This season is slow so far, hopefully it gets fun.
It’s not his aging for me, it’s the way he phones in his performances in most of his post Mad Men work. He seems to just be there for the paycheck. He’s just boring to me most of the time.

James Marsden is fun to watch, but he has THE cheesiest smile of any actor, ever. And he always plays the same type of character.
Tori is such a spoiled brat. I think it would have been far more interesting had she NOT gotten into Princeton, after her grossly arrogant expectation that she would. I would have liked to see her not have applied anywhere else and then be SOL when rejected by Princeton. I hope they at least insist she get a job if she’s not going to college.
And the ridiculous neighbor with the dog - I could so relate. That’s when you start picking up the dog’s $hit and handing it right back to the owners until they get the point.

I’m glad shows are talking about perimenopause and highlighting this phase of life. But the cluelessness of how it was covered did kind of remind me of the Connors when Becky tried to donate her eggs in her early 40s and was surprised to find that she wasn’t a candidate and Darlene decided at 43 to have a baby with her new husband and acted kind of shocked that they might have a hard time.
This phase of life is important to cover, but women are often portrayed as clueless. I just feel like they could’ve handled this better. She could’ve absolutely had a conversation with her friends about her symptoms that was more real than acting like she was shocked about what was happening.

I’m sorry, but I just feel like that’s really unrealistic and Amanda should’ve said something to the writers. I am 50 and what woman is just now googling perimenopause symptoms for the first time? I don’t even have bad symptoms. I don’t even think I’ve had ever had a hot sweat. But me and my friends have been talking about it for the last few years and my Instagram reels for the last few years has been filled with information. I realize the medical community and doctors don’t really bring it up but anyone with an iPhone in the year 2026 who is over 40 or at least mid 40s has been hearing about and thinking about this for a few years.
I think it’s very community specific. Some women are talking about it frequently and others not so much. I’m glad to see it on a popular show, especially the less discussed and awful symptom in particular.
I still enjoyed this episode but it wasn’t as good as the first. More Marsden, less Hamm please!

Same. I enjoyed the first episode of season 1, but hated this second episode. Also, who wants to watch about perimenopause symptoms for entertainment. Show me the jewelry, clothes, houses, cars, good-looking men, and sex. I already think about my symptoms enough.

I was so disappointed in season 1 which I thought started strong and rapidly deteriorated that I wasn’t planning to watch S2. When I saw that James Marsden would be in S2 I changed my mind and I’m glad I did.

No you didn't. There were ZERO clues that she was involved.
Would have been worse if had obvious “clues.” That people can figure a show out doesn’t mean it’s bad. This one was just really obvious with its writing troupes and cast appearances. Also, the internet begs to differ with you too on zero clues- lots of Reddit posts were figured out early on. At least give credit to some DCUMers to be as sharp as redditers!

Not true, DH and I guessed it as well. Not what happened exactly but, it was pretty obvious.

I enjoyed it - not the best of the rich people behaving badly genre, but also not the worst. I’d place it in the middle - I liked it more than the Morning Show but it’s no White Lotus.

Sane here. Nothing surprising about it at all.
