For people considering this title: I think this review is right on. I enjoyed Part 1 and, although Part 2 might not have been quite as good, enjoyed Part 2 also. This review is, for me, more accurate than the August 15 Shelf Life review.

Seems to be no mention of the issues with Allison and Will's relationship. I would count it as a significant enjoyment factor issue, especially if you watched the first season.

Another really well written review by Theron. I found myself looking forward to this show after really enjoying the first series. However after marathoning through it, I felt a little disappointed in the treatment of some of the characters, especially Lillia. It bugged me to no end that spoiler[everyone around Lillia knew who Treize was and who her father was, and neither secret was ever given up. It felt really insulting to Lillia after awhile that no one ever gave enough trust or credit to tell her the truth.] But even with that the show was still fun enough. Like Theron mentioned, it was really interesting to see the generational advancement of the story. I'd recommend it to anyone who liked the first show.

By this point, it's completely obvious to me that the reviewer who most accurately matches my feelings on shows is Theron. I'm sure there are titles on which we'd differ on, but nearly every review of his that I've read I find myself agreeing with the majority of what he brings up. This is no different. I found Allison & Lillia to be more enjoyable than what Erin appeared to in Shelf Life, but it's not without it's faults. A B is a fair rating.
