What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 aired December 2017, released the same year as Season 1 in a double-drop that gave the show immediate momentum. Critical approval held at 90 percent from 4 reviews - a slight dip from the perfect Season 1 score but still firmly in consensus territory. Metro called it brave, beautiful, delightful and dark. CNET framed it explicitly as comfort for fans of Season 1's specific pleasures: the feminist message, 1920s period fashion, and the central ensemble's chemistry. The timeline pushed the characters through the political turbulence of Spain's late-1920s transition toward the Republic, giving the domestic and romantic storylines a rising historical pressure that the show handled better than most period dramas.
