The second season begins with a new series of strong events, as tensions between women, Boomer and Mary Pat seem to reach a boiling point during a very difficult time. On the other hand, Pitt must intervene when Kenny has problems at school that could lead to his isolation, and Annie seems to be in a critical position with Greg and Nancy during that period.
This kind of television show shouldn't feel as rare as it does - an intelligent yarn that's broadly accessible, that's digested easily and satisfyingly while still provoking hunger for more.
The first season introduced Beth and the gang to the crime, now they have to deal with the consequences. But it's great fun to watch, because of the show's winking combo of guilt and domestic unbliss.
