i agree, i don’t dislike klara either! however, i thought it would be a lot more poignant if she spent season 2 trying to fix things with amie rather than starting a whole new relationship, especially because she made it seem like amie’s friendship was so important to her in season 1. in general i hate the idea that the proximity to a man was the thing that made her more likeable.
I think it's fair that Klara didn't really put much effort into fixing her friendship with Amie. It seems like a lot of people gloss over the fact that Amie went behind Felicia's back and made out with Ludde, and it's totally understandable why you wouldn't want to be best friends with someone like that. Yes, Felicia and Ludde had just had a pretty bad fight, but to my knowledge they weren't officially broken up. Even if Ludde thought they were, it's not exactly tactful of Amie to make a move on him right after it happened. Amie was the one who led him into the room and seemed to be the one who initiated it. They were both in the wrong and what they did was incredibly hurtful to Felicia, and Amie isn't exactly the sweet and flawless person that people claim she is.
If Klara was the one who had led Ludde into that room and Amie was the one who filmed it, I'm sure people would hate Klara even more and argue that Amie was in the right for filming it so she could prove to Felicia that Ludde had been cheating. Amie is a fan favorite, and that's why she (according to fans) shouldn't have to face any consequences despite kissing her best friend's boyfriend and then following him around when they were broken up and kissing him again. Not to mention the fact that she kept insisting on it and even called Ludde later on to confess that she was "in love" with him, despite knowing he was still in love with Felicia. She has no respect for Felicia at all. And yet people actually get mad at Felicia for lashing out when she's the one who was betrayed, cheated on, and publically embarrassed. How do you think Felicia should act? She lost the trust of her boyfriend and her best friend in one night but she gets called immature for being upset.
I always see people putting a lot of blame on Klara because they like Amie as a character more and because of the way Klara posted the video. Yes, Klara should've deleted that video when Sara told her to (she shouldn't have filmed it in the first place), but she actually hesitated on posting it until she was in a really bad place and felt hurt by Amie implicating that Klara wasn't a real friend. In front of a whole crowd of people, to add. Klara obviously wasn't thinking when she posted that video — she was upset and acted rashfully, and it's clear that she later regretted how she had posted the video. Klara even apologized to Felicia and she did take responsibility. Unlike Amie, it seems, who we never see actually trying to apologize.
Klara posted the video to hurt Amie (who frankly was also in the wrong) and Klara shouldn't be the only one to apologize. It seems like Klara doesn't regret exposing Amie for what she did either, just that she regrets how she posted it publically and how it hurt Felicia. Klara acknowledges that it could've been done more tactfully. It was pretty obvious Amie and Ludde weren't planning on coming clean anytime soon either, which absolutely wasn't fair to Felicia who was blissfully unaware of the situation and genuinely thought she'd found happiness and friends after everything she'd gone through in the US.
Also, for everybody who I see using this argument — Klara posting that video is not "underage pornography" and such a severe crime that she should go to prison for it. Sweden isn't America. You are mostly allowed to film whatever you want here and use the footage as you wish, but of course there are restrictions to this which are noted in Brottsbalken (BrB), the Swedish criminal code. Filming somebody without their knowledge on private property is a crime, but the severity of the punishment can vary.
If Ludde or Amie had actually reported Klara to the police for this (which they didn't), I believe the worst thing that would happen is that Klara's parents would have to pay a fine. I should also mention that only one in five reports of offensive photography lead to criminal charges, and a lot of them involve nudity. What Klara did is definitely not as severe in comparison. She just filmed a bear and a lobster making out.
Anyway, I'm getting off-topic. I'd like to add that her getting into a relationship wasn't the only thing that contributed to her becoming more likable. Klara was more mature in season 2, took responsibility for her actions, told Felicia when she believed Jack might be cheating on her, helped out her dad when his company went bankrupt and stayed by his side when he had his mental breakdown, stood up to her mother when she said that Klara should just leave her father and take the easy way out, showed concern when seeing that Felicia was still taking drugs instead of shaming her for it this time, and rushed home immediately upon seeing the missed calls from her dad. I think she'd still be likable even if you removed Elias from the equation.
