Is It A Hot Take To Say That I Never Really Felt Like Caitvi Worked All That Well Even Back In Season

is it a hot take to say that i never really felt like caitvi worked all that well even back in season 1 as a romantic pairing and vastly preferred it as a platonic relationship? it worked so much better as a begrudging, transactional deal between her and vi, and its quick advancement to romantic feelings between the two was always one of S1's weaker elements. and then S2 happened. the scene being a good representation piece aside (which is a MASSIVE win, in case anyone misunderstands me) the issues i have with the pairing only grew ten times worse. even putting aside the gross implications of the social dynamics at play, it all just feels so... rushed. i'm supposed to believe that vi would leave her sister to run off with very clear signs of suicidal behaviour in order to get down and dirty with this topsider she's known for... what, a few days? with a six month gap between their last meeting which ended with caitlyn assaulting her and saying she's just like her sister, just like the "animals" in the undercity? the same sister who, in season 1, was vi's explicit motivator for surviving seven hellish years of prison when her life fell apart all around her?

what was once an uninteresting pairing to me has now become one i outright dislike, because it wasn't given anywhere near enough time to be properly developed, leading to horrendously out of character actions from vi and taking focus away from her and jinx, the fucking PROTAGONISTS of the show.
