Comment on The Afterparty is more fun than I expected

I enjoyed the first season a lot, but I could not get into the second season. Lack of a similar framing device, missing some of my favorite actors (at least in the early episodes), but worst of all is, sadly, the performance by Richardson. From what I watched, the second season really leans into his "constantly talking to fill awkward silences" schtick. It was just too much. Nobody in real life acts or behaves that way and is not considered an asshole.

Totally fair! That doesn’t particularly bother me but you’re right that he does that.
My opinion of the second season is mostly thanks to the mini-movies being more creative. I also enjoy Ken Jeong and John Cho.

Maybe I got the episode that focused on his perspective the most? If the rest of the season is more like the first and doesn't always portray him as sympathetic, I could get behind that.
