Not quite the high of the first season, but still going very strong. Some amazing (Asian) cameos here.

I'll give season 2 of AINFQ this, it is a tad more memorable than its lackluster first season.

Lovely continuation in the story from season 1. Obvious connections from where the characters last took place showcasing new challenges, growth, and more depth to the shows environment.

Although I love everyone in the show, season 2 felt like a completely different show from season 1. They heightened the surreal but downgraded on the funny. What I found great about season 1 was the continuous journey we were on with Nora and her life. This season, except for the final episode "Home," Nora's life was at a standstill and so were the laughs. If it gets a 3rd season, hopefully we'll get back to Nora's quest for meaning and purpose. That's where I find the show shines brightest. And of course, more Grandma.

Finally finished the 2nd season of Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens and it was phenomenal, better then the first season it felt more natural and didn't feel like the show was trying so hard. The writing was exceptional, hilarious like the first season but love how they incorporated more serious moments into this season and love the crazy and weird sci-fi element they incorporated into the episode Stop! Nora Time. The performances from Awkwafina, Lori Tan Chinn, Chrissie Fit, Bowen Yang, Jennifer Esposito, BD Wong, Margaret Cho, Haley Joel Osment, and Lauren Ash were outstanding. Also the music was great. An A+ sophomore season.
