"The second season is so, so much better. The stunning art direction is back. Expect to see Kristen Wiig 's Maxine in the most delightful fashion of the early 1970s, from her clothes to her makeup to her hair styling. Indeed, all our Palm Beach ladies are decked out in the decade's best, and it's lovely to see. Likewise, the sets with their mod architecture and period touches continue the visual feast."
"The first eight and a half episodes of the ten-part series are jam-packed with plot. Murder! Sex! Money! It's all here, swirling around Max as she works to cement her place in the echelons of Florida's high society. Thankfully, this time, she's not trying to ascend to Dinah's (The other problem was, Leslie Bibb) and Evelyn's ( Allison Janney) level of unseemly wealth-Max is their peer now."
Season two returns with stunning art direction, meticulous 1970s fashion, and mod period sets that create a vivid visual feast. The ten-part series accelerates its pace, with the first eight and a half episodes jam-packed with murder, sex, and money that drive Max's efforts to cement her place in Florida high society. Max is now a peer to Dinah and Evelyn, removing the prior class-striving conflict. Faster pacing introduces plot holes, but the series embraces its silly, comedic identity and prioritizes fun and vibes over strict narrative logic. The cast's comedic talents, especially Wiig and Janney, are fully showcased.
