Before Life: Future Season Speculation

[littlecatsfeet]

It's been renewed for Season Two. I'm kinda surprised.

Surprised there will be a season 2.  I loved it, don’t get me wrong, but the story really is complete in just one season. I’d hate to see it ruined by going on too long. And I want the dog to be okay!  I’m afraid they’ll kill her off for tear jerking purposes.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this.  Every last thing about this was right.  

I agree it was such a complete story it didn't really need a Series 2.  I'm reasonably convinced there's no way a Series 2 could work as well, and it risks damaging what we've gotten already.  That said, I can see at least a few paths it can take where what results can be fairly good, even if not quite this perfect.  One suggestion I'd have for Ricky is to have his character become a bit more of an observer and explore the backstories of the other characters more.  In some shows that kind of change of focus might hurt, but here I think it's the best way forward, because his own story wrapped up so well. Yes, we can go into his dating, I suppose, but I think the whole point of this was to leave him in a place where he's capable of caring about those around him.  So using him as a lever to dig into the problems of those around him would actually be a way to show the results of that change in him in action. Clearly the brother in law's marriage is potentially a big story, but there are other less obvious ones too.

Speculate about upcoming seasons here!

Now that we have a full forum, I've started an anticipation thread for speculation about season 2.  You may continue to discuss season 1 here.

Once the new season drops, I will begin episode threads for discussion.

Netflix just told me season 3 is available.  Haven't watched any yet but this should bump the forum in case anyone is interested.
