Chapter Two Page Three: AGGGTM Season 2 Review
It feels like just yesterday I was sitting on my couch, pressing play on the Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV show and typing up my thoughts on my computer (throwback to this post from two years ago where I reviewed the series).
But so much has changed since then. I'm sitting on a different couch. I'm using a different computer. I'm looking at a different TV. I'm in a different room. I attend a different school. I have a different mindset on life. I've made different friends. I've experienced different things.
As I'm sitting here, watching the beautifully poignant scene where Pip meets with Becca Bell, I feel a sense of nostalgia. A longing for what used to be. And, of course, the emotional chaos of the scene.
Again, so much has changed. If you had told the 2024 version of me what has happened in the last 2 years, she wouldn't believe you at all.
But there is one question that she would ask, and I would be at a loss for words: Have you finished writing the book? I know this post is supposed to be about my thoughts on the season 2 of AGGGTM. But everything, everything circles back to the book, or the lack of it.
When season one of Percy Jackson came out, I was so excited. Season 2 of Percy Jackson came out a few months ago. I never watched it. I was too busy. There is something poetic hidden in there, but I'm too busy to find it.
Anyways. Enough of that. Let's go back to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder!!!

Episode One Thoughts
Wow, it feels like forever since I clicked that button to create a header.
I'm currently at the scene where Max speaks to Pip at the graveyard. The acting and plot is insane. It's making my blood boil. It's filling me with rage.
Ravi is looking for Pip, and she isn't here in the audience. Because she's speaking to Max. Ravi looks so sad. He looks heartbroken and shattered to pieces. Pip missed the part where he called her "the girl I love."
Why is Jamie missing. I knew that was coming and I still forgot.
Episode Two Thoughts
So I do need to be completing this online course right now. And I also need to be practicing for Nationals in a week. I'm literally doing three things at once right now.
This article is not a priority. The soundtrack is really good, though.
It's so interesting how Max's mom thinks she's innocent. I feel a little bit of sympathy towards his Mom. She seems like a genuine and sweet person.
IM FREAKING OUT RN. I'm very stressed as if I'm in the show. Pip got caught.
Oh, so I was looking at Stanley Forbes's Wiki page and I accidentally spoiled the show for myself. Hopefully, now I can focus on the course I need to do. Bye bye.
BECCA IS SO BRAVE for doing this and for testifying. I have so much sympathy for Becca. She was a victim of circumstance. I actually feel really bad for her.
I keep spoiling this for myself. Bro from what I remember, doesn't Max get ruled as not guilty?
Episode Three Thoughts
GUYS I AM SCREAMING THIS SHOW IS MAKING ME PANIC. i am unwell. OH MY GOSH THIS SHOW. bro why do i do this to myself.
I hope his Max's finds out the truth about him. I HATE PIP'S FRIEND. THE ONE WHO'S IN LOVE WITH MAX'S BROTHER.
Well now episode three is over, I finished my lunch and made some progress on the course.
Episode Four Thoughts
This scene of Max's mom confronting him is satisfying all of me. It is comforting my rage and soothing my soul.
The acting of Nat's brother finding out what Max did to Nat is actually so heartbreaking.
OH MY GOD. Was Max going to plead guilty before Dan got involved???? I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. STUPID DAN. STUPID PIP. bruh. she was wrong about everything.
Pip is actually annoying right now. She messed everything up. MAX WAS ABOUT TO DO THE RIGHT THING. Yeah, now I know the jury's verdict is going to be not guilty.
My heart is beating so fast during Max's trial. I am freaking the freak out.
Episode Five Thoughts
There's five different plotlines going one at once and I'm getting blindsided because I care about each one deeply. Oh my gosh, they're using "Achilles Come Down" in the soundtrack, too.
How did the jury reach a verdict in 40 minutes? What is it?
I am freaking out. I am not ready. I am NOT READY. OH NO RAVI SOUNDS TOO SAD. HE WAS NOT GUILTY? SHUT UP. SHUT UP RIGHT NOW. IF PIP HADN'T INTERFERED THEN MAX WOULD HAVE CONFESSED.
This scene of Pip and Nat sobbing and holding each other on the floor is so sad. I suppose it's true, what Pip thought. Some people are untouchable. Becca crying is so sad. This is so sad, but it what real life has become.
I resonate with Pip on a deeper level, and this show is representing parts of me that I had no idea needed representation.
"You said we would win. You said we had the truth on our side, and I believed you! But you were wrong, because the truth doesn't matter. It never did."
This is such a good quote from Pip right here and of course this is where my parents entered, and I have to pick it up tomorrow. I was thinking about what I remember from the books and do Pip/Ravi break up? Was it this book or the next?
It's the next day. I'm also watching this show in 1.5x which feels illegal, but I have a life to live.
RAVI JUST SAID I LOVE YOU. Soundtrack is peak once again. Isn't it Pip's neighbor that's evil? That means the first time Pip is opening up, she's opening up to that evil Charlie. And he manipulated her into doing bad things.
OH MY GOSH IS SHE POSTING THE RECORDING. THAT'S ILLEGAL.. ISN'T THAT SLANDERING. ISNT MAX GOING TO CALL THAT SLANDERING
This is such a good series because we can see her descent from a hopeful girl who believes in justice to a revenge-seeking antihero. im scared to hit unpause. the kiss in the rain
Episode Six Thoughts
I am so, so invested in this TV series. I remembered the whole Child Brunswick thing from the books and I was still completely blindsided.
I am so scared for Pip. I have faith in her.
THAT'S WHY CHARLIE WAS SO OBSESSED WITH VIGILANTE JUSTICE, BECAUSE HE'S DOING IT
an ad came on before stanley forbes was about to die. or not die. we'll see.
did stanley just get shot. i am so asdfghjkl;'.
bro is she at a psych ward what is going on??
pip's parents are so locked out. pip is lwk in need of a psych ward. connor is so cute
"You didn't destroy my family, Pip, you are my family" i love cara
ofc shes stressed she's so valid for that
Conclusion
Okay, that's all for today. I CANNOT wait until Season Three is released. I will be awaiting the return of Pip and Ravi on my screen.
Have a great day everyone.
