While watching this episode, all I can think about is the homage to Alfred Hitchcock, his life and movies. Bertram has Hitch's silhouette, his wife is named Alma, they have only one daughter, and the storyline has elements from Hitchcock's movies like Psycho and Rear Window. See if you can spot any more references. As a Hitchcock fan, it's a fun story to follow.

Good storyline..

Two episodes into season 2 and I'm enjoying it immensely.. Scooter is just like Rita how you going to throw Sweet Dee out into the rain?
Also, I love the use of rain in this episode! Fantastic and just added a je ne sais quoi! I hate Bertram but love him and love the actor who plays Bertram. Also, the nosy neighbour scene, marvellous!

I absolutely loved this episode as well! I didn't know about Alison Tolman, but she's really good as Alma, and Veronica Falcon as Catherine is just deliciously unbearable! I understand why people can think that it's similar to Desperate housewives, but there are differences though, and personally I love it!

While watching the first two episodes, I was haunted by a weird sense of deja vu.
The previous season of WWK was creative and intriguing, interweaving three stories throughout different timelines. But I'm not against the linear narrative in this season, I'm against the boring writing and overused story tropes, which I remember from Marc Cherry's previous work. The narration, editing, even the theme music seem too familiar.
After such strong first season, it would be sad to say goodbye to its uniqueness and particular tone.
