Kidding - Série 2

I approached the second season of Kidding with some caution, especially with the discussions about whether Jim Carrey was essentially telling his own life story through the show. After finishing it, I don't think that's the case. It feels more like he found an interesting platform where he could express some of his personal thoughts and ideas—thoughts he’s probably kept to himself after years of being misunderstood, choosing instead to retreat into solitude and focus on creating rather than acting. About halfway through, I thought this season might be weaker than the first, but the final three episodes completely changed my mind. Especially the finale—it was easily the best part of the entire season and makes the journey worth sticking with. If this is how the series ends, it would be one of the most beautiful conclusions to a show I’ve ever seen. Thanks, Jim. Some of your reflections on happiness and what it truly means still linger with me. (28.11.2020)
