I loved it! No surprise there. I think they did a great job with Kate and Edwina's relationship and family circumstance. I also loved getting so much Eloise! The Featheringtons continued to crack me up.

It does drag near the end, but overall I thought it was a solid season. I was more invested in Eloise and Penelope's friendship than Kate and Anthony though.

I'll admit that I was not excited for this one. The previews did nothing for me. But I loved how this one definitely stepped out of the squeak clean Disney-Pixar box. It deals with some major topics! INCLUDING PERIODS!!! Meilin's mom goes all out when she thinks Meilin has become a woman!

It did a lot of things wonderfully, and it's cute, but I didn't cry. But I am now a 4-Town fan, because A+ soundtrack.

While I adore Jules' friendships, I wanted to see her focusing on herself a bit more. All of the girls are working on their own lives and relationships as well. Of course, there's still plenty of the girls being awesome together was well, but it's less focused on them establishing those relationships like the first season. It's maintenance mode!

Women in their fifties dealing with life.

When would be a good time to watch this?
When you want to cringe a lot or write analyses on why this show missed the mark.

Where does it take place?
Manhattan.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I was a huge fan of the original series, and was curious.

How did I like this?
I cringed as soon as they started talking. They are so focused on pandemic jokes and references. Like, we get it, we're in a pandemic, you don't need to remind us every scene. I also hated how they explained Samantha's absence. Kim didn't want to be on the show, but they didn't need to villafy Samantha.

After that, it's just more cringe-worthy conversations after cringe-worth conversation. Even serious, touching moments turn awkward in the worst way possible. I made it through all ten episodes, but it was because I just could not look away! I can't believe they thought this was okay.
