Overall I enjoyed the season. I did find a few things frustrating or puzzling.
Why did it matter so much that Sol slept with Frankie? He was married to her for 40 years. I know it is cheating on his current relationship but it isn't like he picked up some stranger or worse started having feelings for a new man. It was old and familiar and he regretted it. I just couldn't see how Robert would want to end their 20 year relationship over that one indiscretion particularly since they had been cheating for 20 years themselves.
If you were in Babe's position, would you ask a friend to help you die? She seemed very capable of doing this herself. She could put together an entire party. Couldn't she have mixed up her own toxic poison? I get why she wanted to control her own death in her circumstances. But I would never ask someone to help me if I could do it on my own. Why take the chance they might get caught doing something illegal.

Why take the chance they might get caught doing something illegal. If my husband was divorced and went and slept with his xwife after we had combined our households and made a commitment to exclusivety I would be pissed too, I don't care if he did it for 40 years if he said he was committed to me it isn't okay for him to go back and screw her or anybody else Although it illustrates the old saying if he will do it with you he will do it to you I think the first season kind of made their relationship seem so rosy and ideal and I liked that part of the plot line gave Sol some moral complexity and maybe validated the exwives a bit and made it to where the guys had to go through some of their pain and struggle |

I liked this season but I wanted to see a bit more of the kids. Last season, there was definitely some history between the pregnant daughter and Coyote. Like a teenage pregnancy, etc that they alluded to.
I also noticed that her husband was not in it this season. Wonder if it was cost savings or he wasn't available.

brianna was great this season. I thought the relationship between frankie and grace was very entertaining. I didn't really care for the mens storyline. I'm bummed season 2 is done. I binged!

Why take the chance they might get caught doing something illegal. I wondered as well why Robert was so put out by Sols "indiscretion", especially since Sol told him it was the ending, like putting a period on a sentence. I also think that Robert doesn't like Sols relationship with Frankie...they were friends, not just a couple that were married like Robert and Grace. I'm not sure why Babe couldn't do it herself. I did think it was strange that she had Frankie do that for her. Hope in the future Frankie doesn't get in trouble for that. I also liked the kids better this season. Brianna was a little rough last season, I thought she was better this year. I really like this show, I hope they continue making episodes. |

I just about died laughing over the we're going to make vibrators for people with arthritis. That was such a funny way to end the series.

Wonder if it was cost savings or he wasn't available.I couldn't remember if the husband was at the hospital with all of them or not. I guess not. There were so many people and so much going on. I think they must be writing him out since Mallory thinks, and sure is, behaving like he is having an affair. If he is, it will be something for Robert to see how it is for his daughter to be cheated on after he cheated on Grace all those years. |

I think Brianna has more of a purpose and is very good at running Grace's business. She still isn't someone I'd want to spend a lot of time with but I appreciate her business acumen and her patience with Frankie who wore my patience all that palm oil stuff. I did think it was funny her going through the jewelry at the end. She kept asking if it was free to take. I would have taken that gold ring. |

I'm not a big TV person but I love this show! I admit I liked season one better but this season wasn't bad. I binge watched so now I'm sad it's over. lol I really hope there's a season three.
I liked the complexity of Sol cheating on Robert. For 20+ years they cheated on their wives with each other and now Sol cheats on Robert with his ex-wife. It was interesting to see Robert's reaction. I think he was so upset not simply because Sol cheated. I think it was a combination of A) being cheated on B) who his partner cheated with and C) knowing/feeling/understanding what he had done to his wife.
Personally, if my partner soon-to-be spouse cheated with his ex I'd be beyond upset and willing to end the relationship. Cheating is cheating but, for me, cheating with someone with whom you have a history is worse because it's not just physical... you're sharing more than a few minutes of scratching an itch so to speak. lol
I didn't care for the last couple episodes. I am in Babe's position. I have terminal cancer. I personally would not ever do what she did. I believe suicide is both selfish and cowardly. I also am not God, it's not my decision to make. I know though that others feel differently. As for Babe, I took it as she was physically capable of doing this on her own but that she felt she wasn't emotionally/mentally capable and therefore asked Frankie to help her. It will be interesting to see if there's any fall-out but given the last episode I think it's a done deal.
I'd like to see more about the kids' stories. I really like Brionna (sp?). I love how she handled Frankie and all her weirdness/nonsense about the lube and palm oil. I love how Frankie "demanded" 9 million?! lol Her character is great but lord she would drive me crazy if she was a real person that I knew.
I loved Brionna going through the box of jewelry. I also loved the episode with Coyotes birth mother. I spit Coke out my nose when Frankie whipped the hot sauce at her, "coming in hot".
Yeah I really hope there's a season 3.

I'm very sorry for your situation. I don't think there will be any fall-out for Frankie either. It just isn't something I would ask someone else to help me with. There was a lot in these episodes. The scenes with Coyote's birth mother were funny until I wanted to strangle the woman for coming out there and not telling him that this was it - one visit and he couldn't come visit her. That was cruel. It was all about her wanting to be sure he was ok. |
