Season 1 is still the best and it really sets out why the show is named Why Women Kill. Season 2, however seems like it belonged to a different show or like it didn’t deserve the name Why women Kill it was a good show but it just felt different to me.
Season 2 amazing too. You didn’t pay attention. Why women kill mean in season 2 was jealous and attention. Alma wanted to be noticed and famous and taht why she kill
I agree in the part both season are different how ever I do see them as the same series, just to chapters of the same book. The first one shows women in complex situations make dome decisions that are debatable but understandable. In the second even though we can relate to the woman, we can watch what means when a woman becomes a serial killer, she has a abrupt moment in they lives that changes theirs behaviour where they are not metal stable and goes to a sprint killing, I think they only difference is she is not looking to kill in an active way only if they are an obstacle as brain sees it. I think the second season have a difficult to maintain the mystery for the future scenes as the first one. I live that about the 1st but the second was easy to pin point how will develop. But even though it was a good season and on point on the theme.
Seeing her go increasingly more confident, superficial and evil was amazing It made me hate her, but at the same time, somewhere along the season, I also felt a little proud and happy, looking back to her original, weak, humiliated person, only to go back to ultimately hate her, but be left speechless at how insane she was amazing protagonist lol
@@mik7564 she’s an actress wearing a costume for the role, you’re looking at this like it’s a reality, it’s not. What I’m noticing is how the costume designers nailed the costumes and the fittings on all the actors and actresses, it was impeccable.
@@mik7564it’s a fictional show character, played by an actress. It’s completely fine to notice and comment on the beautiful costume/outfit decisions made, removing it from the dark fictional storyline. It’s not like any of it is real life, however if it was I could see how that kind of comment is potentially problematic, but it’s not.

Rita Castillo learned an honorable lesson that Alma Fillcot, to the very end, did not realize herself. They were both attention obsessed, vapid, and petty people because of their past experiences. In the end, once Rita lost it all, she learned that the true riches of life was being lucky enough to be loved unconditionally for who you are, but Alma rose to prominence and only became more greedy for a life of materialism and fame. She didn't get enough fulfillment just being loved by her husband and daughter, she grew selfish where she was once a selfless woman, and Rita became less selfish.
Rita didn't change she was just as self-absorbed, greedy, and selfish as before. The only difference was that she got humiliated and was made to feel like a nobody, which is what Alma has felt her whole life. The point was that on the surface, their roles had switched.
Both woman made statements about the game played: the world is kind to the wealthy, pretty, nice shaped people. The wallflowers are never appreciated.. nor seen beyond ordinary. Crazy how both woman became ruthless through the modeling of pushing for more in the world .. more than what the world said they were worthy of
@@florinafernandes9276 Rita already came from a life where she was humiliated, even worse than Alma's life perhaps because of her circumstances. Although Alma was not a part of high society, she at least had a middle class life with a husband and daughter who really cared for her. Rita was a dancing girl who it's strongly implied had to sleep with others to survive. At the end of the series, Rita loses everything and learns that although people only treated her well when she was rich, the real riches she craved could only be gained through love. She says that to Scooter herself. And we also see her come to this realisation through seeing Alma and how her husband treats her.
OMG I just finished watching it. Why people talk trash about this season? Alma’s story was sooo interesting, I love her, she is not the femme fatale we are used to, she is even better. Props to the actress damn! This was soo good. The contrast between Alma and Rita, Episode 1: Alma staring at Rita in a red dress, Final episode: Rita staring Alma in a red dress. Don’t compare the two season guys, they are completely different and unique in their own way. Different women, different endings. The way she was labeling Bertram’s glasses broke my heart.
I wonder if she was convicted for all of the murders including the ones he husband committed on his own. After all, she was in possession of all the 'mementos' and added Bertram to it, and nobody but the priest knows Bertram did them by himself.
Just finished this season minutos ago. I was truly astonished on how great (and bloody lol) it was. Totally different from season 1, but I take it. Still an amazing show!
@@camc5630either that or a pretty good horror film about a woman who’s garden is filling with blood and her victims are controlling the plants to come back at her for revenge
@@camc5630 yeah but downside it would have to be written perfectly for it to be chilling kind of horror not the jumpscare one and acted with Alma’s actress, no one would be able to do it better than her haha, it’d be how she appears to be normal and then cuz of the club then kills the members but her garden slowly comes to life, her having dreams of her falling into a pool of blood in the garden etc.

People like alma sadden me. I mean what drives a man or woman to commit such atrocities for a little attention?! I mean yes alma wanted to be known but she had a husband, a daughter, people who already knew and loved her. I mean honestly are people like that so desperate for attention they’d commit felonies for 5 minutes of fans?!?!?
not to mention alma was going to get what she wanted without bloodshed, she got into the club and got on rita's good side all by being her bubbly charming authentic self. up until rita discovered who her daughter was she had it all in the bag. wildly unnecessary
For me that was her delusional mind. Like yes he wanted that and she rationalize it that way. However, when you see her as a serial killer you understand she got brake her brain, like posible she was already in the path to madness and learning about her husband just drove her far away and the same night be part of the dead of mes. Yost. She was in a spring of killings and if she wasn’t detained she’d have continue and probably getting better. So I don’t see it as only wanting fame, that just her delusional rationalization. That’s how serial killers works if I get the definition correctly she was a sociopath
Few things I noticed while watching the show (and this video) 1- Alma most likely was blamed for Bertram’s murders as well, if the police found the trophies 2- the way Alma speaks changes throughout the season, for an example go back to the first episode, then to the last. It’s wildly different, it very subtly changes throughout the series and I thought this was such a perfect detail. 3- the second point goes along with her personality, at first she’s totally offended by the concept of her husband killing, as well as terrified of having killed her neighbor, but she continues to justify herself in her horrendous behavior, Alma was a hypocrite. She didn’t come to understand her serial killer husband until SHE HERSELF became a serial killer. Their motivations were wildly different, leading to her looking down upon his killings yet justifying her own. 4- Alma’s personality takes a total 360 (obviously) as in the beginning she’s a timid shy woman who just wants friends, but by the end is 100% willing to manipulate others (including her own daughter) 5- I believe Alma took her insecurities out on Dee, which is seen when Dee talks about her hookups, and how Alma told her girls like them don’t get chances or get noticed. that’s really my conclusion, I could theorize all day about Alma, honestly.
It got canceled. It was going to be a woman who gets revenge on her co worker cliques. It was going to be so good. It needs to be picked up by another network. We deserve season 3
@@welcome2bangkok-d1x it was going to be about a woman in her work business taking down people in the cliques in her workplace as she sees fit. I think it was going to be good tbh
In a sick way, I can understand and identify with her rather than her actions. I've always been a nobody who's also wished for attention. Ive struggled with feeling insecure like I didn't matter for a long time. I compared myself to girls I was friends with often. I would compare the clothes I had to what they had. It didn't help that I was socially awkward (and possibly autistic). I've only realized over time now especially with the help of my girlfriend that I am special. But watching this show in a sense, it hit me hard a bit at this is something I could be to a degree if I found myself constantly fretting myself for what I'm not instead of accepting myself I bash on this season quite a bit at first, but Alma remains as someone I could truly relate to
It i my personal theory that Why Women Kill is actually a fictional story being written by Karl Grove during the last year of his life. This is why the narrator seemingly has his same voice, and why the principle cause of death for the most of the characters is injection---the exact means that he was considering to end his own life.
I loved the first season and I never could have imagined that they will make the second one even better. This shit was one of the best shit I've seen on TV
I didn't like this season as much as the first. Season 1 was funnier and had more likeable lead Characters. Rita and Alma were not likeable alot of the times. I had sympathy for both of them Alma self absorbing behavior that was so over the top in. In a way, it was like watching the woman lose her damn mind and turn in to a sociopath with delusions of grandeur. N she Transition from a meek and timid woman to all that felt alittle to quick. It's like I get it but I don't. No concern for her husband or daughter at the end. She just didn't snap put of it 😕 and that deep deep level of disconnect was so wierd. The clothes and make up and all that...they made it seem like she couldn't afford fancy clothes and then all of sudden she could. From no style to all the style.
I see what you mean, though thanks to the trailer I went in knowing it would be completely different. I guess they felt that they couldn't risk making the two seasons too similar to each other or else then absolutely no one would watch. Think they'll go for a different storyline again in season 3? As for the clothes all I can guess is that either she kept buying the cheaper material and her sewing skills got better and had managed to cement herself into the garden club enough so that now no-one made fun of her clothes or they were willing to lend her money to afford clothes. That's all I got. And I'm guessing the jewellery is either fake/costume jewellery or that they belonged to the dead woman in the back yard. Still it's all comedy it doesn't have to make complete sense. But I get what you mean.
I agree with the part of the styling. Ans yes that was s2 about how alba become a serial killer, a woman serial killer normally have like a trauma event that brake their brains and starts a delusional reality, so her darkest feelings were being insecure and that how she rationalize her killings. And probably she was already a sociopath but not a murderous one until she got delusional.
I thought season 2 was fantastic. It felt different but it was supposed to. People who hated season 2 wanted it to be identical to season 1. Heck if they repeated every line in season 1 with different actors they would have thought it a masterpeice. People don't like change.
It's a blessing for women. After being cat called and u wanted attention and groping in public transport, it is peaceful to not get noticed. U can go ur own merry way and do whatever ru like. Being invisible have its own perks. But people r attention seekers desperately they dont realise it.
I'm 47. I don't feel like people don't see me. I feel like they see me differently. The attention that I see less of than I was younger is the unwanted, intrusive kind and I don't miss it. It still happens occassionally, and I'm like really, we're still doing that?
This was actually better than season 1 in my opinion. Alma’s character was a little rushed. It needed to be fleshed out a bit so that we could understand her transitions a bit more. All in all, really good storytelling. Really interesting characters and very creative ending. Loved it.
POOR DEE!!! 💔 However, that beautiful scene 🎬 of Dee, Vern… Scooter’s baby… even Rocko 🐕 in the background, on the sofa… his owners either dead, or on trial for murder… All the unwanted, orphaned characters, each now without family to claim them… came together & formed a supportive family unit.
It's great that we saw how there can be different reasons for why woman kill we see beth ann kill her cheating and manipulating husband then simone for and Alma for envy to the where she would kill her own husband to reach her goal
I don't like that, the way it ended. It makes it seem like women's dreams especially married women who are seen to "have all the best things" or "all they need" seem pointless and "vanity" something useless that will end badly, while a married man's dreams are to "make their wives happy" have a "happy home with pitter pattering feet" which is seen as "more desirable" and much worth chasing after. I mean if a wife was to watch this and go chasing after more friends to spend time with and a "garden party", everyone who things that their life as a housewife is enough especially the husband will probably encourage them not to. "you don't need those" "it's pointless" "it will only lead somewhere unpleasant", while his dream was already achieved". It kind of puts a bad light on her dreams and puts a good light on his. It's like she doesn't need more after marriage. It was written by a man, so,
It's not that she wanted more and had dreams of her own, it's how she pursued that. She got too obsessed with power. That can happen to anyone who has spent their whole lives powerless, like she did. We have lots ands lots of movies and shows on the descent to madness route, but mostly the main character is male. She literally disregarded human life, plotted a lot of murders, including her daughter's husband, to be safe. It's a thriller show about women. It doesn't generalize that married middle-aged women should conform with what they have, it's just about one married middle aged woman who went insane. She already got what she wanted in the show and when she realized she wanted more and that she could get away with how she achieved her goals, she got addicted. People like this exist in the real world. Let's leave complex villainous roles to men only, then, since it's sexist to have a woman shine as a protagonist villain.
@@steve-uo3lw it's not like there were countless works of art about women killing for unsustaincial reasons already right? because there were. It just sorta loses the point of the first season. Point isn't that women can kill, it's that the reasons for them to do so are often rooted in the systems that bring them or ones they love down. For example, huge chunk of women convicted for murder is in self-defense, you know, which is rarely talked about? A murderess murdering for power or fame is nothing new
There's a large part of me that just feels sorry for Dee. Both her parents gone, gruesomely and in infamy, when weeks before they were just a happy little family. (With a dark secret from her dad, but still!!!!)
I kinda thought Bertram would have been more popular considering that he killed a lot more people and did not get caught for a very long time. In that sense, even in jail or after death, Alma would have become second and not first. It was kinda scary how she was so happy going to jail and being sentenced to death that I want to take her down a peg or two
this season didn't make any consistency for it to be a season 2 much rather it seemed like a spin off or a different show all together. the premise of season 1 revolves around 3 different women living in different eras of the same house that's the significant plot to the show and yet this season had no ties to that what so ever. it's a good show on it's own but quite incompatible for it to be a season 2 for wwk. I don't know who decided to pitch in for this to be a season 2 but they did not think things through. it might have been more of a success as a standalone rather then trying to be part of the wwk franchise.
What kind of storyline do you think they'll go for if there's a season 3? Something like season 1, something like season 2 or something completely different?
@@stefanmakara373 I guess … but I hope it would be like season 1 the storyline with the 3 stories was perfect I mean, everything was perfect in season 1. Season 2 was actually good but it’s obviously not better that the first one, I didn’t like both of the main characters (alma the psycho and Rita )
Something completely different, there are so much diversity in woman killings. I remember a documental series. But I guess the murder will be similar to season 1, cause stories of women as a serial killers are not so common. And Alba’s story cover most stories
I dont "love" Alma, but I LOVE her narration, she's the perfect exemple of the little happy outcast who's tired of being the left over one and decide to do everything no matter what it takes even their souls or mental health. Cause in light there is darkness and vice versa. So Alma développement is the most interesting thing in wwk2 for me.
@@nonamebeetch2453 you’re right but she did no Mather what for this, she didn’t care about her own family, I understood her at first but the moment she betrayed Grace, I knew that she was not normal. Damn it was her only friend and she ruined everything just to be “the president”. Her “happy ending” was soo cringe, it seems like she don’t see the psycho that she became
am i the only one rooting for alma all the way?? yes her actions werent justified but as a fellow underdog, wallflower & pretty much 3rd wheel all my life it’s refreshing to see a similar protagonist turned that life around for herself, regardless of how short the high lasted…😔
She didn't need to murder anyone to turn her life around. And she had a husband and daughter who loved her, and a beautiful house. Those are things some people would ACTUALLY kill for. She could have worked on her appearance and personality. But she decided to commit heinous crimes in order to be noticed. Sad.
I don't feel bad about Rita's death and Alma paid with her life! Her character development here wax very well done from dumpy mousy housewife to calculating president and serial killer!
Such a great story with heaps of twists & turns… with poor invisible, 🫥 mocked Alma having her own Norma Desmond/Sunset Boulevard moment of madness & delirious moment of glory in the spotlight. I just felt sorry for poor Dee. I’m just thankful that she & Vern weren’t killed as well!
Ngl, I’m mad Alma let herself to get caught (although I understand that she’d gone mad and dissociated). Still, all that work for what 😭 Bertie was offering her an “easy” way out 😏
I liked Alma in the beginning but she became a wannabe the neighbor already told her she didn’t fit in she wasn’t lying at all. And then they end up taking the neighbor out Alma backstabbed the one person in that group who actually liked her by revealing her secret and Rita was mean but she didn’t k word her husband I hated how that ended for her it all went downhill for her for that guy which wasn’t that serious and Alma wanting to be accepted. Alma destiny didn’t go quite well in the end though.
I like season 1 more because it was actually very reasonable. Poor ladies that hat enough of their husband/lovers because they were pure evil. But that one. Still great show for entertainment buttttt. Its just a psychotic mass murder that lives in a illusion. I don't know how that stands for powerful woman but yeah still good entertainment
No Alma did not kill Bertram. They had both decided to use his drug to end their lives so they could escape all of the punishments they were going to face, so Bertram injected himself, but Alma said they shouldn’t do it and then it was too late and Bertram was dead.

Their motivations were wildly different, leading to her looking down upon his killings yet justifying her own.
4- Alma’s personality takes a total 360 (obviously) as in the beginning she’s a timid shy woman who just wants friends, but by the end is 100% willing to manipulate others (including her own daughter)
5- I believe Alma took her insecurities out on Dee, which is seen when Dee talks about her hookups, and how Alma told her girls like them don’t get chances or get noticed.
that’s really my conclusion, I could theorize all day about Alma, honestly.
you can see in the newspaper she was only charged for the murders she committed.
@@somnodaur8064 didn’t notice that, thank you!
360? That's full circle, aka returning to beginning
180 dear, you mean 180
360 fits here too. Because at the end she wears gray clothes again (even though she's still crazy)
I missed Desperate Housewives and this felt like something that happened on Wisteria Lane a long long time ago. And the ending is just perfection. D
Season 2 was amazing. Love how it differs from season 1. I loved the series can’t wait to see how season 3 will be
It got canceled. It was going to be a woman who gets revenge on her co worker cliques. It was going to be so good. It needs to be picked up by another network. We deserve season 3
@@multifandom5942 how do you know that? what time period was it going to be?
@@welcome2bangkok-d1x i read it in a article. The time period was going to be the 40s like in s2
@@welcome2bangkok-d1x it was going to be about a woman in her work business taking down people in the cliques in her workplace as she sees fit. I think it was going to be good tbh
@@multifandom5942 I already love the plot, I’m sad it was cancelled now
This reminds me of the ending of Sunset Boulevard. "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille."
This whole show deserves an Oscar. It was ALL brilliantly done.
I’ve BEEN looking for the ending. Thanks so much for unloading! My soul is now at peace ❤
I watched it for Rita, but fell in love with Alma even more.
Loved this story and the narration was superb!! Bravo 👏.
In a sick way, I can understand and identify with her rather than her actions. I've always been a nobody who's also wished for attention. Ive struggled with feeling insecure like I didn't matter for a long time. I compared myself to girls I was friends with often. I would compare the clothes I had to what they had. It didn't help that I was socially awkward (and possibly autistic). I've only realized over time now especially with the help of my girlfriend that I am special. But watching this show in a sense, it hit me hard a bit at this is something I could be to a degree if I found myself constantly fretting myself for what I'm not instead of accepting myself
I bash on this season quite a bit at first, but Alma remains as someone I could truly relate to
Same here
Sounds to me like you need counseling pal.
I feel you, I actually kinda felt bad for Alma in a way
Haven't seen a good good ending to a good show in years!!!! 👏👏👏 found myself clapping...lol
Just finished the season. I'm so heartbroken Season 3 was cancelled.
It i my personal theory that Why Women Kill is actually a fictional story being written by Karl Grove during the last year of his life. This is why the narrator seemingly has his same voice, and why the principle cause of death for the most of the characters is injection---the exact means that he was considering to end his own life.
Was Karl a writer though? I can't remember. The only one I remember writing was Eli.
@@cecil2742 if he was, it was never stated in the story. I’m just having fun with the idea because of the voice
I loved the first season and I never could have imagined that they will make the second one even better. This shit was one of the best shit I've seen on TV
I love this ending so much. I love Alma in the bloodiest garden!!!!!
1:19 best part 🥰
Shows that Alma was looking to embrace her serial killer tendencies.
This season really felt like Mean Girls except it was set in the late 40s and the main character stayed plastic
It would of been cool if Carl from season one turned out to be dee’s baby and that’s why he was narrating the story.
I love season 2 so much! Solid storyline and cast.
I didn't like this season as much as the first. Season 1 was funnier and had more likeable lead Characters. Rita and Alma were not likeable alot of the times. I had sympathy for both of them Alma self absorbing behavior that was so over the top in. In a way, it was like watching the woman lose her damn mind and turn in to a sociopath with delusions of grandeur. N she Transition from a meek and timid woman to all that felt alittle to quick. It's like I get it but I don't. No concern for her husband or daughter at the end. She just didn't snap put of it 😕 and that deep deep level of disconnect was so wierd. The clothes and make up and all that...they made it seem like she couldn't afford fancy clothes and then all of sudden she could. From no style to all the style.
I see what you mean, though thanks to the trailer I went in knowing it would be completely different. I guess they felt that they couldn't risk making the two seasons too similar to each other or else then absolutely no one would watch. Think they'll go for a different storyline again in season 3?
As for the clothes all I can guess is that either she kept buying the cheaper material and her sewing skills got better and had managed to cement herself into the garden club enough so that now no-one made fun of her clothes or they were willing to lend her money to afford clothes. That's all I got. And I'm guessing the jewellery is either fake/costume jewellery or that they belonged to the dead woman in the back yard. Still it's all comedy it doesn't have to make complete sense.
But I get what you mean.
I agree with the part of the styling. Ans yes that was s2 about how alba become a serial killer, a woman serial killer normally have like a trauma event that brake their brains and starts a delusional reality, so her darkest feelings were being insecure and that how she rationalize her killings. And probably she was already a sociopath but not a murderous one until she got delusional.
Remember she stole her neighbours clothes.
@@c45177LOL yeah, she even admitted it herself, Mrs Yost had good taste, no wonder she called her a "frump".
I thought season 2 was fantastic. It felt different but it was supposed to. People who hated season 2 wanted it to be identical to season 1. Heck if they repeated every line in season 1 with different actors they would have thought it a masterpeice. People don't like change.
Haven't watched a series this good since desperate housewives
I' know exactly how she feels,when you get a certain age, people don't t see you anymore.
It's a blessing for women. After being cat called and u wanted attention and groping in public transport, it is peaceful to not get noticed. U can go ur own merry way and do whatever ru like. Being invisible have its own perks. But people r attention seekers desperately they dont realise it.
I'm 47. I don't feel like people don't see me. I feel like they see me differently. The attention that I see less of than I was younger is the unwanted, intrusive kind and I don't miss it. It still happens occassionally, and I'm like really, we're still doing that?
Best acting and story telling ever
This was actually better than season 1 in my opinion. Alma’s character was a little rushed. It needed to be fleshed out a bit so that we could understand her transitions a bit more. All in all, really good storytelling. Really interesting characters and very creative ending. Loved it.
Best ending ever
I bet that no one (or almost) saw Alma coming. She turned out to be even more evil than Rita at her worst.
POOR DEE!!! 💔
However, that beautiful scene 🎬 of Dee, Vern… Scooter’s baby… even Rocko 🐕 in the background, on the sofa… his owners either dead, or on trial for murder…
All the unwanted, orphaned characters, each now without family to claim them… came together & formed a supportive family unit.
She does a fantastic job at playing that role.
the ending reminded of the ending in sunset boulevard
It's great that we saw how there can be different reasons for why woman kill we see beth ann kill her cheating and manipulating husband then simone for and Alma for envy to the where she would kill her own husband to reach her goal
I saw the thumbnail and caption thinking htf she got a good ending!😂
What was Sad and funny at the same time is when
The vet. Hubby finally confesses to Alma " I just cannot catch up with you !!"😅😅
1:20 I can't believe Alma's daughter would react like "oh, wow, never mind", Alma was a good mother to her and she was a nice mother in law too.
I don't like that, the way it ended. It makes it seem like women's dreams especially married women who are seen to "have all the best things" or "all they need" seem pointless and "vanity" something useless that will end badly, while a married man's dreams are to "make their wives happy" have a "happy home with pitter pattering feet" which is seen as "more desirable" and much worth chasing after. I mean if a wife was to watch this and go chasing after more friends to spend time with and a "garden party", everyone who things that their life as a housewife is enough especially the husband will probably encourage them not to. "you don't need those" "it's pointless" "it will only lead somewhere unpleasant", while his dream was already achieved". It kind of puts a bad light on her dreams and puts a good light on his. It's like she doesn't need more after marriage. It was written by a man, so,
yea, it's so condescending. sad, they ruined the end of season 2 with misogyny.
It was also written by a women.
Also, isn't she crazy?
It's not that she wanted more and had dreams of her own, it's how she pursued that. She got too obsessed with power. That can happen to anyone who has spent their whole lives powerless, like she did. We have lots ands lots of movies and shows on the descent to madness route, but mostly the main character is male. She literally disregarded human life, plotted a lot of murders, including her daughter's husband, to be safe. It's a thriller show about women. It doesn't generalize that married middle-aged women should conform with what they have, it's just about one married middle aged woman who went insane. She already got what she wanted in the show and when she realized she wanted more and that she could get away with how she achieved her goals, she got addicted. People like this exist in the real world.
Let's leave complex villainous roles to men only, then, since it's sexist to have a woman shine as a protagonist villain.
@@steve-uo3lw it's not like there were countless works of art about women killing for unsustaincial reasons already right? because there were. It just sorta loses the point of the first season. Point isn't that women can kill, it's that the reasons for them to do so are often rooted in the systems that bring them or ones they love down. For example, huge chunk of women convicted for murder is in self-defense, you know, which is rarely talked about? A murderess murdering for power or fame is nothing new
I love the part starting at 0:48 and the circus music starting at 2:13.
There's a large part of me that just feels sorry for Dee. Both her parents gone, gruesomely and in infamy, when weeks before they were just a happy little family. (With a dark secret from her dad, but still!!!!)
I kinda thought Bertram would have been more popular considering that he killed a lot more people and did not get caught for a very long time. In that sense, even in jail or after death, Alma would have become second and not first. It was kinda scary how she was so happy going to jail and being sentenced to death that I want to take her down a peg or two
Alma got blamed for his killings as well, look at the newspapers.
this season didn't make any consistency for it to be a season 2 much rather it seemed like a spin off or a different show all together. the premise of season 1 revolves around 3 different women living in different eras of the same house that's the significant plot to the show and yet this season had no ties to that what so ever. it's a good show on it's own but quite incompatible for it to be a season 2 for wwk. I don't know who decided to pitch in for this to be a season 2 but they did not think things through. it might have been more of a success as a standalone rather then trying to be part of the wwk franchise.
Delulu is the selulu 🤣🤣🤣
What kind of storyline do you think they'll go for if there's a season 3? Something like season 1, something like season 2 or something completely different?
Since season 2 was completely different from season 1, I bet season 3 will be completely different from both of those!
@@stefanmakara373 and it will probably be set in the 70s
@@stefanmakara373 I guess … but I hope it would be like season 1 the storyline with the 3 stories was perfect I mean, everything was perfect in season 1. Season 2 was actually good but it’s obviously not better that the first one, I didn’t like both of the main characters (alma the psycho and Rita )
I wonder if they'll go for something in the Victorian era or something more 'modern' like 70s or 90s.
Something completely different, there are so much diversity in woman killings. I remember a documental series. But I guess the murder will be similar to season 1, cause stories of women as a serial killers are not so common. And Alba’s story cover most stories
She is so savage, oh my I love her. She's charming 🥺
This season was scarily good
She reminds me of Lady Macbeth
More twisted than her husband
Can u imagine, a murderer smiling at a victim's family like that.
Love Alma
why
I dont "love" Alma, but I LOVE her narration, she's the perfect exemple of the little happy outcast who's tired of being the left over one and decide to do everything no matter what it takes even their souls or mental health. Cause in light there is darkness and vice versa.
So Alma développement is the most interesting thing in wwk2 for me.
@@nonamebeetch2453 you’re right but she did no Mather what for this, she didn’t care about her own family, I understood her at first but the moment she betrayed Grace, I knew that she was not normal. Damn it was her only friend and she ruined everything just to be “the president”. Her “happy ending” was soo cringe, it seems like she don’t see the psycho that she became
@@kamss7117 And yes ! She didn't see it it's called psychose.
I need a season 3!
If only people hadn’t paid attention to it. Then she’d be miserable.
It's pretty accurate how some trials become "show trials ", OJ Simpson, Johnny Depp.....
"The Bloodiest Garden" 😮
Can't believe this is the ending.
I love that end scene.
am i the only one rooting for alma all the way?? yes her actions werent justified but as a fellow underdog, wallflower & pretty much 3rd wheel all my life it’s refreshing to see a similar protagonist turned that life around for herself, regardless of how short the high lasted…😔
She didn't need to murder anyone to turn her life around. And she had a husband and daughter who loved her, and a beautiful house. Those are things some people would ACTUALLY kill for. She could have worked on her appearance and personality. But she decided to commit heinous crimes in order to be noticed. Sad.
On what streaming service can I find this series? I MUST watch it!
I don't feel bad about Rita's death and Alma paid with her life! Her character development here wax very well done from dumpy mousy housewife to calculating president and serial killer!
Such a great story with heaps of twists & turns… with poor invisible, 🫥 mocked Alma having her own Norma Desmond/Sunset Boulevard moment of madness & delirious moment of glory in the spotlight.
I just felt sorry for poor Dee. I’m just thankful that she & Vern weren’t killed as well!
Alma is the best
Wow!
This is completely delusional & detached.
Psychopaths are a trip.
°~•.☆.•~°
maybe that's how sociopath sees things...
The white dress reminds me of the dress Gertrude wore in the Dressmaker
What will be get for season 3 ? The ones after Eli and Taylor ?
best part starts at 1:40
Like a mix of Female Trouble and Sunset Boulevard......
That is so true! Alma is like a mashup of Dawn Davenport and Norma Desmond.
Bizarre
Alma was a psychopath
This reminds me of Nicole Kidman in To Die For, a bit
Should have atleast tied the season 2 to season 1, like making it the same house or atleast same lot. Idk something like that
Ooooh so she’s nuts
Ngl, I’m mad Alma let herself to get caught (although I understand that she’d gone mad and dissociated). Still, all that work for what 😭 Bertie was offering her an “easy” way out 😏
This season was a new york sunset Blvd
Season 1 was the best. Should have stuck with that theme! This felt like a completely different show. I see Y it was canceled
Alma deserved her happiness.
Alma means soul.
Season 1 was the best I wish the story could have continued
I don’t get season 2 at all💔
this ending explains why alot of people kill
I always imagined dexter ending similarly to this.
I liked Alma in the beginning but she became a wannabe the neighbor already told her she didn’t fit in she wasn’t lying at all. And then they end up taking the neighbor out Alma backstabbed the one person in that group who actually liked her by revealing her secret and Rita was mean but she didn’t k word her husband I hated how that ended for her it all went downhill for her for that guy which wasn’t that serious and Alma wanting to be accepted. Alma destiny didn’t go quite well in the end though.
Where can I watch both seasons?
I like season 1 more because it was actually very reasonable. Poor ladies that hat enough of their husband/lovers because they were pure evil.
But that one. Still great show for entertainment buttttt. Its just a psychotic mass murder that lives in a illusion. I don't know how that stands for powerful woman but yeah still good entertainment
Reminds me of the end of Sunset Boulevard
Why didn’t the husband turn his wife in? She obviously didn’t care about him anymore. She just wanted popularity
He was a softer man who was in love with her and also, a killer himself.
Seeing her transition only made hate Rita more. Sometimes, we don't understand how our cruel responses can transform someone nice at heart.
Did Alma kill Bertram? Or did he die some other way?
No Alma did not kill Bertram. They had both decided to use his drug to end their lives so they could escape all of the punishments they were going to face, so Bertram injected himself, but Alma said they shouldn’t do it and then it was too late and Bertram was dead.
@@CTVC2 Gotcha thanks!
