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

Dead to Me had finally returned for 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.

Other than that, we have Jen's (Christina Applegate) 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 to murder, and the cop lets 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 (Linda Cardellini) gets a lot of money that was hidden inside her paintings. A lot of money. Is she that innocent? Also, let's not forget Charlie (Sam McCarthy) 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.

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...

Grief in the Shadows: Why 'The Silencing' Stands Out

A moody thriller about grief, violence, and how far we go for the ones we love. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Game of Thrones ) is Rayburn Swanson , a former hunter who now lives in isolation, running a wildlife sanctuary named after his missing daughter. Years after she vanished, Rayburn is just barely functioning—haunted, grieving, and clinging to the hope that she might still return. When a murdered girl turns up in the woods with eerie similarities to his daughter's disappearance, the local sheriff, Alice Gustafson ( Annabelle Wallis ), launches an investigation. Rayburn, meanwhile, accidentally crosses paths with a mysterious masked figure hunting a girl on his land. This encounter pulls him into the heart of the case in ways he never expected. The investigation twists, misleads, and slowly unravels, building toward a reveal that isn’t obvious—and intentionally so. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Themes of Grief and Family What makes The Silencing compelling is...
