Has anyone else watched season 2? The first season was an underrated and unexpected delight- growing from a by-the-numbers animated comedy to a really complex and dark character study by the end of the run. The second season is a whole lot more confident and sure from the get-go, and has added some really killer talent (Lisa Kudrow!) and remains an acidic satire of Hollywoo- as well as touching on some pretty dark themes about the fleeting nature of happiness.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

yes I'm almost done and really love that show... I've heard it gets really dark by the end. Hoping to finish it this week.
Lin's role is really more of a cameo- just a few lines- but Krakowski and Broderick have fairly substantial roles each (and do wonderful work with them).
I thought the season was terrific, and I appreciated the show's willingness to try new approaches.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
Yeah, I was surprised to hear Lin-Manuel's voice at all. I noticed that they gave him a couple lines as another character later in the episode as well.
Haven't had a chance to finish the new season yet, but it is such a great show.
They're very devoted to featuring Broadway and NY theatre-associated performers in cameos; Martin Short does a few appearances this season and Mara Wilson had a cameo last year. (I'm mostly shocked that Cecil Baldwin hasn't appeared.)
