Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens Season 2 Episode 1
Okay, let’s talk Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens. Season 2, episode 1 to be exact.
Anyone else feel… a little underwhelmed? Don't get me wrong, I love Awkwafina.
The Setup
Nora's on a journey of self-discovery. Classic Nora. She's trying to "adult."
Must Read
Grandma's still hilariously unpredictable. Her antics? Always a win.
Edmund is still… Edmund. Sweet, clueless, always there. We love to see it.
The Unpopular Opinion
Here it comes... I think the premiere was a bit slow. Sorry not sorry.
The plot felt a little... meh. Just Nora wandering, trying to figure things out.
Which, I get it, that’s the show. But it felt like it needed a spark.
Like, throw in a rogue pigeon. Or a surprise celebrity cameo. Something!
Was It Just Me?
Maybe I'm being too harsh. It’s only one episode, right?
But compared to some of the first season's bangers? This felt… muted.
Remember the dental dam episode? Now THAT was comedy gold!
Or the one with the awkward dating app situation? Relatable and hilarious!
Grandma's Still the MVP
Let’s be real, Lori Tan Chinn as Grandma is the heart of the show.
She steals every scene she’s in. Her delivery is just perfect.
I could watch a whole show just about Grandma Wong. Seriously.
Her one-liners? Iconic. Her fashion sense? Unmatched.
Hopes for the Season
I'm hoping the rest of the season picks up. It has the potential!
More ridiculous situations, please! More awkward encounters!
And maybe, just maybe, a little more focus on Bowen Yang. He's a comedic genius!
Give him more to do! Let him shine!
The Verdict (So Far)
Overall, season 2, episode 1 was... okay. Not amazing, not terrible.
Just… okay. A solid 6/10.
But I'm still holding out hope. Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens has proven it can be brilliant.
A Call to Action (Kind Of)
Did you love the premiere? Hate it? Think I'm completely off base?
Let me know! I'm always up for a good TV debate.
And let's all agree Grandma Wong is a national treasure. That's not an opinion, it's a fact.
"Don't forget to hydrate!" - Probably Grandma Wong
