Mayhem, Murder & Hilarity Define Season 2 of 'Am I Being Unreasonable?'
The deranged dramedy Am I Being Unreasonable? has returned in all its dysfunctional glory, dropping all episodes of a second season that manages to outpace the first. The second season action starts minutes after Season 1's conclusion at Alex’s memorial, except now Nic is bolting out of the church and into a taxi, with husband Dan (Dustin Demri-Burns) and Alex’s wife Suzie (Amanda Wilkin) in hot pursuit.
The first season’s finale dropped a world-shifting revelation on the audience: After being dumped cruelly, Nic (Daisy May Cooper) killed her lover/brother-in-law Alex (David Fynn), trapping his coat in the train doors on purpose. She has been unraveling from guilt ever since. As the new season unfolds, we learn that although the murder is still a secret, Nic and Alex’s affair was divulged to everyone at the memorial. The video of Nic confessing her affair, filmed surreptitiously by her bestie Jen (Selin Hizli), was broadcast onscreen behind Nic as she struggled to speak about Alex.
Jen is mortified; her son Harry (Ankido Hussen) was playing with her phone and the video wouldn’t stop. In a quiet moment after all hell breaks loose, Nic’s son Ollie (Lenny Rush) confronts Jen, but she swears it was an accident. However, as an amateur filmmaker, Ollie recognizes the phone camera was angled perfectly to capture Nic’s confession. From then on Ollie is suspicious of Jen and her motives, dropping comments under his breath and sometimes openly subverting her adult authority. Nic is also reeling from the video, but with nowhere else to go, she crashes with Jen. Their friendship is more than bruised, but Nic temporarily overlooks the betrayal due to her desperation.
