Thank You, Next Season 2 Review
Season 1 Season 2 Episode Guide #TakotsuboCardiomyopathy #Friendzone #CatchMeIfYouCan #MicroCheating #RingRing #CloudNine #TurningPoint #Bunjeejumping Everyone's favourite messy romance is back, and Thank you, Next certainly doubles down on that theme in its follow-up season. With another 8 episodes of entangled drama, interpersonal issues and romantic confliction for our protagonist Leyla to handle, fans of the show certainly have more than enough to sink their teeth into here. The story this time around picks up not long after the events of season 1. At the end of the finale, Leyla walked away from Omer in dramatic fashion, wedding dress billowing in the wind as she walked away from the camera in a rather iconic and empowering statement – our girl was not about to take any crap from the men in her life. Season 2 then picks up with Leyla ready to start anew, at least on the surface anyway. She's still at the same job, the same apartment and with the same circle of people around her. Furthermore, she's still entangled in the same romantic dilemmas as before. I mean, we wouldn't have much of a season if she didn't, right? Leyla decides to wipe her hands of Omer (whom we'll circle back to in a minute) and puts her energy into Cem instead. She goes all-in on their potential relationship, but Defne is still there in the wings, waiting to strike like a venomous spider. Across this season she weaves her web of deceit through numerous characters, injecting Leyla with a lethal dose of doubt in her own credentials and as a possible partner for Cem. Things do take a wild few turns this year, especially as a long, dark secret from the past involving Cem's family threatens to undo everything. While this is going on, Omer has his own subplot this season. After being kicked out of Leyla's life (save for the odd message here and there to keep up appearances) he spirals and begins drinking. He gets into fights and ultimately ends up on house arrest. From here, Omer goes on somewhat of a redemption arc, determined to turn his life around in one of the surprising high points of the season. It's a nice turn of events for this character, but it's also a little annoying how this is constantly used as a tool to drum up conflicting feelings in Leyla's life. Naturally, season 2 revels in the misunderstandings, distrust, betrayals and interpersonal messiness that made season 1 such an intriguing and disastrous hybrid of drama. However, in terms of substance, there really isn't a whole lot here to sink your teeth into and season 2 never reinvents itself in a meaningful way. With the show already greenlit for season 3 though, it does feel like a lot of the drama here is overloaded with contrived drama. including a court case that's teased and left to spill over for next season, while Cem's character arc is designed to give Leyla even more of a headache this time around. While the second season still retains the chaotic charm that made the first so captivating, it also feels like it doesn't have many more tricks left up its sleeve. The plot is overly long, bloated and chaotically supercharged with contrived drama. Leyla's journey remains engaging enough to keep fans invested but it may not resonate as strongly as the first season did.
