Moonshine (2021)
Lidia is more Mr. Magoo than Walter White
Season 1 was probably a 5-6/10 if I'm being generous. Season 2 has taken a slight turn for the worse.
Let's start with the positives: 1) Less attention on the kids. The girl was/is particularly annoying with her anti-establishment nonsense. 2) The older, now retired, parents are enjoyable to watch. 3) Rhiann, who obviously has an undiagnosed personality disorder, has turned down her crazy a few notches. 4) Sammy's choice to find his birth parents seems logical as I was wandering how/why this black dude came to be a part of this oh-so-white family of knuckleheads.
On the other hand, why does Lidia seem to be regressing? She was able to run a successful architectural firm and raise 2 kids in NYC but is now supposed to be dumb enough to try to go into criminal business with a biker gang? When she answered the stolen burner phone and said "Hi, Gale's burner phone" I had to turn it off! It just seems weird how she keeps trying to stick her big toe into crime while still maintaining her cheerleader/goodie-two-shoes persona. Her criminal mind is definitely more Mr. Magoo than Walter White. Also, Ryan and Crystal are just too dumb to be together. They are very frustrating to watch.
Perhaps, I should just lower my expectations and accept the show for what it is: a light-hearted, occasionally humorous offering which doesn't require the audience to think too hard.
