The season finale of the second season didn’t disappoint. The Joan and Jim subplot was packed with the right amount of tension and detail. I was surprised by the reveal that Joan does in fact love Jim, since their marriage was slightly forced although they did clearly bond, so I guess it kinda makes sense, it just seemed rushed. I
Read moreThis episode was the best penultimate episode of a season of any television show I have ever seen. The chain of events that unleash after Viv tells Annie that Chris is Matron’s son is remarkable. After the revelation, Annie discovers she is pregnant again, which leads to her telling Chris the truth, which leads to the confrontation between him and

So far, all angles of birth at Stanton House had been
Read moreThis episode was absolutely spectacular. Sophie Hensser was easily the MVP of the episode, portraying the entire emotional spectrum. From fear when she saw Joan after witnessing Gail’s death in the previous episode, anxiety with her mother trying to take control over her & her baby to pain & determination during the birth scenes, as well as shock at the
Read moreThe premiere of the second season of Love Child didn’t disappoint. I loved the motif of a New Year and a new decade for a new season. A few months have obviously passed since the finale as Patty and Viv are showing, clearly not far away from giving birth. The sound of Annie’s voice was heaven and posed the question
