The Four Seasons season two review
Poignant, hilarious, loaded with a super-sharp script … the second outing for this midlife comedy is even more fantastic than the first
TL;DR
- The second season of "The Four Seasons" is praised for being more perspicacious, poignant, and hilarious than the first.
- The series structure divides episodes around four fancy holidays, with two gag-packed episodes per holiday.
- Season two focuses on reconfigured couples after the death of Nick: Kate and Jack, Danny and Claude, and Nick's ex-wife Anne with Ginny (who is pregnant with Nick's baby).
- Key events include scattering Nick's ashes, a summer at the beach with evolving relationship dynamics, and a Thanksgiving episode featuring both a present-day mishap and a flashback to Covid.
- The show is noted for its sharp humor, witty dialogue, and insightful portrayal of middle-aged experiences, including themes of friendship, long-term relationships, and personal growth.
- The visual style is compared to Nancy Meyers movies, but the show's content is darker and more complex, exploring regret, trauma, and conflicting desires.
