the top.

A Teen Drama Like No Other

XO, Kitty is a teen drama where every plot point is taken to its most ridiculous extreme. It’s also remarkably chaste: Nothing on screen ever goes beyond a slightly… suggestive glance. The show’s writer, Jenny Han, has a knack for crafting characters that are both relatable and utterly infuriating. In XO, Kitty, every character has their own tortured family drama, and every character also just does not know how to act like a decent human being, instead jumping to the most ridiculous conclusions and pulling off the most batshit plans.

The Love Hydra

Love triangles are staples of teen shows, from Gilmore Girls to Riverdale. In XO, Kitty, though, a simple love triangle evolves into a many-headed, vicious love hydra with a million added complications. Season 1 ended with Kitty’s romantic status up in the air, with deliciously promising entanglements for season 2: She realized that she and sweet Dae are better off as friends, she had a biwakening through Yuri (of all people), and she got a love confession from an unexpected source in the finale. Not only does Kitty have to deal with the chaos of her already quite frenzied dating life, her options expanded now that she’s also making heart-eyes at girls.

A Fountain of Endless Drama

The family plotline and romantic entanglements don’t even begin to scratch the surface of just how much unhinged drama is packed into the 10 half-hour episodes of season 1. Kitty accidentally gets assigned to the boys’ dorms. She almost fails out of school. Every character has their own tortured family drama. And every character also just does not know how to act like a decent human being, instead jumping to the most ridiculous conclusions and pulling off the most batshit plans. That makes XO, Kitty a reliable fountain of endlessly entertaining drama — anything that can happen in the show will. No one is more guilty of this than Kitty, who is a certified human wrecking ball.

Season 2: Hold On for Dear Life

When I watched season 1, I was a little thrown off at just how hyperbolic the show was, especially when compared to the original movie series. But now that I’ve accepted that it’s a high-octane ride that hits the gas from the first episode and never lets go, I’m more prepared for season 2. I can’t wait to hold on for dear life and see just what the hell Kitty gets herself into this time around.
