I really don’t think it’s fair how everybody on Unreal is more or less apologising for Season 2. I loved it but even if I didn’t, I know a lot of shows have crappy seasons and I never hear their show runners or cast apologising. They should be proud of the season and their hard work and approach the next season with optimism and confidence. If Ryan Murph didn’t apologise for AHS 3-5, then nobody should have to!
