Tennant and Sheen's chemistry shine through even while other aspects of the season are more lackluster.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn't exist.
Given its uproarious success, it seemed inevitable that we would get a follow-up season, even if this means that the story has to go off the reservation. But one thing on my mind, and likely many others' minds, was: would a Season 2 live up to the glory of Season 1? The short answer is: no, it does not.
It's unclear where the stumble was for the season, and having only seen the first five episodes and not the finale, I can't speak to whether or not the season wrapped up properly. While the episodes are still directed by Douglas Mackinnon, who directed all of Season 1, the series is now written by Gaiman as well as John Finnemore. Finnemore, who is a comedy writer as well as an actor, shouldn't bear the brunt of the blame for the season's lack of direction.
