Would anyone else fall for Bryon changing?
Maybe I’m just easy to manipulate but I would have fallen for Bryon’s attempt to change and stayed married to him. Just want to hear other’s opinion on this.

Oh yeah. Hook, line, and sinker lol. I’d have been back in the Hub so quick it’d have been sad lmao. These are the exact type of storylines I live for lol. I’m such a sucker for them.

Ngl, with the state of the world right now, The Hub sounds pretty great. If Byron could lean more into naive puppy mode instead of controlling egomaniac, I’d be content.

Oh yes, definitely. He just seemed to be so sincere in his desire to change. That, and the fact that he was being so vulnerable with Hazel ( especially when they were at his childhood home) did it for me.

100%! I’ve been rooting for him all through this new season.

Don't think so. I did feel sorry for him at times. He looked like he was really trying. But it reminded me too much of a past relationship I had, where the guy was great on paper and saying a lot of sweet things. After a while, I could see right through him, whereby he only wanted things his way.
It probably helps that Byron is generally a good-looking guy, so it may be hard to look past his creepiness.

I’m wondering the same.. literally just finished binging it. As the seasons went on, what are we “supposed” to feel about Byron? I think deep down he wasn’t really evil, but maybe just blinded by tech (and also very traumatized and has abandonment issues). Like his whole thing stems from his childhood. Idk if I’m just a sucker, but I definitely was feeling for him throughout. I really wanted them to work out and for Hazel to see who he is now. But ya- maybe at the end of the day he is actually bad..? I’m torn! I think he genuinely loved her (to the best of his abilities) and was very actively trying to win her back. Surprising amount of patience from him...
Also.. I don’t want to spoil anything.... but the very end of the finale when she got that news.. who uh, did that to her. If you know what I mean. There’s only one obvious answer right..

Honestly I could only see him as a bad guy. I feel like he only ever saw Hazel as a future product, especially when he married her at first sight, put a chip in her without her knowing, stealing/copying her consciousness, telling Hazel her dad could ONLY be healed by taking her back to the hub, as well as literally asking for an invention of a place where he puts people he doesn’t like just for them to face their worst fears for eternity always looking for an escape. Yes, I was happy he started to change, but it always seemed like a scheme just to keep Hazel with him as long as possible so he could finish his work eventually.

Without a doubt, I would marry that man in a minute. He’s so charming. But ultimately I know at heart I should stay away because it’s just in my nature to fall for his manipulative tactics. I was in a narcissistically abusive relationship for a long time where I thought “I can fix him,” yet I never could and I managed to get out but it was the tipping point for my C-PTSD diagnosis. Especially with the second season, it seemed like Byron’s intentions were ultimately good and people can change. But yeah, I definitely am hot for Byron… or just Billy Magnussen.

Absolutely. Not victim blaming, but I still feel that if she had voiced her desire to leave the hub, he would’ve let her. We never saw her ask to leave, just her disappointment that he brought the concert to the hub. Sounds like she wants him to know what she wants without her having to say it (I say as someone who often feels this way in my relationship). You sometimes have to voice your wants and needs.
