Big Mood season two review
The first series’s insightful look at bipolar disorder is gone. For its second outing, it’s a knockabout tale of a relationship gone wrong – which isn’t always easy to buy into
TL;DR
- "Big Mood" season two shifts focus from bipolar disorder to the relationship between Maggie and Eddie.
- Maggie is in a "stable girl era" but pines for Eddie, who has been influenced by a wellness guru named Whitney.
- The season involves Maggie trying to expose Whitney as a scammer to reconcile with Eddie.
- The review criticizes the shift to knockabout farce and questions the believability of Eddie's character arc and the toxic nature of the friendship.
- The show's early nuanced portrayal of mental illness is contrasted with its current focus on relationship drama and broad comedy.
