As junior year begins, Alexa & Katie find college casting a dark cloud over their lives and friendship.
Alexa & Katie’s second season enhances what worked the first season, but forgets developing most of the characters that fill out the cast.
Alexa & Katie is a throwback to simpler times. Back when kids shows didn’t have political elements or were about starting larger conversations. It is just simple jokes and characters, with a cancer gimmick for some flavor.
It’s a feel-good finale which has the slightest bit of drama, but pretty much is one feel good moment after another.
As expected, something happens which nearly ruins the possibility of Dylan x Alexa, and its Lucas’ fault.
It’s decision-making time! Three major decisions – well one real major and two major for the moment, are made.
Robbie finally appears and his relationship with Katie explains Katie’s relationship with Alexa.
Alexa finds a vicarious way to attend school but in the process, loses one opportunity but gains another.
Katie ends up pulling an Alexa as she goes overboard because she isn’t getting enough attention and feels things changing.
Alexa’s dependency on Katie becomes an issue when she realizes Katie has the potential to have other friends.
It’s the “Ungroundable” episode all over again, but now Alexa is trying to push Gwenny to be who she used to be.
Katie gets the cancer kid treatment and while it begins with some likable treats, the pity begins to get to her.
One of the side effects of cancer seems to be a more lenient Lori, and this worries Alexa to the point of seeing if her mom still cares if she causes trouble.
It’s time for basketball tryouts and Katie ends up helping Alexa by allowing her to live vicariously through her. Problem is, Katie knows very little about basketball.
With heads freshly shaven, the girls need some wigs and with that comes a bit of insecurity.
Alexa and Katie seems like something Netflix stole from the Disney Channel in terms of both the way the comedy is set up and Disney’s new venture into more mature topics.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
