4 seasons season 2 — better than first

[Anonymous]

I know people have mixed views on the four seasons Tina fey reboot. I watched season 2 and I think it fixed a lot of the issues with season 1. Annie and the Italian guy are much better developed characters — less stereotyped and irritating. The balance feels better and th characters more likeable and realistic. Tina knows how to take a note, I think.
There are some really insightful lines and some really funny one line quips. I felt like all the characters ended up in more satisfying places.

There was a bit where Tina feys character just sort of lists off all the things contributing to her mid aged quasi misery and one of them was “I’m at the pinnacle of a career that I’ve worked my whole life to achieve, and it’s just okay.” Her whole list was very relatable, at least for me.

I am enjoying season 2 more as well! It’s an easy watch and very relatable.

I agree! I enjoyed watching the second season so much more than the 1st!

Started it last night begrudgingly and I agree, far more relatable and entertaining than season one. I wasn't hooked until about episode 3 though.

Also agree, and yes took me a bit to get into as well.

Good to know. 1st season felt insufferable (mainly for those of us triggered by Boomers).

This kept coming up in my feed and I was like no thanks already saw it ; it was awful.
I didn't realize it was season 2~!

So watch? Because there were so many things I hated about that crew.

It's awful, bordering on unwatchable.

And it's not Boomers, except for the one character who is inexplicably older than the others. It's purportedly Gen X, although with Boomer-ish traits that I hope stem from the original movie and not what Gen X is becoming. I don't claim them.

True. For those of us 1977-1980 GenX folks, we think of them as Boomerish. We are a totally different generation.

I mean, the acting is good. But I don't really get it viscerally as a Gen X person. It doesn't resonate to our generation's struggles.

DH and I watched the first 4 episodes of season 2 last night. We decided to give it a second try because a coworker talked about it being so much better than season one. It does take a few episodes to see the difference and I found myself laughing out loud a few times so I think we will continue with it.

Only partially through but the Covid episode was chef's kiss.

I also thought they didn't know how 30 something year olds acted in season 1. Someone who's 32 isn't going to be acting like that.

Thanks for posting this OP!

I was wondering how it would feel with the relevations in the Season finale.

But I'll give it a shot!

I stopped watching it like 10 min in bc I got a bad feeling the season was going to be abt Anne thawing toward her late husband’s young pregnant girlfriend and learning A Valuable Lesson or something and it was just too cringe. Is it not about that?
