It's also more centered on the female lead or heroine, and less on Bode and Tyler, which I think was the problem with S1. Bode and Tyler were better as supporting characters, the heart of the show is Kinsey and her friends doing the horror films. They are more interesting, and
less predictable or cliche ridden.

Also having "Dodge" infiltrate the horror film group and play the monster in the films as nerdy, likable Gabe is inspired. And having Gabe/Dodge develop feelings for Kinsey and want her...is interesting as well.
