If Gen Y 1 and 2 were an earthworm, Season 1 would be when it burrows holes so deep and twisted (e.g. Pha's unexplained break-up with Wayu and Sandees seemingly diabolical behavior) that it becomes trapped in its self-created labyrinth. And Season 2 would be the same earthworm struggling to wriggle out of its own mess. It is a fascinating watch after a fashion, but let it not be mistaken for something that is actually worth watching. (I think this is why so many people are watching and complaining all the way to the finale.)

Essentially Gen Y 2 is this: two men in love with each other but at least one decides not to seeing the other for one reason or another. Multiply that by a few times for different couples, most of the episodes.

I have to confess I did enjoy some parts like the sweetness between Mark and Kit (before things get messy and excessively sappy). What I liked most was the squabbling potential couple, Jack and Koh, who each vehemently denies any possible romance between them while fighting to have their ship named with his own name first.

Season 2 also attempts to resolve most of the problems created in Season 1, even if the resolutions don't altogether make sense. I guess this is one of the few good things about Season 2, apart from how a Season 3 seems highly unlikely. I can't help feeling that Season 2 could have been decent if Season 1 hadn't been such a mess. Too much effort spent needs to be spent to deal with the problems of Season 1, which had: (i) Pha's unexplained break-up with Wayu , (ii) Pha being uncontactable, (iii) Sandee's behavior, (iv) Thanu's random visions that results in a love triangle with him, Phai and Wayu (rectangle if you count Pha), etc.

In the end, the way the mess is slowly cleared seems forced, and the series ends up having to delve into heavy issues like dying and death that appear very much out of place. In the world of Gen Y, having little happen is perhaps a good thing. This is perhaps why the early Mark/Kit and JAck/Koh scenes are enjoyable. But even such scenes become draggy after Episode 10.

Season 2 also suffers from having a tad too many flashbacks: At first, the flashbacks can be forgiven for being reminders of what happened in Season 1, but soon enough, we get flashbacks of the earlier episodes in Season 2 as well. The flashbacks tend to be brief but either pointless or longer than they need to be.

There are also scenes of bare skin or sex that seem rather laughable or seem added in with the hopes of pleasing the audience. A case in point: in one scene, Pok finds out the truth about something and is angry with Tong. He goes home and confronts Tong, who is having a shower. Yet, despite his moment of anger, Pok storms into the bathroom and starts making out with Tong before confronting him about the matter he is angry about.

Since viewers are probably vexed and are likely just watching to see how the mess is cleared (even in unsatisfactory ways), once the mess is largely cleared, the series becomes utterly insipid. If there is anything that I will remember about Gen Y 2, it would be the stuff that are largely left undeveloped like the Jack/Koh romance and Sandee's apparent crush on Phai, The actor for Sandee handles the abrupt about-turns in the character fairly well and his quiet love for Phai is nicely shown.
