    Loved season 1...
    ... but didn't understand the purpose of season 2 at all.

    I was on the edge of my seat for a great part of season 1, yet was on my phone for most of season 2. The whole Zoe Kravitz storyline is so slow and, frankly, uninteresting. I was glad to know, going into season 2, that we would see more of her but I just couldn't get attached to her character. It's just doom and gloom, nothing happens. I could not get to care about Laura Dern and Reese Witherspoon's issues either. Nicole Kidman's performance remains my favorite, as in season 1. She's magnificent. Meryl Streep is great in her role but again, the storyline just falls flat in my opinion.

    The 8 stars are for season 1, I binged it all in ONE day. The performances were ourstanding. I really wish they would have stopped there. I genuinely don't understand the purpose of season 2.

    FAQ1

    • If the kids are in the ages between 6 and 7 years old isn't that a little weird that they choose Nicole Kidman and Laura dern to play the role of a 6 years old mother? I mean till what age you can still get pregnant?
