The second season of her midlife comedy drama is even more perspicacious, poignant and hilarious than the first.

A TV winner about, and for, grown-ups of an older (if not yet over-the-hill) age.

The writing is tack-sharp and the ensemble is full of underappreciated comic performers.

There are enough one-liners in Fey’s characteristically scathing style to keep the ship afloat, but in this case, it’s mainly the banter between the core ensemble that makes the journey(s) worth it.

Despite the fact that they're being lived in by an all-star cast who have a wonderful sense of chemistry, there are moments where I was left thinking about the mechanics of the vacations we see these people taking. I wasn't taken aback by twists, but I didn't need to be. Ultimately, suspending my disbelief about the characters' PTO packages wasn't difficult in the slightest because of how rich the storytelling is throughout the season.

Overall, The Four Seasons Season 2 is more uneven, yet still holds together thanks to the cast's chemistry and its exploration of grief, depression, and moving forward.

The potential glimpsed in the first season of “The Four Seasons” remains stubbornly out of reach in Season 2.
