What previously seemed like a novelty, isn't fully realized here, and the characters aren't as compelling. Nevertheless, the story is very well developed, maintains the mystery, and its resolution lives up to expectations. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Donn A @RT58687407 Mar 23 great touch on a whodunit with elaborate sequence and good cast See more Tommy G. @grubbdogg Jan 26 Not a funny as the first season. The story telling was still great and unique. See more Jen E. @bitterpayment Sep 1 Great acting and creative See more Kim B @RT86564524 Jul 1 Such creative tv! I loved the first season, so campy and fun. So, I expected no less from Season 2. Loved the quirky Wes Anderson vibe, the characters in this season aren't as like-able, I still loved it! Really bummed AppleTV cancelled because it was competing with Murders in the Building. Both great shows in a different way. See more emily F @RT10252807 04/16/2025 This show rules.
