Oh my god, the expectation.

Welcome to Wrexham S2 — 3.5/5

It continues to be a great show to half-pay attention to. It's a leisurely tour through a small town, with bursts of excitement. And under both, the anxiety of can they pull this off? It's a great underpinning. Kudos to the editors (or whomever is guiding them) for knowing when to go high or low, and how to piece together the individual threads of a larger tapestry. It's a show that's full of the other side of anxiety: hope. In all, I'm not sure that it reaches the highs of last season—perhaps because the end of their season felt like a foregone conclusion. But still, their tears made me cry.
