Review: Dead to Me (Season 2) - What else can happen?

Dead to Me had finally returned to a second season. Yet, it probably should have ended in the first one. I'm sorry fans of the show, but this second season was a bit… too much?

[SPOILERS]

Let's see. The dysfunctional duo can't stop committing crimes and avoiding responsibilities. Now, the two friends are even more involved in terrible secrets. They have no idea how to get out of the madness spiral they're in to.

Other than that, we have Jen's neighbor. Could that woman be more annoying and nosy? And how about Steve's twin brother? Twin? For real?

Too emotional

It seems that they tried to humanize the characters a bit more, but they went too far. Jen confesses a murder, and the cop let her go. That's nonsense! Why did the cop do it? Because the fragile cop has, after all, mommy issues! Did she miss the part that Jen killed a man?

In a time where feminism is such a big deal, this wasn't a good choice. It makes women look like little super emotional and irrational beings.

No matter how implausible it is for something to happen. In this season, it will happen. Ridiculous.

The End

If you were able to get to the end of the show, you didn't find a good one.

First, Judy gets a lot of money that was hiding inside her paintings. A lot of money. Is she that innocent? Also, let's not forget Charlie finding the envelopes. Naturally, you'll leave a letter where you confess a crime lying around the house, right?

We already realize that Steve's brother has a problem with alcohol, but that end? Too many coincidences to be credible.

Where is the fun aspect?

Dead to Me is supposed to be a comedy, a dark comedy, but it isn't. At least, not anymore.

I mean, it could be interesting to watch as everything happens to take them down, but enough is enough. It was too much. Everything goes wrong, but they have zero consequences. It feels empty.

I loved the first season. This one was a disappointment.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV. A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine. The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom. Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and personal

Yet, it left us wanting more. I believe that for many viewers, it heightened the excitement for what lies ahead. With the foundation laid in the initial season, there is great potential for the upcoming season to address any lingering questions and provide, once more, good entertainment. Chal
