After Life Season 2 Review: 4 Ups & 3 Downs

1. Underdeveloped Subplots

While After Life was very much just a one-man show in its first season, the second incorporates other characters into the narrative in more significant ways. And while you might have your own opinions on that (this writer happened to enjoy it - and we will get to that), it's hard to deny that it wasn't without its issues.

Supporting and guest characters had increased roles, more screen-time and some even had their own narratives, but some of these subplots never feel like they truly pay off - especially Matt's marriage problems - instead serving as a diversion from Tony's storyline whenever convenient so that it wouldn't come off as too much of a retread.

If you're going to go there, you need to go the full way. The problem, however, is that After Life didn't.

Now, for the positives...
