I wont watch it just for that fact that Chief had sex and turned beta.

Petty, i know.

Had to turn it off in episode 2 was falling asleep (cuz it was trash).. I forgot about Kwan Ha. Oh god she’s beyond terrible.

She’s the most shit tier character ever. Genuinely shocked they didn’t write her off. Total cringe and and devastating to the show.

They need to kill her off ASAP. All the Kwan Ha and Chapelle’s brother scenes are a cancer to the show. It would be okay otherwise if they just stuck to the chief and Halsey stuff.
