It isn’t until the final episode that the scripts kick Kate firmly into drama territory that will, no doubt, anchor Season 3. She acts like a character far younger than her years, a fact unaided by the bad 2000s-era wigs and fashions she’s saddled with. She’s just too goofy, punctuating every scene with a shoulder shimmy or a too-wide grin. And considering they broke up during Season 1, the crux of Season 2 is the inevitable “will they get back together” narrative that is easily deduced the first time Kate has a sex dream about him.Ĭhalke has always played Kate as awkwardly as the character’s last name, and it’s never really believable to see her play the character as a girl nerd with an inner perv just dying to break out. There’s something pat about watching how the two decide to get married and start their life together. Once the story transitions to the 2000s, it’s still very much about Kate and Johnny’s relationship, and the performances are equally one-note. The relationship between Johnny and Kate anchors Chalke’s story this season, and it can be a little much watching the two canoodle endlessly throughout the 1980s portion of the story (that is, when Johnny isn’t chronically saying “Ma-LARK-y” in his Australian accent). At one point, Tully confronts her attacker, and Skovbye shows what a fighter Tully is, speaking authoritatively and confidently.īut less time spent with the teens gives Chalke and Heigl more time to carry the show, and they need to because a lot of plot happens in nine episodes. Skovbye’s face charts the conflict of a teenage girl who wants to be a sexual being but struggles with how to do that when sex is filtered through violence. Skovbye continues to get the best opportunities to act, particularly as her character struggles through ongoing trauma from her sexual assault last season. The young girls are still great, particularly in this season’s second episode, “On the Road,” but they aren’t integrated into the main narrative as much as in Season 1. So if you enjoyed Ali Skovbye and Roan Curtis as young Tully and Kate, respectively, they take a bit of a backseat this season. Still talking place over three crucial periods in Tully and Kate’s lives - the 1970s, ’80s, and 2000s - the script understands it needs to pare things down to wrap everything up. Happily, it all seems to work better than last season, perhaps because audiences are now primed to expect a certain level of theatricality (and bad wigs!) with their melodrama. The show has always been kooky, but this first half culminates with a race to say goodbye between two characters tuned to Coldplay’s “The Scientist”! Series creator Maggie Friedman is close to hitting “Grey’s Anatomy”-levels of intensity in terms of both emotions and the way popular music can become indelible in a scene. Everything feels bigger this season: the emotions, the acting, the music budget.
