Compared to season one, this installment is abysmal. It is very slow to get to the point, using lots of stylized fillers, such as the main character walking through hallways, conversations happening with the audio out of sync, weird quirky stuff like that with no redeeming value. Once the show introduces the pivotal character, things do start to get interesting and you are given a new, clever approach to "the girlfriend experience." But that moment is only fleeting, squandered away to make room for the uninspired ending. This season is essentially a long, meandering, unqualified "Black Mirror" episode. With a strong season one, it is only fair to compare the lead actress Julia Goldani Telles's performance to the talents of none other than Elvis Presley's granddaughter, Riley Keough. While both are beautiful in their own right, Riley hits the right notes with her nuanced, aching performance, while something seems missing all along with the way Julia tries to carry each scene. She feels distant throughout all of the episodes; you wind up not really caring or rooting for her. Maybe it's those condescending eye rolls or the know-it-all tone of voice. If there is any gem out of this season, it is Frank Dillane, always fascinating especially with his British accent here.
