“Woke is my coke.”
Laughed out loud with this one-liner from the left-wing slam poet Marie. For the rest, there was precious little to laugh at and the drama dominated more than ever. Where the previous season ended in bitter tears with a miscarriage, here they went one step further and ended Benjamin in the friend zone with a dead father. Throughout the series, Benjamin and Billie are yelling at each other. Really not enjoyable.
Charlotte Timmers is one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of the moment, but she cannot straighten things out. Jeroen Perceval still plays an equally annoying character. Every episode was a struggle for me to survive the misery and bickering.
The final message seems to be that the polarization between left and right is too bad to build an amorous relationship. I don't think things are going that fast. In my experience, what Thierry Baudet once said about this is true, namely that left-wing women change their minds quite quickly if you talk about politics enough. My own wife was also very left-wing when I met her as a VUB student. After ten years she passed me on the right without me really doing anything about it. I would like to end the review with this hopeful conclusion.

Just like season 1, I didn't think this 2nd season was that successful either. Indeed, Billie and Benjamin are shouting at each other all the time, and you wonder what those two even see in each other. There is little room for nuance and the whole thing actually leads to irritation.
I don't think the series is super bad either, it just could have been something much better with a more subtle approach. Now and then there is a funny moment or a pointed observation, but there are mainly a lot of clichés and few flesh and blood people. The dramatic moments are so pathetic that I can't get further than 2 stars.
Normally I would have passed on this second season, but ironically I got in because my girlfriend wanted to watch. The pace is good, so it wasn't a real punishment, but this is still one of the weaker series that I have watched in the last 20 years.
