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.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

  Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed.  This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

  In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
