i love hospital playlist but this aint it

The acting and the cast is great but I'm confident to say that there is zero character development. It starts just as it ends which makes it feel very lackluster and pointless. A lot of things that were build up during season 1 either gets backpedaled or put on hold until the very last episode. Even storylines set up in the beginning of season 2 gets backpedaled or not used to its full potential. and I'm saying this as someone who truly loves hospital playlist season one and what the writer has done previously.

I dont mind product placement but it was very often that there was multiple scenes written purely for the sake of showing off the product. This coupled with the fact that there wasnt much to the story just makes me sad.

Plenty off loose ends and questions remain unanswered, but not in a way that id like a season 3 id rather want the cast and the writer to work on other things. I still love the writer and the cast and i cant wait to see what they do next, i wonder if its netflix/leadership who is to blame for the (plenty of) shortcomings.

harmful stereotypes of mental health

It started out fine with a lot of potential. Originally it had a good chance at a good plot but halfway through they just finished part of the main plot? Was a very weird choice to do and rest of the main plot just kinda dragged along with no character development at all. The crimes was kind of interesting but they sometimes magically solved it with profiling in ways I don't know how they did it. They saw like a half eaten cookie and just "this guy must have bad teeth caused by chewing on pencils so we should go see dentists nearby and find the killer in their database" it was just a lot of reaching or sometimes something would perfectly happen right in front of them that caused them to solve it.

The BIGGEST issue i had though with this show was that with every episode though I noticed that all the killers had some sort of mental health problematic that somehow caused them to kill. Mental health disorders does in no way contribute to a person being a killer! This made all the main characters refer to the bad guy as crazy, unstable and other harmful ways to look at mental health. Often they got the diagnosis seriously wrong too! Not sure if this is spoilers but one of the killers had dissociative identity disorder where one of his alters was his abusive dad.. usually DID is caused by trauma and seperates the trauma from the main personality to cope with what has happened. it doesnt intensify it and copy another persons personality?!

Also one of the bad guys had a unnamed mental issue, im guessing they tried a stereotype of schizophrenia but they never said what he had just that he was crazy. He was going to some sort of event to celebrate that he was finally healthy again and ofc he suddenly "snapped" and killed a bunch of people.

Somehow i watched this until the end but the ending made me laugh out loud because it was so stupid. they had so many chances to stop the main antagonist but for some reason never did, you'd think the guns they had was fake at that point.. I would advice to steer clear of this series because its so all over the place.
