As AbbottElementary enters its highly anticipated second season, amyTVgal writes on why viewers should keep calm and give the beloved comedy room to grow
I’ve seen the first two episodes of the new season, and they are everything you would want and expect the show to be. Warm, hilarious, relatable, and damn if the end of the second season premiere didn’t make me cry. But, I’m not going to lie, I’m worried about the show. Well actually not the show, but viewers’ reaction to the show.
We, as a pop-culture loving society, love to build things up only to tear them down. And the hype surroundingduring the show’s second season when they aired a celebrity infused special episode after the Super Bowl and had a weeks-long promotion campaign involving Diet Coke. Suddenly the show that viewers adored was facing backlash. And that was before social media where backlash can mobilize in a matter of minutes.
A second season is typically where a show truly finds itself. The creators, writers and executive producers must move beyond the promising premise. With network shows, the process is even more intense asmust put out 22 episodes between now and next May. Brunson appears to be acutely aware of this. Last season, they had completed all 13 episodes before the pilot aired. This year they will be producing episodes as people are watching the second season.
