Servant, critics are willing to make a macabre exception.
Reviews for Season 2 of the Apple TV+ series this are now coming online and folks are apparently in stitches about it. In her A- review for
Entertainment Weekly, writer Kristin Baldwin calls the sophomore outing remarkably funny, adding that the horror saga from Tony Basgallop and M. Night Shyamalan also remains a gripping mystery, blending tension-release giggles with even bleaker moments of terror.
Giving Season 2 an 8 out of 10,
JoBlo s Alex Maidy also points out the show s glaring dichotomies, stating that it s both deeply unsettling and oddly beautiful, especially in how it lingers on the preparation and presentation of meals. Food and wine are as central to this story as the Turner s home, a location that shows more layers this season than we saw in the previous one.
Servant continues with the official trailer for Season 2.
Premiering on Apple TV+ next month, the second season of the M. Night Shyamalan-produced series picks up with the search for Jericho, the infant son of Philadelphia couple Sean and Dorothy Turner (played by Toby Kebbell and Lauren Ambrose, respectively). While Jericho tragically died after being accidentally left in a hot car for too long, he seemed to be resurrected after Dorothy hired a suspicious nanny named Leanne Grayson (Nell Tiger Free). With Leanne leaving the Turner household and returning to her cult at the end of Season 1, the baby reverted back to the faux therapy doll that helped Dorothy cope with her child s death.
