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.

Wednesday 2 (Part 1) – A Gorgeously Dark Return to Nevermore

Wednesday Season 2 lands with all the gothic flair that made the original binge-worthy —this time spotlighting even richer family dynamics and chilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. The first four episodes dropped on Netflix August 6, 2025 , with fans grudgingly waiting until September 3 for Part 2 . Why It’s Still a Blast Jenna Ortega continues to shine as a morose sleuth grappling with her supernatural talents and unwanted hero status. Her sharp delivery and deadpan wit are as compelling as ever. Family ties get deeper attention —Pugsley’s arrival at school, Morticia’s campus involvement (with Catherine Zeta-Jones in flamboyant form), and intriguing new faces like Steve Buscemi as the oddball new principal elevate the ensemble. Atmosphere and aesthetic remain rich and inventive. Tim Burton’s return as director (including a delightfully eerie animated sequence) and the inclusion of ominous crows and haunting visuals continue to delight. Mystery hooks abound...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
