"The Big Door Prize" on Apple TV, is back for season two, and it's trying hard to make you laugh and cry. A strange machine shows up in town, promising to show everyone their true potential. People start changing their lives, jobs, and relationships,for a better future. If you haven't seen season one, there you'll find some spoilers ahead.
I really like this show because I'm a big fan of "The IT Crowd," and seeing Chris O'Dowd in it was great. He's is very funny in the story. But this season, some things about his character are changing, which makes me like him a little less. Other characters, like Cass, Hana, and Father Ruben, have interesting stories too. Josh Segarra (Giorgio), surprised me the most with his character growth.
The episodes are sometimes it felt a bit slow, but it matched how the characters were feeling. The funny moments with deeper thoughts really well. The story has also bit sadness, as the characters figure out what their potential means for them.
This show doesn't have any sex or violence, but there's some frank talk about sex and some swearing.
