As much Season 2 plays with the true meaning of “alchemy,” this show seems to already know the secret.
-
Strange as the story sounds and looks, though, “Lodge 49” also is easy to laugh with and at, and the separate and combined adventures meander on a structured plan. We know somehow Ernie and Dud will have a plane to catch, and despite its indescribable nature I can assure you that you’ll be eager to tag along for the winding trip leading to that runway.

Lodge 49 is a show that's all over the place and yet feels elegantly and confidently arced, rather than haphazard. It's silly and profound, deep and frivolous. It's impossible to describe, but whatever strange thing it is, it's a wonderful mindset in which to spend an hour a week, so I need you to start watching, because two seasons won't be enough.

Lodge 49 takes its sweet time because it’s more interested in the feeling of being in this place and around these people than it is on finding out what happens next. That’s placing a very large burden on the actors, the writers, and the directors to make this leisurely stroll feel worthwhile, but Lodge 49 succeeds at almost every turn.

There is something very different and unique about this story, though it can feel a little sluggish at times or a little too disparate in the tone and narratives it’s telling.
