Season 1 was "brilliant" as Tony says, but season 2 was a clear step down for me. Right away, the basic plot line has been reset - which makes the whole season feel very repetitive. As some other reviewers have also pointed out, I also am beginning to find Tony's two tones of self sorrow or overzealous spieling to be getting a little repetitive and borderline annoying too (although sometimes funny).
Definitely the worst part of the season is this psychiatrist character being continually incorporated. He's a disgusting character (which is fine) but doesn't really add anything at all to show - zero comedy effect, zero character development for Tom (who's seeing him now), and he's not really even an antagonist. So, he just seems like a filler character who's extremely unpleasant to watch.
I was hoping Season 2 would be the next phase of Tony's grieving as he starts to overcome his loss while trepidly beginning to see a new woman, but no, it's all just reset - and I wouldn't be surprised if it's just to squeeze an extra season out of this premise, as I'm sure this was renewed for at least two more seasons from Netflix after the first one was such a success - and once his "grieving" is gone, it's not really the same show anymore, is it?
