Netflix Debuts The Four Seasons Season 2 With All 8 Episodes as Review Says Series Stalls

All eight episodes of “The Four Seasons” Season 2 landed on Netflix on May 28, bringing back Tina Fey, Colman Domingo and Will Forte after Season 1 ended with Nick’s death and Ginny’s pregnancy reveal.
Season 2 largely pushes ahead with the show’s quarterly-vacation format instead of reworking the group dynamic around that loss, leaving Steve Carell’s absence and an underused Ginny storyline at the center of the criticism.
The review says the series remains only intermittently funny and poignant, arguing it avoids fully embracing either grief-driven drama or broader comedy despite the cast’s strengths.
Kerri Kenney-Silver’s arc, Fey and Domingo’s rapport, and Episode 4—written and directed by Tracey Wigfield—are cited as standout elements in a season described as no better than Season 1 and hurt by wasted potential.
Did critics miss a subtle take on grief in 'The Four Seasons,' or did the show simply waste its potential?
