Betty manages to deliver the same slice-of-life charm of season one, even while set against the sobering reality of a global pandemic and the feverish June protests.
Betty is best when it gives viewers the near-documentary sense that they're just embedded with these young women. Things come together beautifully by the season finale.
As before, Betty remains a mix of gentle comedy and unexpectedly potent drama. Kirt is still the primary source of laughs, particularly as her lessons to the skater boys about how to treat women better go off the rails.
