‘Why Women Kill’ Changes Tactics in Season Two
It’s different from the first season, but still quite enjoyable.
In the second season of Why Women Kill, we meet a new cast of characters in the 1940s. Alma Fillcot (Allison Tolman) is a normal housewife and mother who longs to be in her local Garden Club, a prestigious and exclusive group. How far will this mild-mannered woman go to get what she wants?
I have somewhat mixed feelings about the second season of Why Women Kill. It’s a very interesting story with colorful characters. It’s full of fun and style, and there are some good action and character moments all throughout. In the second half of the season, things start to get dicey for our characters, and that’s when I got really engaged.
But it took me a while to get into this season because it’s very different than the previous season. In the first season of Why Women Kill, we follow three very different women who all lived in the same house in different decades. I was so impressed by the writing and how the entire season was so intentionally constructed. I was hoping for that style of storytelling in season two. But we only have one timeline.
Because it bears little resemblance to the first season, it felt like I was watching a different show. I wish this had been a separate property rather…
