Swagger has definitely gone a lot deeper in its second season tackling social issues and also diving into political ones, in addition to basketball.
We still had a basketball scene at the end, but it was a little low on drama and I feel like we could have gotten a little more here. They were supposed to be underdogs so why not give us a star player from the opposing side?
But this episode put the spotlight on CJ for the first time and had him reveal to his father and the team he sexual preference. It probably would not have gone this comfortably in real life, but we know they want to paint a rosy picture on TV.
