The Four Seasons is back.
The Netflix hit series with Season 2 on Thursday (May 28), and all eight episodes are available to binge on the streamer right now.
Here’s the synopsis: “Coming off a hard year, our group of friends carries on their tradition of vacationing together — now with a baby in tow. The Four Seasons picks back up with the core group — Kate (Tina Fey), Jack (Will Forte), Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), Danny (Colman Domingo), Claude (Marco Calvani), and Ginny (Erika Henningsen) — as they journey from the familiar comforts of the Jersey shore and upstate New York to the stunning landscapes of Italy. With warmth and wit, personal blind spots surface for the group as they each grieve their late friend and embark on new adventures.”
But what are people saying about the second season of the hit show?
What the critics are saying about The Four Seasons Season 2
Collider gave it a 6 out of 10, writing: “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.”
Screen Rant gave it a 7 out of 10, writing: “The Four Seasons season 2 is refreshing in unexpected ways, reinventing itself after a major loss.”
The Daily Beast says: “A TV winner about, and for, grown-ups of an older (if not yet over-the-hill) age.”
The Guardian gives it 5 out of 5 stars, writing: “This is a dark and difficult world in which good men smash up vintage snack shacks, regrets must be lived with, sacrifices made, childhood traumas kept buried, and people who love each other want completely different things.”
IndieWire gave it a C, writing: “The Four Seasons is broaching the darker territory it typically only feigns toward. But it doesn’t last. The series is built to sustain those conversations, but it doesn’t evolve enough to allow space for them to land.”
The AV Club gave it a B, writing: “Buying into The Four Seasons’ second season requires forgoing logic; expect the more dramatic scenes to sap some of the show’s charms. 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. “
RogerEbert.com says: “We can laugh at the vagaries of getting older without positing that they’re the only thing there is. And getting to do that with Kenney-Silver, Fey, and Domingo is a real joy, delivering on the promise of this series in its second outing. Some things really do get better with age.”
Variety notes: “The acting remains solid. However, aside from the summer and winter episodes, Season 2 simply doesn’t have the whimsy of its predecessor.”
USA Today says: “There are few series on TV that deal with this period of adulthood ? not quite young, not quite old ? with such nuance.”
