Sad Season Two So Far
14 December 2018
I enjoyed Season 1 completely finding it an interesting dip into an American subculture on the cusp of change in what I take to be the late 1950's. At that time there were no laws against women being comics, doctors, lawyers or, I suppose lumberjacks but few were. Today only the lumberjack category remains male only. The change came within a decade of this show's time and picked up speed during the following ten years.

I've just started Season 2 finding it disappointing so far. First, and most annoyingly noticeable, is a nasty sound track that often pointlessly blasts out putting my teeth on edge every time. It's genuinely repulsive. The second issue is that it's turned into a farce. A housewife having no money or skills, moves overseas and exists on nothing much for weeks until her husband notices she's gone (they share a bed). A person is kidnapped by professional killers who are tasked to hand out a beating but the one kidnapped, by gum, ends up making friends with the killers and even sharing a meal at one's house.

I'll give S2E2 another try but if the nonsense coupled with vile 'music' continues, I'm out.
