What went up, came down
**Mild Spoilers ahead**

First of all, I'm a big sitcom junkie and I truly enjoyed season 1 of Whitney. It was never close to being up there with the greats, but it had an unorthodox, modern story style, good performances, and a lot of big laughs. It culminated in Whitney and Alex pretend-marrying each other, which was the perfect conclusion to what had been an interesting season of unorthodox romance.

Now that the show has been cancelled, I figured it was time to warn people about the buzzkill of season 2.
I'm not sure if it was the change in showrunners or the mostly different writing staff, but while the tone of the show remained, its quality and level of humor dropped considerably.

Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia were perfect for the parts they played, but those parts soon became ones of odd desperation as they dealt with all the weird revelations the writers threw at them.
After Whitney's mom comes along in season 2's first episode to...

Sophomore slump??
So far with this season has been a complete let down especially after season 1. A complete sophomore slump. I will continue to watch it and hopefully it will get better.

The jokes are predictable and not funny. Whitney's acting isn't too good and she is coming off more needy than in the first season, maybe because of the whole "marriage" thing. She should be called Whiney instead.

Other characters:
*Roxanne and Lilly are boring.
*Neil is nonexistent this season.
*Mark is okay so far but he has barely any lines.
*Alex is on point with all the jokes and is the best part of the show in each episode. Maybe the writers give him the better lines and he actually tries with the show. He is the reason why I gave it the other star.

Hopefully, I will get to update this and give this a higher star rating as the season goes on but so far, eh.

avante guard-funny as hell!
This is such a different type of sitcom. The situations are right on, which makes it fall down funny and Alex does the best drunk I've seen..So refreshing!
