Special is back with Season 2
Ryan really needs to get his shit together. It's been two months and he still hasn't spoken to Karen since their fight and he has a gnarly case of writer's block that's getting him in hot water with Olivia.
Enter Tanner (Max Jenkins), a fun, flirty dance instructor who charms Ryan O’Connell despite not being totally available. When his writer’s block eventually lifts, he’s inspired to write a longform piece about disability.
From there, he begins a journey of self-discovery that creates unexpected complications in his relationship with Tanner.
Meanwhile, Kim lets her guard down when she meets Harrison, a sensitive tech mogul with a humble background – but her insecurities and jealous tendencies continue to hamper her personal life and threaten to push Harrison away.
With her spiralling credit card debt driving Kim (Punam Patel) even further towards rock bottom, she makes a hard choice to regain control of her finances and personal life.
Since taking care of Ryan was her life’s purpose until their fight, Karen realises that she needs to take an active approach to create a fulfilling life for herself – beyond just taking care of her ailing mother. Will she be content with continuing to clean up everyone else’s messes, or will Karen (Jessica Hecht) be able to lean into her newfound independence and create a life that centers around her own desires for once?
This season is about our primary characters—Ryan, Karen and Kim—coming into their power and realising they all deserve big gorgeous lives—whether society agrees or not, bitch!
I love this season of Special too, it’s truly a great comedy and makes me laugh hard! Ryan truly keeps Special being special! Looking forward to season 3!
