Season two completes the excitement and challenges where the first season stops that follows the musical Broadway of Marine Monoro and the tax of celebrity and the challenges each one faces, in order to achieve such success. In this new season, Karen becomes a superstar after the show in Boston.
The slightly meta flavor is promising, because it mends the frayed bond between the show and its disenchanted viewers by proving that it actually listens to them.
Smash is also a little less "let's put on a show," more "let's figure out a TV narrative." That's the most practical direction, but it also makes it all feel a little more earthbound.
