"Here's the card of a psychiatrist who just moved to New York from Boston. He's done wonders for my friend Sylvia Plath".

It's always slightly nerve wracking seeing how follow up seasons are handled, but alas, here there was no need to worry. The first episode of season 2 is exceptional. All the things that made season 1 great - cinematography, music, smart dialogue - are found here in abundance. It's startlingly beautiful and witty and intelligent, yet nothing feels superfluous or overambitious.

Marin Hinkle glistens in Paris as the newly liberated Mrs. Weissman; Michael Zegen brings more emotional depth to Joel and Alex Borstein's portrayal of Susie is as genius as ever.

Watch it, then recommend it to anyone known to watch anything.
