Season Two.
Aired On: Netflix.
Release Date: 05/28/26.
Genre: Comedy. Romance.
The Verdict: A Maybe
A year ago, I ended my season one review with high hopes for season two, but maybe I should have kept my trap shut.
The friend group of Kate, Jack, Claude, Danny, Anne, and Ginny attempts to upkeep their seasonal group trips since the loss of Nick.
This season is mostly everyone torturing each other through their own emotions without any meaningful growth. The show wants you to believe Jack has overcome his grief or that Danny and Claude will finally work things out, but I just don't buy it. The show also tries way too hard to make us care about Nick, even devoting an entire flashback episode to bringing Steve back.
Nothing feels new, so the lack of character growth becomes impossible to ignore. I kept asking why these people even hang out anymore. They're trapped in a B&B with a murderer, no staff, no guests, and somehow we're expected to stay invested? Maybe that premise needed another pass in the writers' room. It's like season two of Nobody Wants This.
There are still some zippy lines and funny moments, but by the final episodes, I was ready for it to end. It never pushes itself beyond what season one already did.
Maybe this should have stayed a single, self-contained season that honored the original film instead of stretching the story thin.
