Overall, The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 is a lot more confident in taking risks, emphasizing the rarity of a follow-up that doesn’t just continue the story but energetically improves the entire show to date.
-
Patience will have to be a virtue across the whole season as well, as the creators expand their world view to varying degrees of success. .... Garner is, unsurprisingly, the MVP here because the show understands she is most engaging as an actress and as a series lead when she isn’t given a chance to catch her breath.

We’re still a little annoyed that the second season of The Last Thing He Told Me seems to serve up a thrill-light nothingburger of a story, but we still want to see the chemistry between Garner and Rice, which is the best thing about the series.
-
The last thing I’ll tell you about season two of The Last Thing He Told Me is it wouldn’t hurt to skip it.

Their [Hannah and Owen's] relationship is as nonsensical as the rest. Which isn’t to say there’s nothing to enjoy here. There’s a reason Jennifer Garner is famous. She’s able to make her character exude maternal care while also having a sociopath’s knack for lying and coming up with the right thing to say to get what she wants.
