Limetown: Season 2

This Was Only Supposed To Be An Episode Review!!!!

Hey, Belles & Beaux!

I won’t lie. I completely intended this to be an episode by episode run through and yet it didn’t happen. That’s on me, but I also think that it was too much ambition with only five full length episodes with small short pieces between. Plus with the craziness that went with the book review, I didn’t want to jump straight into another Limetown piece until the new season had wrapped.

So if you missed the craziness that accompanied the book review the below two things happened:

Yeah, those two things happened and Limetown needs to just let me be their personal insider because I would love that. I mean, I wouldn’t mind going to the show set and doing an interview or five. #PleaseSponsorMe

Probably won’t happen but a girl can dream, right?

Anyways, you are reading this because I’m giving you the short and clean run down review of Season Two of Limetown. Not to read about me gushing over being shared by a publisher on two forms of social media. So without further ado, lets begin.

Warning: If you haven’t listened to the podcast at all please stop here. There are spoilers for Season One in the following paragraphs.

Season One ended with a huge cliff hanger and one question: Where is Lia Haddock? #WhereisLiaHaddock has followed the fandom on Reddit, Twitter, & Instagram with no answers this season. But then again, I had a feeling we weren’t going to get many in the shape of Lia Haddock’s location or status of her being alive or deceased.

Season Two introduces us to Charlie – uncertain if this is her real name due to her being exactly like Lenore was until she died at the end of Season One after revealing to Lia what had happened to the people of Limetown that didn’t have the tech in their heads. I have stopped trusting anyone with names in the show other than Lia.

As I said, episode one of Season Two introduces us to Charlie – a fixer like Lenore – and an unknown male. Speculations started extremely early about who it was and it wasn’t until we get closer to the end of Season Two that you have enough major clues to put it together. In hindsight of listening to the season again, I realize they basically kept telling us who it was interrogating Charlie, but it never truly clicked until writing this.

We travel through this season by going through tapes. Charlie is extremely thorough with all of her interactions and records everything that she does in regards to finding Lia & Emil. The tape that the first episode expands over is Charlie’s time in London. Charlie has been hired to clean up someone’s life of Limetown. She intercepted the tapes meant to go to Lia’s producer and has listened to them. Not all are Oscar Totem’s recordings and are considered an insurance policy. She delivers these to the person who’s life she’s attempting to clean up.

However, we are learning this information second hand as Charlie has been captured by the unknown male. Each episode soon becomes a walk down interrogations/conversations that Charlie has with people on her trail to potentially finding either Lia or Emil Haddock. And you’re in for a shocker when you finally find out who is interrogating Charlie in the last episode of the season.

This season we only had five full episodes with mini-informational episodes in between. These mini episodes were recordings from Lenore’s collection that she had sent to Lia’s producer that were intercepted by Charlie.

We end where the story began: in Limetown…. And well, the journey to answers have brought us no closer. It explains another idea of why Limetown was created. No, it wasn’t just because of the tech. And if you haven’t read the book, then the ending of the last episode is going to make absolutely no sense to you. Otherwise, you don’t have to read the book to be honest.

A lot of people have been saying that they don’t like the new season, but I felt that it was a needed season. If you’ve read the book, then I will say that I think they are going to follow how it goes switching between points of view.

I’m feeling like there will be a season three. I’m hoping for a season three, so as soon as I hear a whisper or see something official, I’ll retweet it over on ye ole Twitter! Make sure to follow that (@SBGtheblog) to keep up with not only that information but also the blog posts!  And with that we shall momentarily say goodbye to Limetown and my almost Lia Haddock level obsession with it.

Have you ever had a podcast hold you like Limetown has me?

XOXO,
