Stars: 5/5 ⭐️ Season two of The Real O'Neals is way better than season one. Possibly because you have gotten to know these characters for some time, or the writing got better, or something, because the second season is great. So The Real O'Neals follows the O'Neal family, after the family reveals their secrets. The parents, Eileen and Pat, played by Martha Plimpton and Jay R. Ferguson, are getting divorced, the oldest son, Jimmy, played by Matt Shively, is anorexic, the middle child, younger brother, and main character of the show, Kenny, played by Noah Galvin, is gay, and the youngest child, Shannon, played by Bebe Wood, is a thief. And season two starts with the new school year, and right from the get go there is a lot of positive lgbtq+ representation. The first episode is about how Kenny wants to start a lgbtq+ club at his school, and he does so, getting only one person to join, but I think the character, Allison, is great in showing that it only takes one person (Kenny) to help you be open about yourself. Also, this season Kenny gets a boyfriend, and the relationship is treated like any straight relationship on tv with Kenny dealing with the same problems that straight character deal with when it comes to relationships. Also, the character V.P. Murray gets great character improvement in the second season, as in the first he's a little annoying, but when he starts dating Eileen, he gets so much character development, and he turns into a really great character. And while the show is throwing all these comedic plots and jokes at you, there is a lot of heart in the second season as well, and so when it's not totally funny, the show is still engaging. The show even tackles some big issues like parents not being accepting of their kids sexuality, and what life is like post-divorce but still living with your ex. So the second season is great, and amazing, and I think it has one of the best opening gags for the start of a season.
