466rip, rita castillo 💔 🥺
it's amazing how everything turned upside down. it was expected that the main villain of the season will be the heroine Lana, but in fact you will sympathize with her almost more than anyone else. the transformation of Alma from sweet tikhona to a crazy truck, ready to cut anyone on its way, just blows the brain. I don't know about you, but I didn't immediately notice that she had completely gone, like there were glimpses of adequacy in the middle of the season, and then bang-so sharply — and she's ready to bury everyone. I was killed:
- mom, you and dad are murderers, you better give up, it's wrong...
— why don't you tell me I look great?"...
it's justл Allison Tolman is great in her crazy roll!
the main question of the season is still open: where did Alma get so many beautiful expensive outfits, if their income from Bertha did not grow much? like they didn't have any extra money before, and then they suddenly appeared when Alma decided to become a serial killer?
it's a shame, of course, for two cousins, Rita and Isabel. they were also the decoration of this season. Rita is a delight to the eyes, every image of her is a dump of everything, and Isabel's sparkling jokes are just the best.
for Dee and Verna sincerely glad, a good strong family. The scooter is also happy at the end of the season, let it be satisfied with the attention that is finally directed at it. as someone below noted in the comments, which I agree with, it seems that only with Rita he did not wear a mask, he was himself. with the rest, it seems to play the right role.
I expected a little more from the finale, to be honest. Catherine was not shown, somehow everything happened very quickly and clumsily. I caught a spoiler about Rita's death before watching it, and even from this scene I expected more emotions. in general, I liked the season, in terms of the plot, the first, of course, is inferior, but also in its own way good. thank you so much to the showrunners and actors, great job, guys!
and God, invite Lana Parria to Season Three, please, she's such a goddess, we need more ❤ ️ ❤
Bertie:
- Honey, I can't keep up with you, you're always one kill ahead of me.
🤣👍🏻
who's in red, that's the boss)
by the way, at the time of the murders in the first season, all three main characters were in red just right.
apparently Cherry has a thing for red.
It also seems to me that only with Rita, the Scooter is sincere and real. With the rest, he plays the image.
Alma bought a gun, her husband's reaction:
- You scared me!
- Did I scare you?!
A great plan, Alma, reliable as a Swiss watch.
By the way, on the one hand, it is right that Rita was silent about the child, but on the other hand, she was not. The situation here is ambiguous.
I was pleased with Grace - after all, a really kind soul. I didn't rat on Rita, but on the contrary, I talked to her like a human being.
Bertie was pleased that he finally found the strength to confess everything.
With Rita, I still hoped for a favorable outcome, but given the format of the series and the confrontation with Alma, it was not worth waiting for anything else.
Bertie - Well, wife, you give. She beat me on the murder front.
Scooter remained true to himself :)) He is making progress in the field of gigolo.
The sign is gorgeous - "Alma Filcot and the Bloody Garden".
In general, the series is very good, it was generally dispersed by the finale. The actors are well done, they played their images smartly.
In the whole story, I feel most sorry for Isabel and a little for Catherine:(Isabela was the only one who killed out of really noble motives - protecting her cousin from assault and, possibly, even death. Catherine took up the gun because she was almost systematically driven by endless lies and betrayal.
Everyone else, imho, got what they deserved. Rita-for the murder of Carlos, although it did not take place (he survived her attempt not because Rita did not want and did not try seriously, but because of the prevailing external circumstances. So it can be safely considered a killer). Bertram and Alma-for all their victims.
I'm glad Dee and Vernon are okay. But I couldn't help wondering what kind of heredity the child has? On one line - two serial killers in grandparents, on the other-a father who does not shine with intelligence... But the idyllic picture of the family at the end of the series still pleased:)
I agree with the narrator, the story ends with quite a happy ending. Now I want the third season about someone else:)
It is worth remembering only how horrified she was when she realized that her husband was a maniac. But Bertram did not threaten her in any way and generally remained in everything except his little hobby, a good person familiar to Alma, a kind person and an animal lover. And Alma had a perception shift. In the end, she even became angry, as it seems to me, more because he was hiding something from her, and not because of the nature of his actions. In addition, she must have had some inclinations of her own, since she was able to go so far on her own that she killed several people.
In general, what is the result? Since the killer does not cause either fear or disgust (well, of course, the beloved husband!), then his actions also do not seem so terrible. For Alma, murder went from the category of taboo, which she did not dare to think about, let alone commit, to the category of unpleasant, but ordinary things at first, then into the best and even the only way to solve problems, and in the end, as she confesses to Bertram in one of the last conversations, into pleasure.
And she doesn't even have such an excuse as a traumatic childhood event.
And although Alma caused less and less empathy for me as a viewer, the development (or would it be more accurate to say "degradation"?) it was very interesting to watch her character.
Isabella was beautiful, she loved scenes with her very much.
I am not, and your comment is offensive to me.
If Catherine hadn't returned home earlier, Rita would have killed Carlos without the slightest remorse. She changed later, yes, but you can't take away the things she did.
Well, this is what Alma wanted, and this is what she got.
But, as usual, by distorting reality in his head...
If you look, for example, in the Cambridge Dictionary , here is what we have: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/infamous
The only definition that is given there, I quote: "famous for something considered bad" -known for something that is considered bad.
For comparison, there is another dictionary with a similar definition: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/infamous
Specifically, the narrator's speech still had infamy, that is, infamy, but the words are of the same root, and the definition is the same: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/infamy
Dishonor is somewhat different, though.
This is a direct quote (and therefore highlighted with quotes). The version from the dubbing studio.
They took advantage of the richness and diversity of the Russian language and correctly used the word "dishonor".
The version of "bad PR is also PR" is scarce.
Here they offered the glory of Herostratus. And it's not even close to a literal translation, but the wash of the original conveys much better.
You took the phrase out of context (don't do that), and translated it with a dictionary. Well, your version, taken out of context, is correct.
but! In the aggregate of all the actions of the heroine, the dubbing studio has chosen the right word.
P.S. Gerostratus planned and set fire to the village deliberately and solely for the sake of notoriety. Alma didn'T kill for fame. Becoming famous for murder was not part of her plans. I remind you that, on the contrary, she tried to carefully hide all her illegal actions.
She evaded responsibility and hid the traces of her crimes due to her meager mental abilities.
The revelation was an unexpected and shocking event for her, which finally hit her psyche. Because it was NOT part of the plans.
Firstly, the phrase was not taken out of context by me. Just in the context of the scene - where Alma, going to court, introduces herself on the red carpet - notoriety is appropriate. After all, Alma presents herself as a heroine, not a spat upon and ridiculed criminal. This is what the offscreen narrator says.
Secondly, Alma wanted to become famous and killed precisely for the sake of fame and recognition. Initially, her goal was a gardening club, not a courtroom. Murders were out of the ordinary for her, but she decided on them for her own purpose. But by the time the path brought Alma to trial and she found herself in the spotlight, she had already gone too far in her madness. This is exactly what the narrator emphasized, saying that in the end, Alma even enjoyed notoriety - because it is fame.
And thirdly, Herostratus did not burn the village, but the temple of Artemis. You mentioned a myth without really knowing it. Don't do that :)
Perhaps "infamy" would be closer, because it is the same root as "glory", as in the original. But don't find fault with every word, by God.
The suit got on her. So other things also quietly moved, and Mrs. Just's nephew most likely could not know what was in his aunt's closet, he only noticed the loss of household and interior things
It was like she became Rita, even became the president of the club, finally got rid of who she was before. So in her head she really achieved a triumph, I think.
Alma: "I killed Rita"
I didn't expect Alma to hate Rita SO much that she would want her dead....a bloody vendetta in all its glory. 🌚
Here, in the comments under the last episode, they tried to prove to me that Rita is much better than Alma, but...I still stand by my reinforced concrete opinion that both are good and worth each other.
As for Catherine and Isabella, I knew they wouldn't be happy in the final :/ I don't know if it's good or bad, but what it is, it is…
I am sincerely happy for Dee, after all these events, she deserves happiness!
I'm really looking forward to the third season, because the series is listed in favorites 🔥✨
One of them was killing people right and left for the ladies' club. How can this be compared at all
I can't consider it a happy ending, even despite the music at the end. Although the words that Alma got her attention and finally became happy are worth a lot. It seems to me that in the modern world, many of us do not know what we want, and whether they will be happy if they get the desire - the goal definitely does not justify the means, judging by this season.
Alma just went off the rails out of envy and killed everyone indiscriminately. There is no sympathy for the character, and there is not much interest.
The ending is generally zero, especially considering how Rita was leaked
The first season is mostly about just retribution or jealousy.
The second one is for the sake of achieving the goal.
If there is a third one, it is quite possible that they will choose a different motive. It would be strange to film on the same subject.
In the first, the actors ' play, plausibility, the plot is not clumsy and logical (where does Alma get money for dresses starting from the 3rd series)
It's just creepy: Alma with two facial expressions, Catherine there too.
At the same time, it's nice to see how many others played interesting. But I just wanted to squander the series
Of course, I expected Alma's heroine to be reborn and give up her principles, but I didn't expect the flask to shine so much.
The ending is great, especially the scene where she goes like a "star."
Bert left the way he wanted to and when he wanted to. Unlike his victims...
Dee probably has a psychological trauma... But a husband and child will help.
Rita... Well... I can't say she deserved it... It would have been better if she hadn't gone to Alma to figure it out, but had left with a Scooter... But Scooter lives peacefully without it.
I liked the season. But Alma didn't have enough motive... I don't consider her mental disorder as a motive for WHY WOMEN ARE KILLED!
Yes, Alma's desire for fame and appreciation is shown in a very exaggerated way in the series, but there are people in life who want to be noticed.
So Alma just had a gynecologist and psychiatrist, but it was the ' 60s, the glory of ignorance among the masses and blinkers ;D
There is early, there is normal, there is late.
60 years old is just a late x)
I didn't expect that everything would turn out this way with Rita, I thought Grace was standing somewhere around the corner to help her:(
Bertie.. He paid for all his sins and left the way he wanted to. However, Alma turned out to be a big monster for me, not Bertram the serial killer who had been doing this for so many years, but an ordinary quiet housewife who, due to self-doubt, lack of attention and support from her family, became just a completely different person to make her dreams come true, along the way becoming a serial killer herself, in unlike her husband, doing this with extreme cruelty and without any childhood trauma. When she decided to leave a souvenir from her husband, the goosebumps went away, she became so unrecognizable.
I'm glad for Dee and Verna, it's good that they didn't touch them. 🥺
there were good moments, the actors and costumers just bravo, but the screenwriters let us down a little:(Alma didn't deserve a good ending, even like this
Apparently, the desire to become a better person pushed Alma over the edge of her psyche, because I can't explain these murders in any other way, a la "He/she is bothering me, I need a prick". Even though she tried to get out of the way and avoid the cops, fate decreed otherwise. She wanted attention, and she got it.
I feel sorry for Bertie and Rita. Him, because he loved his wife so much that he refused to see the bad in her until the last moment (And Rita just got, if I may say so, into a hot hand. Maybe if she hadn't gone to the restaurant, she would have gone off quietly and lived happily ever after.
I am very glad that despite everything that is happening, Vern and Dee were able to move on!
Rita 💔
And Rita is gorgeous in any outfit. 💖
I thought the end of the last episode would kill your mother, but no, it turned out there were flowers.
Alma is a maniac horror
One day, Lana's heroines will have a happy ending (yes, I don't think Regina has a decent ending in OATS)
, but this ending with Rita broke my heart. The
only thing that pleased me was that Dee, Vern and their baby were okay.
It's a shame that in the end they didn't mention her in any way at the end, although she is one of the main characters of the series...
Judging by the ending, Alma has already had a cuckoo.
, and the outfits alone
are probably the most favorite.
Lana is the decoration of this season 💎
'Here's what I've come to learn about Alma Fillcot. She is a sweet-talking vampire, and if she'd fought for the Nazis, we'd all be speaking German.'
Alma "didn't come in" to me from the very beginning, but in the end - what a crazy bastard she was at heart. It is a pity that due to the fact that she initially led the image of a klusha and lamented the beautiful of this world, a lot of people suffered. But everything was in her hands and could have been different.
Well, at least Dee and Verna have a happy ending. Although no, not only that - the Scooter was also not ignored.
I liked Bertie's character- he's solid, understandable, with his childhood trauma, well-written (I don't like him, but there are no questions for the Persian) .
Everything is clear with Dee, too, a good quick-witted girl with complexes. Scooter is a gigolo, he doesn't care who he's with, as long as he gets walked.
But Alma-Rita-Verne-Catherine, forgive me, but this is a misunderstanding, not the characters. Alma goes crazy like a snap of her fingers and starts wetting everyone, turned on clothes (taken from nowhere) and her appearance. Rita instantly turns from a bitch into such a noble young lady, Vern is a detective who cannot put 2+2 together, does not look at the photos he took, but for some reason leads a case that is closed.
Catherine, the character, was introduced only to try to reveal other characters at her expense, but the creators forgot about Catherine herself. She just left and that's it. No one is looking for her. For some reason, detectives are not conducting this investigation.
Come on, they screwed up the plot, and then they decided: it'll do! I'm just disappointed. The only moment I liked in the finale was when Alma raises her hand with a white cape, and blood drips from it. Spectacular. As it was, everything was played perfectly, but these scenario holes were very eye-catching.
With Rita, the final is really muddy, I did not expect her death in any way, I wanted a little happiness for her, or at least a quiet life ...
In general, I liked the season ! Very bright characters, the picture is charming, black humor is good, viewing brought back to the times of Desperate Housewives ❤❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
And here it makes no sense
I am very grateful for the existence of such a character as the inimitable Alma Filmrage, because it is so rare to feel a constant surge of hatred when watching something. It's just a shame that the season has come down to the height of madness in this woman. I wanted to see some kind of justice, but on the contrary, she only got high on the path to death. and, of course, I wanted to see my beloved Rita again in a beautiful outfit and in a new life, not dead))
I didn't like the season at all. The beginning was incredibly intriguing, but then I lost interest. Alma's behavior eventually lost all sense of reason and turned into mania, which eventually began to repel me. I was also unhappy with the outcome, but the whole story led to something like this, it was hardly possible to turn everything around and do it completely differently.
Yes, I understand that the series is about the reasons why women are killed - this is the essence of Alma's behavior. but by the end it was already over the edge. not my moral ideas, if anything. it just became the same.
on the positive side: cast, music, some storylines, atmosphere. I continue to admire the picture, in general, it was she who made me watch it to the end. Of course, the storylines of Dee, Rita at the end of the season, and Bertram aroused my sympathy, but I could not fully understand them.
I've been enjoying the video series for the 2nd season already) and the reasons to kill women, of course))
I was already prepared for Alma to completely lose her mind and kill the entire gardening club) or do something equally creepy.
The final scene is, of course, gorgeous :) Madness in all its glory
Overall, after finishing the second season, it's safe to say that it was beautiful, good, but weaker than the first
Bertram's death is logical, he died from his own weapon, although, to be honest, I felt a little sorry for him.
Alma got what she wanted-fame, fame, attention. It's clear that her cuckoo has been gone for a long time, but I didn't have enough of her awareness of everything she had done, and if not remorse, then at least understanding that everything was over, she was caught and would be punished. And it turned out to be a personal happy ending for her.
I'm glad that Dee and Vern are doing well. I waited until the last moment for Rita to appear, miraculously surviving, but it didn't happen, alas. Katherine's a devil, she made a fuss and ran away.
In general, I liked the season, atmospheric, beautiful, sometimes glamorous, I will not compare with the first one - they are different and each is beautiful in its own way
The idea of drawing parallels between the main characters is interesting, but how absurdly it was played out in the end. Alma's development happened like a snap of her fingers and completely killed her past character, moreover, envy and the desire to be famous made her absolutely insensitive and ruthless, although there were no reasons to go crazy and become a psychopath as such.
For a person who loves crime fiction, Dee was just the height of naivety and gullibility, believing in any bullshit her mother put on her ears, even if it was very improbable.
Killing Rita is an interesting decision, but how badly it was played out. This is the power of gardening, that Alma was able to punch a woman's stomach and lower back with a screwdriver so clearly with a light movement of her hand.
And during the season, the series constantly bordered on absurdity, excessive theatricality and a desire to show some kind of realism, which, in the end, could not be done to the end. There are a lot of platitudes, silly actions from the characters and dubious "unexpected" plot twists.
But the work of the cameramen, costumers and designers is great.
So why do women kill? Because of stupidity? Out of envy? For revenge? Because they're psychopaths? Or is it because the scriptwriters cannot fully describe the development of the characters, their motivation and consequences?
Was there no security in the mansion of the richest man? They quietly went about their business. Well, yes, well, yes
Although the ending turned out to be crumpled, but also spectacular, too. I'm glad that everyone got what they deserved, but I'm very sorry for Ritka anyway.
there was some kind of incomprehensible residue after watching the season. There is no such "wow" effect that was after the first one. I've been moving away from the plot and impressions for a few days, but here...nothing. Yes, a good one, but no more.
The ending, where Alma gets the laurels of "popularity," is shot unbearably stunningly. What a strong transformation of the hero took place in 10 episodes..
And what a parallel to the outfits: red dresses. Ah!
Her actions are terrible, but what's more terrible is that she had no remorse in the end. And I really wanted to see the good Alma again!
Rita is not particularly sorry, she is far from a gift (she tried to drown her husband). And I think I would have tried my best to gain popularity again, by overthrowing Alma, if I had time to tell everyone. (for some reason, I thought there were cops in the car behind them, as Rita was desperately trying to get a confession.)
I really enjoyed the season. The atmosphere is gorgeous and you shouldn't compare it with the first season - they are completely different in motives. In the first, the emphasis was on husbands against wives (or women against men), and here on women against women.
There is no end. I was expecting some unexpected turnaround, but apart from Rita's death, nothing really surprised me. 😭
And the least of my concerns)))
I wonder how Dee got away with it. After all, her fingerprints are on the dead woman's belongings.
Where did Alma get the money for all these costumes and accessories? She didn't take it from Mrs. Eats all the time, did she?
Let's hope for a season 3 with an equally interesting story.
Bertie was also sorry at first glance, but when you slow down and remember that he also killed a lot of people, you think that his death might even be fair.
Alma is so disgusting, it seems like no character has ever annoyed me as much as she has. Sociopathy in all its manifestations.
On the one hand, I'm happy for Dee, now she has her own family and such a great loving husband, but it's hard to imagine how to live after such a truth about her parents.
Overall, the last episode was good, but the first season is still a favorite.
Vern and Dee are very sweet, they love each other so much)
P.S. The actress playing Alma is amazing
It was getting creepy.
After all, the first season was brighter and more unusual.
The second one is also not bad, but it did not overshadow the first one.
🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Very cool parallels, excellent actors (which is worth a couple of main characters, they are so cute and harmonious that you really believe in their love, mutual understanding, in general +++)
A great ending (the only thing missing was Katherine, it's a pity she was excluded from the final episode).
I enjoyed it immensely.: what is only a visual picture worth: these costumes, ladies' dresses, designs of houses, apartments, streets; the acting is as successful as possible, the main character's performance, as far as I'm concerned, did more than 100%, although few people remember her, but she touched me to the depths of my soul. Not everyone can survive such a tragedy that she has experienced.
Thanks to all the creators of the series, to everyone who worked on it, it's awesome)
I felt sorry for Alma in the beginning, but then she really turned into a crazy killer - the actress who played her is very good.
Rita is love, maybe I'm biased against this character, because Lana Parria is incredibly gorgeous and I've been in love with her for years
now, I wish Rita would do well, like, go with a scooter
It's a pity for Isabel, she's so good, she did everything for Rita and loved her.
The season came out great, but the plot fell a little short of my expectations.
he saw the two of them, and Alma also in a blue suit (which their neighbor was wearing). he could also see that they were on different cars and see
yes, the parallels are no longer the same (as in the first season), but it was still pretty cool to realize the story in one time period.
The actress playing Alma is great. His jaw dropped
Amazing madness! An unexpected ending. Marc Cherry has an incredible sense and understanding of women and conveys the finest facets of the feminine essence in his series, in all the characters, great cast and amazing acting!
PS The third season can be filmed because Daddario's family has three children and Catherine's third sister is also an actress.😁
This season is like those other series with a similar theme.
I am very glad that the couple Dee and Verna remained safe and together.
Alma got what she wanted anyway 😁
Somehow I didn't expect all this. I didn't have love with the ending. I don't know, there was no happy ending for anyone, one Scooter seemed to get away with it. It didn't affect him much.
Di... Well, I think she must have an injury. How to survive this at all xs. And it should be scary for a child with such genes. And I wouldn't want to be in Vern's place, I got related to a family of maniacs)
Catherine wasn't arrested, which is also a disappointment.
The moment when Alma raised her hands, and that blood - it, I admit, caused a crowd of goosebumps, chilled significantly, to the bones. But I couldn't enjoy it - the heavy burden on my heart from Rita's death just blurred everything.
A wonderful ending!!!
Your "caused a crowd of goosebumps, went well to the bone" testifies to the coolness of the season / series.
Oh, and by the way, unsolicited advice is bad form in the last century. On a side note.
I was surprised by Scooter's request to tell the child about himself
In general, I really liked the detective this season🤩 Cool person🤠
I was very pleased with the plot, insanely exciting and something new about murder and madness.😍
I was so glad to see Lana for a long time, after the OVC, and I really liked the actress who played Alma, she just got used to it😈
one. The exciting plot, vivid characters, and dialogues are amazing
. Of course, the main character didn't arouse any sympathy
at all. For some reason, I couldn't help comparing her to Batman from the first season
. In fact, we see both of them as indecisive housewives at the beginning and see how they change throughout the season
. But if Bethanne is admired, Alma is just disgusted and wants to punish her as soon as possible.
I'm sorry for Bertie, I'm even more sorry for Rita💔🥺
The second season has just come out, and I already want a third ahaha
It's a cool feeling when you feel how emotions change towards the characters from the first episode to the finale. In the beginning, I felt very much for Alma and was on her side, but the kind of maniac she became in the end radically changed my friendly attitude towards her into terrible irritation and a wild desire for karma to overtake her. Very, very cool.
I was touched by Bertie's love for his wife, even at death's door. By the way, although he is a serial killer in essence, he still has a kind soul and his motives were initially based on childhood trauma, and then only in the name of love, but at the same time his conscience was tormented. But Alma.. Just a psychopath.
Dee and Verne are a ray of light in the dark realm. I am very happy to have a happy ending for these characters!
Rita was really sorry at the end. I would like an open ending in the form of their future together with Scooter in New York.. But the scriptwriters decided to punish her anyway (let's not forget that she tried to drown Carlo in the bathroom).
That's why it's a cool and fair ending.
I'm looking forward to Season 3! ♥️
The growth and development of the characters is beautifully shown, sometimes in the opposite direction, which is even more amazing!
And the scene with Rita is when she realizes that Alma not only framed her by killing her husband, but also killed the innocent cousin she loved! And her death, of course, to the point of tears. And how Scooter was looking for her everywhere...
even Bertrum, who killed 25 people, turned out to be more adequate than his wife! What a good thing he didn't kill his son-in-law!
The most appropriate characters are Dee, Vern and Grace.
Cutie is a veterinarian.Over the course of the series, viewers forget that he is still a maniac, and this is not the norm.
The scooter is too stupid.
In general, this season everything is grotesque and does not look particularly appropriate.
The only pleasant line is with Dee and Vernan. It's good that they got a happy ending.
If there is a third season, I hope it will be made in the spirit of the first.
I don't understand commentators at all who are looking for some reason why and don't see a motive... according to your logic, Dostoevsky can be charged for Raskolnikov.
"Am I a trembling creature, or do I have the right?"
The beginning is so funny, it would seem, but at the end I just don't have the words, it's been a long time since I've had such emotions from the series.
Rita, on the other hand, was admired almost throughout the entire season. I feel very sorry for her ((although this is probably the best outcome for her character.
In general, in the end, everything is in its place, I'm happy)
The voiceover at the beginning, the colors in places, the style of music and narration, the detective story with a touch of absurdity, the secrets in the closet (Bertram's box from the first episode is literally like a box from the last frames of the series, which was brought by the next tenants), Rita's story with her lover as a light homage to Gaby, almost taken on the role of Rita Eva Longoria ... Ah)
I didn't like the second one. Alma was turned into a serial killer. No beauty, lightness, or reflection. It feels like the writers were sitting there and decided, "Let's kill someone every episode in the second half of the Alma season." Well, komon!
I'll review the first season one day, but certainly not the second.
Unfortunately, even Lana didn't pull it out for me.
Rita feels a little sorry in her own way. She wanted to get out of the quagmire, she didn't see the shores after, and when she did, it was too late.
A scooter. It's nice that they revealed a little bit of the character, because he was real with only one person, Rita. And he played a role with the others.
Dee and Verne are just a delight for the eyes and a perfect relationship. We've been happy all season.
Bertie. He's still a maniac on the grounds of childhood, but he certainly won't surpass his wife. At least he managed to leave beautifully and peacefully.
Catherine, that's a woman. It's just a pity that she and the butler were just leaked by running away. There is a sense of understatement.
And, of course, Isabelle is a wonderful sarcasm and protection of her cousin no matter what.
The season is good, in its own way, but it's good. I just missed the more intricate weaves like in season 1.
I'll give the season 7/10.
For the most part, for the beloved and beautiful Lana Parria
Rita is amazing ❤
I really liked the actors, besides, the series reveals a lot of "women's" problems, which sometimes women themselves simply keep silent about (or were silent in those days, although now such roles are played by the same gray housewife who lives in the shadow of her husband; or the wife of a tyrant husband who successfully beats and terrorizes her — unfortunately, they also occur in real life).
With great pleasure, I give you five stars! 🖤
They were surprised by Rita's death. It was unnecessary.
I liked how Alma and Rita switched places.
In general, Alma and her attempts to appear to be someone she is not, from the very beginning, caused me a hellish feeling of anxiety, as if I was lying and getting out of it, and I would soon be discovered. It's better to be yourself calmly and have dignity in it than to support so many lies and wallow in it deeper and deeper.
Well, just bravo bravissimi!
What about the second one?
Well, not a bad cast
That was the end of the good
The plot is weak, banal, it was boring to watch, and the season was "finishing off" simply because there was nothing else to watch. Alas and ah, the second season was disappointing. Against the background of the first one, it was very weak, I expected much more.
But I can't help but note that this season is great too!
I don't feel sorry for Alma at all. I tried to understand her, but I couldn't.
As a result, I got what I so desperately wanted-"fame". Everyone gets what they deserve.
It's just a pity for the others who "got under the distribution"
Well, as in desperate housewives in general. Girls love this))
Rita hadn't caused any feelings all season, and it didn't matter if she died. Although, of course, she doesn't deserve it. But it was pretty stupid to go into a conversation with a murderer with nothing, and at the same time turn your back on her.
Bertie left with dignity.
I really enjoyed the season.
Also, judging by the ending, Alma turned out to have some kind of mental diagnosis based on lack of attention..
The season is too creepy for me.
Of
course, this season should not be compared with the first, because they are radically different, but still, I liked the first one more, because last season all the murders were somehow justified, and this Alma wanted to kill everyone indiscriminately..
The question remains open to me personally, why was Alma's former boyfriend needed, the one from school...?
Such a gorgeous first season, and such a disgusting second.
The series is worth watching, sometimes even intriguing.
As it was, I often paused because I didn't feel like watching episodes in one go.
Even more likely, I disagree with the fact that I feel incredibly sorry for Rita in the end. Yes, she realized some things, but in general, the character was rather repulsive throughout the season, albeit charismatic. Rita had been bullying everyone around her for years and was quite ready to take care of Alma's family too, even if it didn't come to that, the veterinarian's wife was the first to go crazy.
Here, the finale turned out to be a bit crumpled, a lot of things were crammed into the last episode.
But I liked the picture and the atmosphere.
Therefore, I'll just write that Pelant from Kostya was a doctor in the 40-50 years))
, I'm especially happy for Dee and Verna that everything is fine with them, the most worthy characters of the season
But considering what the first one was, it gets a little sad. The first season was an extravaganza. Costumes, heroines, beautiful plot moves and intertwining the destinies of people and even generations.
And the second one started quite intriguingly, and the fact that the scriptwriters did not use the chips of the previous season gave hope for new, even more interesting and beautiful ones. But... By the middle of the season, hopes had sunk into oblivion. There were no worthy intrigues or interesting plot twists. The beginning, which showed us the plump and kind Bertie, who "helped to leave" seriously ill people and the quiet Alma, peeking through the window at the cream of society, descended to Alma's cuckoo gone wild and countless murders. And there are a lot of plot inconsistencies, questions and important conversations left behind the scenes - from above, like the icing on the cake.
Nice line, and True. Beautiful Rita and her costumes. The pretty face of Scooter, who turned out to be quite a good person. It seems like I'm repeating myself - not bad, but not bad and I don't want to review it.
Of course, everything started because of him and his passion, and because of Alma's desire to be a member of the club..but damn, he still took the lives of the suffering, and was ready to give it up, realizing that he was drowning out the trauma. But he was really a kind and good man who loved his family.
And I feel sorry for Rita in the end, too. She may have been terrible, but her "crimes" are not comparable to what Alma did. And in the end, she was no longer despicable.
I was very pleased that Dee and Vern stayed together. That's just the lightest thing. Dee is generally a cutie, and Vern is just a good person.
I'll speak for myself - the first season is better.
I liked the atmosphere of the 40s here.
It's a good series, we'll be waiting for the sequel.
I can't say I'm as excited about season 2.
The surroundings are both excellent, it's a pleasure to watch) I'm waiting for season 3 now.
-"I expect support from you, Isabel, not objectivity.
Alma, of course, heads off! I have no words!
The finale of the first season, in my opinion, turned out to be more emotional and interesting. But the second season took place. I can safely give the series 5 stars out of a possible 5 here! The script, the cast, the work of the costumers in both seasons are aerobatics!
I feel sorry for Bertie and Rita. Alma should have died instead of Rita.
Once again, they show us how power and permissiveness change a person.
Interesting second season🙏🏻☺️
But in my opinion, it still won't compare to the first season!
Alma went like a cuckoo, it happens (((
The season is good if we consider it separately. It's a pity that the series was closed, it's a very interesting idea.
And what is all this for? Become famous?
I didn't like the season at all
Alma went crazy and ruined so many lives. I'm glad that none of this has affected Dee and she's doing well.
I killed a moment with Rita. Well, she decided to start all over again, she had someone to go with. Why go to sort things out and prove something to someone again? To return to this elite? Duck, everyone knew her past, they wouldn't have accepted her anyway. Annoy Alma? In the end, I only made it worse for myself. I'd leave with the kid and that'd be it..
I liked the second season less than the first, but I hoped that in the third they would rehabilitate themselves and shoot something very cool. Sorry.
I got special pleasure from the actors playing the roles of Alma, Vern and Rita.
Dee was incredibly sorry when she found out that it was her mother who told her secret...And when she realized how much she wasn't interested in her(( and Bertram was sorry, because even at the time of his death, Alma was busy with herself and only herself...And he still saw in her the one he married(( glad that at least he didn't know what her end was.
Scooter disappointed, believed him when he planned to go with Rita, and he remained the same...
So why do women kill? They showed me why maniacs kill. The husband is an ideological serial killer, but in an adequate way, the wife is extremely insane, and there were no more murderers. There were some attempts in a state of passion, after which everyone survived. Including the hapless husband, who pierced the detective's leg, and was only needed to show the soul of the beautiful impulses of Dee.))
He, and the former Alma Mater at Atotavern and Mrs. Yost's nephew, are generally indistinct characters. They got a face, a name, screen time, and their appearance promised a plot twist or a mini-story, but nothing like that happened.
I've watched the first season in parts or in its entirety more than once. I'm unlikely to get a second one.
a great series, a good season, but there wasn't enough zest
, I really liked the dialogues, they're straight to funny quotes, it's very funny
the first season is still the best ever
, and I have a question, why did they introduce the handsome ex-boyfriend of Alma's classmate?
the branch was never developed, but the accent was
You know, at first Bertram seemed terrible because of his hobbies, but by the end of the series he feels very sorry for him. He also understood his contribution to his wife's madness and, as a man, tried to take the brunt of it. "Goodbye, my beautiful girl"- even before his death, he saw in her the woman he loved. A symbolic parallel is glasses as a souvenir. The parallels with the clothes of the main characters are also very interesting.
I feel very sorry for Rita, despite all her sins. But knowing that Alma had committed so many murders, Ritusik went to meet her, not armed with anything - logic. In fact, she shouldn't have clung to her gigolo or her revenge on Alma at all.: I would have gone to New York, I would not have been sad.
Why did I freak out - Vern was in my eyes when he was developing a photo compromise, how could you not notice Alma there?! Maybe I missed something, but it caught my eye...
Overall, I'm thrilled with the series. It's sad that it was closed. Of course, the first season looked fresher, with a more versatile plot and an amazing connection of "strings" at the end. The second season is great too, but it would be better if the plot was diluted with other storylines and tied together at the end. (๑˘︶˘๑)
Although Bertie really got quite a decent ending. Much better than Rita and Isabelle, who just got hit by Alma's rink when it was already unstoppable. Despite everything they were doing, that's who I really felt sorry for. Lana is generally a great type to play repentant Evil Queens. It's just a pity that her characters never get a happy ending.
I was also very worried about Dee and Vern. I am glad that they managed to survive and preserve each other in the whirlpool of this family.
In general, the series is, of course, gorgeous! Just like his caste. It's a pity that we were given only 2 seasons, but they were each good in their own way. My favorite, like many, was season 1, and especially the line of the 80s: the beautiful Lucy Liu in the role of Simon and her witty husband, with whom they were all able to get through, while maintaining such a reverent attitude towards each other, won my heart.
But season 1 is better.
It's both disgusting and bitter. Bravo!
Really, it was so interesting for me to follow the story that the series just clicked. And here, unlike the first one, the ending is not predictable at all! I mean, it's understandable about Alma, but damn, I never expected the death of Rita, Isabel, and such a tight ball of thread.
It's amazing how much I don't feel sorry for anyone at all - the story has found a logical conclusion for each character, and I +/- agree with everyone. And I'm really happy for Vern and Dee, my favorite characters here. It's good that everything worked out for them despite the circumstances.
I am grateful to the cast and the creators of the series - I had a very exciting time here)) It's a pity, the series could have been continued, since it's an anthology.
If it were a separate project, and not the second season, I wouldn't even watch it, the main character is absolutely not a charismatic character, it's not about looks, but about the lack of charisma and interesting character, in the first season each of the three gg caused sympathy and interest, each aroused sympathy and understanding, I really wanted to know who they were killing and why, how their story would end, but here, I don't know, it's not mine at all.
The first season is much better for me personally, especially since there is a parallel development of three time periods that unite the house and strong women. He looks fresher, brighter, more colorful, something new and catchy, an abundance of characters with interesting fates, beautiful scenery, costumes, everything is so lively and even a little exaggerated.
I don't disagree with the fact that someone might like the season, but I repeat, if it were a separate project, I wouldn't even look at it (
Two - how interestingly the scriptwriters turned out, killing everyone they assumed they would kill in the end, that this was eventually a happy ending - this is a cool scenario trick (and a psychological one, given Alma's crazy mindset)
I felt sorry for everyone except her
The man no longer saw any boundaries
Murder (or attempt) after murder
And Rita and her sister are very sorry
, Yes, they may not have been models for behavior, but they certainly did not deserve to die
And Rita was also bleeding profusely, dying painfully..
Bertram couldn't stand it all, no wonder
I hope that at least their daughter will be able to live this life without psychological trauma
Alma was disgusted. As they say in detective series: "they kill for less", but here the reason for all her murders is a mental disorder. I feel sorry for all her victims. I feel sorry for all her husband's victims. It's a pity for the neighbor they didn't give a decent funeral to. It's a pity for the beautiful singer from the first series. I'm terribly sorry for Rita. A possible happy ending for Rita and Alphonse was an interesting twist, and her death ruined everything. And it was also proved that Scooter didn't care about her. I don't even know if I feel sorry for Bertram. Interestingly, he was left alive to be killed in the end. It happens. He and Alma ended up being the perfect couple, that's for sure.
Hopefully, Dee will write a book about her crazy parents, shovel money and earn a house for herself, her husband and child. Let her parents at least invest so much in her future, if they couldn't otherwise. To think about it, she and her pregnancy (and marriage) were in the background for her parents.
At first I thought that Vern was investigating the case in vain, because Rita would not pay him for a house for a child, and then I remembered that the voice-over said that Vern was doing this because of his beliefs, and not for money. Vern is a really good person.
P.S. Was the nurse at the hospital the same woman Rob cheated on Beth Ann with, or was it my imagination?? And I also know the doctor as a serial killer from the TV series Bones. And from somewhere else... xD
I also feel sorry for Bertie .
In short , season 2 is no worse than season 1 !
It's a pity that the series was closed, I would love to watch season 3.
The first season is good and the second is even better)
I'm shocked, of course, with Alma.. Who she was in the beginning and who she became in the end. In fact, she can be said to have replaced Rita in this club.
And the way she left her husband's glasses as a souvenir killed me altogether.. Alma just fell in front of my eyes..
Series 9 and 10 are the most touching and reveal all the cruel but pure reality and truth.
"Crushing enemies is the best cosmetics" Alma liked getting rid of enemies so much that she began to enjoy it and she was pleased.
What she has become cannot be compared to what Rita was like..
In general, it's a great series, I really liked watching it, it's quite humorous and interesting. I recommend it for viewing)
In general, I'm writing my opinion about the series. The first season was definitely better, especially because there were as many as 3 parallels. It's clearly a dimmer season here. Alma destroyed her marriage by herself, which seemed so wonderful to me. I'm glad that everything turned out well for Dee and Vern
4/5
It's a great series, and I'm really glad that I decided to watch it in the end.
The second season is not inferior to the first, I watched the whole series in two days!
I felt very sorry for Dee, who had to go through the hidden horrors of her family in her right mind. I'll assume that in the last episode, Alma put a tag on her husband's glasses to take all the blame for her husband's actions (as if the collection was hers) and whitewash his honor. Therefore, Dee might not have found out the whole truth, and at least her father remained a good man in her eyes.
Actually, Dee turned out to be a pleasant character for me. I am glad that she has a good and honest person next to her who will help her get through this.
The amazing thing about Bertram is that despite the fact that he is a serial killer, he sincerely aroused sympathy and sympathy. How well the creators played this card, making you feel ambivalent.
And the other characters were well discovered from different sides.:
Scooter is an infantile, but not at all a mean guy who responds warmly to those who love him.
Catherine is a woman hardened by her father's attitude and loneliness, who wants to love and be loved by someone.
Rita is cruel, but she is also capable of loving those who were around, not only because of her status. Life was cruel to her, and I think that explains her rough exterior.
Alma is probably the most difficult character for me in this story. She was getting crazier with each episode. It seemed to me that there were prerequisites for this, and the personal crisis and the truth about my husband became the trigger to go completely cuckoo. She scares and repels, but I can't say that I don't have sympathy for her. In all that was happening to her, there seemed to be few options to turn onto the right path. The only thing that could have prevented this chain of terrible events was timely psychiatric treatment, but probably at that time this field of medicine was not well developed 🫣
The second season feels like a completely different series, and I liked it no less than the first. It would be interesting to see the psychological analysis of the characters.
It's a good season, I shouldn't have put off watching it!
The shock was caused by the fact that she decided to "substitute" herself instead of Bertram, apparently, her conscience turned on for a minute.
