‘My Life With the Walter Boys’ S2 Review: Familiar Romance, High-Drama Cliffhanger & Room for Growth

The second season of Netflix’s My Life With the Walter Boys doubles down on its signature love triangle with Jackie caught between brothers Cole and Alex, delivering all the expected teen-romance drama—now more intense and emotionally charged.
While the real-time chemistry keeps viewers hooked, the writing relies heavily on familiar tropes. According to RIOTUS, it's “an easy watch” if you lean into the spectacle—but narrative choices often flip between “nonsensical” twists and predictable beats.
Fans remain divided: sources like TheWrap criticize the series for its surface-level plotting, noting a lack of developed character motivations and depth.
Still, the show executes the emotional escapism expected from this genre—sometimes at the cost of complexity.
Despite familiar storytelling, Season 2 ends with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, revealing Jackie’s heartfelt confession to Cole—overheard by Alex—just as a medical emergency strikes. This dramatic twist guarantees major fallout as Season 3 already enters production.
