Believe it or not, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 might be even better than Season 1.
-
Season 2 isn’t without benign, quirky insights into modern LDS culture (as the friends go to a haunted house, we learn that “Mormons love Halloween!,” and that in terms of family planning, “Three is the new six in Utah!”) or satisfying continuations of wacky first-season plotlines. .... But in the three episodes released to the media ahead of the premiere, much of the aforementioned low-stakes squabbling is the kind you might see on any reality show, about anyone, religious or not.
-
I have watched three episodes of the new series and with a couple of honourable exceptions there isn’t a moment that feels authentic.
-
Wringing out any juiciness left over from that swinging scandal, season two of The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives feels very much like a rehash. And with a cast that’s a bit too chronically online and self-possessed to really let the devil out, it’s hard to see these women leading viewers to reality-TV salvation anytime soon.
