Season two dropped on Netflix today. It's silly and soapy but I'm unwell and can't be arsed with anything too serious right now so I'm binge-watching. Anyone else watching?

I watched season 1, so will be watching 🙂

wishing3 · 02/12/2022 22:28

Ooh thanks for the heads up! I’ll watch.

MrsJamin · 02/12/2022 22:31

I remember watching this but I literally cannot remember anything that happened so I have a feeling it was really bad! Not sure it is worth continuing with? Can anyone report back if it is?!

tribpot · 02/12/2022 22:31

Just started episode 1 of season 2. Reminded me once again how good the teen versions of the main characters are. I don't have much hopes of this season but let's see!

The young Kate looks a lot like Reese Witherspoon and I think that's Reese's son with a bit part on the first ep where they're playing spin the bottle.

Ive just binged watched it all. OMG the ending :(
I feel its left me so sad.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

In the first episode I wasn't keen on Malarky [ The older version] They young versions are fab!

XanaduKira · 05/12/2022 01:13

I'm up to episode 4 but find this season boring compared to the first season. I will stick with it though as it's not bad enough to ditch without concluding it!

This was only part 1 of season 2, the next half airs next year and that'll conclude the series.

I'm struggling with the main theme of season 2 so far being why Johnny Ryan appears to be god's gift to women. So far Kate has only been interesting in the flash forward scenes when she's had the fight with Tully.

isthismylifenow · 05/12/2022 19:29

I finished watching it today.

I am very underwhelmed.

Is there a spoiler alert? If not here goes....

It took nearly the entire season to show the car accident which was at the end of last season....

It was so drawn out, it could have been 5 episodes long imo

What was Kate's real issue for cutting Tully off so badly. Surely Mara told her what happened.... Seeing as she set up the meet.

And now she has hit rock bottom, Tully must just forget how Kate cut her off

And now we have to wait until June to see what is going on 10 years later...

Nah I doubt I will bother.

AbsoluteYawns · 06/12/2022 13:46

Just binge watched it. OMG the ending and we have to wait til JUNE?!?!!?

The moment Kate mentioned the rash I figured out where it was going.

I can't remember from the first series but did Tully and Johnny actually have a fling? Or just lots of unresolved sexual tension?

Can we post spoilers here? I would like to discuss!
I think Jonny and Tully did have a thing in series 1

I did, but I'd also like to discuss it so I'll ask MHHQ to amend the title....

JuneOsborne · 07/12/2022 07:02

I enjoyed it for the escapism it is.

I knew too the minute she mentioned the rash.

I like sports guy! I'd have liked to have seen that go somewhere.

MN have edited the title (thank you).

I was complaining to my friend about the 10 years later bit right at the end, but she missed that had already turned it off.

I was about to when I realised it wasn't quite finished.

And neither of them looked 10 years older might I add 🙄

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 07/12/2022 11:20

Johnny’s wig needs a thread on its own!

😂Yes, wasn't it awful.

Kate's weren't great either though...

I missed the 10 years later too! Just watched it now. So I guess we're meant to think Kate died and Tully and Johnny are now getting married? But I'm sure there's a twist...

Also, Johnny looked fit 10 years later with his short hair and glasses! Much better than wigmagheddon.

I think he is quite fit most of the time. Just not when sporting the worst wig ever.

The wedding plot, just sigh, they want us rushing back in June 23.

I'll stroll, possibly.

I hear the books were great. The series imo , not so much.

XanaduKira · 07/12/2022 14:58

I've just finished watching and agree, feel completely underwhelmed.

I know Tully is self absorbed and puts herself first, but actually thought Kate was totally out of order cutting her off as harshly as she did. Tully shouldn't have driven the car after she'd been drinking but she was rescuing Mara and didn't consider herself to be over the limit, nor was the accident actually her fault. Kate could have been angry and given her both barrels, but cutting her off like that was cruel.

Also, it took too long to actually get to the car accident.

As for 10 years later - what a crock of shit. Plot twist will be its Jonny & Kate - she wanted to wait until her treatment was all clear so they waited 10 years. Tully will be getting ready for a premiere or will be marrying Sports Guy, but she won't be marrying Jonny.

Agree 10 years later Jonny definitely looked the best version!

Yes, or it'll be Mara's wedding or Tully marrying Danny and Johnny giving her away.

OP posts:
XanaduKira · 07/12/2022 21:31

Mara's wedding is a good shout, especially now that gay marriage is legal, as they reference Kate's brother not being allowed to get married to a man in Washington and that he should go to Massachussetts to do it!

Cleopatra67 · 07/12/2022 21:33

Binge watched it at the weekend. Utter nonsense but just what I needed.
