Here's my thoughts on these first five full episodes, overall/Season 2 so far.....
Episode 1 - The New Paranormal:
I saw little good coming outta Molly & Oliver being a thing from a mile away, unfortunately. I'm more concerned about Andrea, Molly, & Libby all being actually good friends now, honestly enough. Only because I don't trust Andrea to be a good friend to Molly - or especially Libby, whom she has mistreated in the past. I haven't forgotten that & refuse to do so anytime soon.
From what I'm keeping up with here, this show is now slowly turning into Danny Phantom, which I was never a huge fan of, despite having its moments here & there. However, I can deal with this, since so far, I actually do like most of these main characters, which helps things out for me, 100%.
Here's hoping things stay that way, of course.

Episode 2 - Book Marks The Sprite - Double Double Darryl Trouble
So far, getting back into this series - Glad to see Libby is still BEST CHARACTER HERE. And I personally know why.
However, that second segment is what really won me over - I didn't expect to feel for a troublemaker like Darryl THAT MUCH, to tell the truth. I was just OK with him, at first. After all this, I overall understand this show can only truly be so much without him (and FORGET the haters.).
Clearly, the writers handling hin understand that, too - especially with that dialogue at the end between him and the parents. Although, it's not like the parents weren't cracking it about that prank at the start, so.....

Episode 3 - Faint of Art - A Soda To RememberWith that first segment, I was caught off guard. I did think ghosts were messing with Sharon for a moment. Nah, just some good old-fashioned overcoming inner weakness for great character development. Let's keep up positive character development part in general, please & thank you very much! That's what keeps me watching, after all. Same with Scratch - although I don't got much to say with that second segment as I did the first one (that first segment just resonated with me better, honestly.). Regardless, good character development & delving into it is good, so don't stop, now.

Episode 4 - A Period Place - It's Always Sunny in Sunny LandMost of my focus in words here is mainly the first segment, as that stands out the most to me here..... Honestly: I was worried with all that period talk..... Thankfully, whomever wrote this first segment did things right, without saying too much beyond this. My real concern is like I said before - I don't trust Andrea that easily to just be good friends now with Molly. Especially not Libby - I haven't forgotten how Libby was mistreated by Andrea before, and I ain't letting it slide, neither.
I'll say this much about the second segment - most amusement parks aren't all they're hyped up to be, anyway. I hope Molly can strive to find better work than that when she gets older. SERIOUSLY.

Episode 5 - I Wanna Dance With SomeOllie - Davenport's on Demand
I was right to assume little good was coming from Molly & Oliver being a thing. I just hope Molly can stop herself from obsessing over him, going forward. That's my biggest issue here with all of this. That is, unless Oliver wants to develop a more morally gray character on his end to make things actually work, of course.....
The second segment is the real winner for me, if only because it shows me some actual hope that Andrea can be a good friend to Molly - and try to be a better friend to Libby than she ever was to her, in the first place. We shall see from here. Also, the whole Large vs. Small business conflict on display here is SPOT ON BASED & CORRECT. This show just happens to give us a happy ending for the small side here, something that I only wish happened more IRL, dangit.
Again, Maybe they might do something positive with Oliver at some point, but I would prefer if he confronted his parents & sisters on what paranoid fools they're acting like about ghosts in general. The lack of moral Grey understanding on things really hurts Oliver himself and his whole family worse, in the end. Or at least it will, eventually.

So, yeah..... These first 5 episodes were all varying degrees of High Tier (with three or fours God Tier moments embedded within.), to not dwell too long on it.
However..... One more thing to share here from me:
Unpopular opinion - I'm aware and understand if someone gets upset, but I can't change that: I've never been a huge fan of anything made by Butch Hartman. And not because of the "him being crazy" accusations, neither.
I definitely prefer this show over Danny Phantom, since while not perfect/despite their faults - I, unlike Danny Phantom, like most of the characters in THIS SHOW.
Even the ones I don't like/not really meant to like all that much (Andrea, or worse - her parents) have more endearing moments/qualities than anyone in Danny Phantom, at least for me personally.
Liking most of the characters in something, whether protagonist or antagonist, does go somewhat a long way in making a show better stand out for itself, at least to me. Butch Hartman's works in general just lack that for me, hence my dislike of them, unlike this show, anyway.

Watching the second episode now...
Were these episodes uploaded out of order? How does Libby know Ollie? They haven't met before this episode.
