Derek, series 2 (2014)

Over the weekend, I watched the Derek special that had just hit Netflix. I had honestly been hoping for a full new series, but I was glad to at least have this ending to a really touching and thoughtful show.

It’s not a series that is appropriate for all ages, and sometimes it is inappropriate for all ages, if you know what I mean.  There’s no violence or nudity, but the language often gets quite strong and the humor is often vulgar.  One character in particular is a very crude man, and when he is in the scene, you can count on a conversation that is at best very uncomfortable.
  
But it’s also a series that, if you can weather with the language, that you should see.  And I’d ask you to read my review of the first series here for an overview of why that is.

I have a lot to say about the special, but I also realize that I never reviewed the second series, which I had originally intended to do, so let’s touch on that first.
