'Am I Being Unreasonable' Returns with a Season 2 Trailer
The extremely dark and funny Am I Being Unreasonable? is one of those comedies that people forget when discussing the sitcom as an endangered species. A slightly deranged comedy from the team of Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli (This Country), the series embodies the new type of comedy that's grown in popularity in this decade: the ones that make you laugh because otherwise you'd cry.
Cooper stars as Nic, a woman whose life is dictated by her children's schedules, bored with her husband, Dan, and having an affair. Or she was; however, he inconveniently died, so now she's grieving for a boyfriend no one knows she had on top of everything else. Close to unraveling, she meets a new neighborhood mom, Jen (Hizli), and the two become instant besties. Or as close to besties as one can when each lies about significant parts of their lives.
Season 1 ended with viewers learning each character's big secret: Jen's friending Nic was no accident; Dan is also cheating, and Jen was ready to expose him until she began to realize things in their marriage were way more screwed up than a married dude with a Tinder profile. However, it does lead to Nic and Dan getting separated, which is probably the best outcome for all involved.
