Considering Ricky and Chad were, at a bare minimum, friends and, at most, potentially romantic interests, I was desperate for her to find out about his true identity. If they ever want to stand a chance at a normal relationship, she needs to know this secret. Now, she does. However, before that can result in peace and potentially romance, drama must ensue first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That, my friends, is why I\u2019m excited for Season 2. As Russ pointed out, if Ricky exposes him, she won\u2019t just take Chad\/Russ down; the whole team, and specifically her dad, will go down, too. So, we have a case of mutually assured destruction on our hands, and that\u2019s very exciting, especially when you mix in their feelings for each other and Russ\u2019s complicated relationship with her family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I love that right as Russ reached a place of self-acceptance and growth, this hurdle was thrown in his way. It will challenge him in a new way, because he genuinely cares for Ricky, and it will be so interesting to see them play both offense and defense next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It also makes me wonder how well Ricky will keep this secret and if they\u2019ll be forced to work together to make sure Russ\u2019s true identity isn\u2019t revealed. That would make for some great drama and comedy, if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, consider me tuned in for <em>Chad Powers <\/em>Season 2 if it happens.

Considering Ricky and Chad were, at a bare minimum, friends and, at most, potentially romantic interests, I was desperate for her to find out about his true identity. If they ever want to stand a chance at a normal relationship, she needs to know this secret. Now, she does. However, before that can result in peace and potentially romance, drama must ensue first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That, my friends, is why I\u2019m excited for Season 2. As Russ pointed out, if Ricky exposes him, she won\u2019t just take Chad\/Russ down; the whole team, and specifically her dad, will go down, too. So, we have a case of mutually assured destruction on our hands, and that\u2019s very exciting, especially when you mix in their feelings for each other and Russ\u2019s complicated relationship with her family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I love that right as Russ reached a place of self-acceptance and growth, this hurdle was thrown in his way. It will challenge him in a new way, because he genuinely cares for Ricky, and it will be so interesting to see them play both offense and defense next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It also makes me wonder how well Ricky will keep this secret and if they\u2019ll be forced to work together to make sure Russ\u2019s true identity isn\u2019t revealed. That would make for some great drama and comedy, if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, consider me tuned in for <em>Chad Powers <\/em>Season 2 if it happens. While I didn\u2019t consider it one of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/best-hulu-original-tv-shows-134944231.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Hulu\u2019s best shows;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Hulu\u2019s best shows<\/a> at first, I\u2019m stoked about where it\u2019s going, I\u2019m locked in, and I\u2019m ready to see what happens between Chad\/Russ and Ricky and how it impacts the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
