Well, I’m glad I stuck around for the second season of this show even though I wasn’t particularly thrilled about the first one. This HBO show now certainly deserves all the accolades it prematurely (in my opinion) got showered with.
What I mean to say is that I was a little surprised when it won, among other awards, 1 DGA, 1 WGA, 4 Emmys, 2 Golden Globes, and 2 SAGs after it’s first season, which I honestly found interesting but still budding. I can’t imagine what it will win after its second go round!!
The drama intensified, the writing sharpened and deepened, the acting was better than ever, and the costumes, cinematography, and art design retained the highest quality that Martin Scorsese infused the pilot with.
If you haven’t checked this show out yet, rent both seasons and watch them back to back. It’s like a good wine that improves with age. And the finale’s cliffhanger left me aghast and shocked at the thought of having to wait a whole year before being able to find out what happens next.
Grade – Season 2: 9
