One of the most hypnotic and trashy titles in the catalog is back on Netflix: Toy Boy returns for a second season ready to make you regret the first. The finale of the last episode had left us with bated breath in front of a tragedy that could have put an end to the feud between strippers and the Irish, but also to the whole story. Instead, with one of the typical hyperboles that the series has accustomed us to.

Toy Boy Season 2: Story and Review

Toy Boy season 2 story resumes the story from that moment with a stubborn search for the truth by Hugo, Ivan and his companions. Alongside them, however, the power of families in search of redemption has grown, ready to challenge the entire system to get to steal power from the upper floors of Macarena and Benigna. Between retired cops still thirsty for blood and power and a new Hell/Heaven to pull up, the protagonists of the series intertwine their lives continuously to get to a point that no one knows what it might be. The bar of justice and truth so longed for are shifted episode after episode, ending up becoming a very distant horizon.

Toy Boy confirms all the characteristics of the first season, playing above all on a photograph and a characterization of the characters worthy of the best fashion magazines. Statuesque bodies and physicists fill the screen to weave deep romantic relationships and plots of power and revenge, punctuating the dialogues with more or less veiled sexual references. In this riot of sensuality and ostentation of sex appeal, the characters remain once again rather flattened, in a sort of two-dimensionality that does not go beyond their mere narrative function, in which any deepening is denied.

The only dynamic in which space is left for an attempt at introspection is the reconstruction of the couple formed by Hugo and Triana, even if Triana’s dreams of recovering the leg are well forced compared to damage that is much less dramatic than to the pathetic load shown. Having overcome the crisis with the Irish gang, then, the page is immediately turned towards the new arch enemy: the Turkish. This is just one of the many sudden changes of focus by the second season of Toy Boy , which relies on the narration of Triana to be guided through the episodes, thus preferring a character all in all on the sidelines compared to the others, contrary to what happened in the first season with the words of Hugo narrator, the only true protagonist of that round of episodes.

In conclusion, Toy Boy 2 returns to the office by focusing once again on his winning cards and, despite all the connections of events that are nothing short of unlikely, he manages to keep the public’s attention alive throughout the ten episodes that make up the second season. The good will of the cast, performers and operators, however, fails to make up for an incomplete script, in which the various narrative ideas are scattered without solution of continuity, only by maintaining a homogeneous base made up of sex and dancing.

Toy Boy Season 2 Review: The Last Words

Well Toy Boy Season 2 decent to watch but not impressed us like its previous season. The result is therefore a juxtaposition of events that mix old and new characters, but which compared to what happened in the first season remains emptied of the story between Hugo and Triana which, basically it is useless to deny it, is the only real reason why there we have gone through all these episodes.
