Review: "Galavant season 2 TV review"
The second outing of Galavant is a little underwhelming. The pop culture and self-awareness jokes are getting more forced and less amusing. The musical set pieces are not as entertaining as in the first season. That said, it is not a bad season but compared to the first, I felt disappointed.
Episode 1-10: It continues where the first season ends off. The whole season is on the bonding between Galavant and King Richard which is a decent story and character development. Of course, with their different characteristics, you can expect tiff gags where on and off, they would fight for whatever reasons. One thing that is increasingly getting on my nerves is the frequent self-awareness jokes. Even during the songs, they would break into the self-awareness tone. Season 1 has balanced those jokes but it felt like the season 2 has indulged the jokes. Nonetheless, each episode is not boring and often filled with ridiculous jokes and colorful characters. There is hardly a dull moment. Inevitably, there is again a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode. No spoiler here but the development of one character is progressively getting evil.
Overall: Is it worth to watch the second outing? I would say it is no harm but do not keep your standards high. Once you embrace its ridiculous tone, you should be entertained by every episode. I will still watch season 3 but now I know where my standards for this show are.
