Maria rings out her hair post-shower into a cup to drink.

A pug says the line Why is she avoiding the pixelation?

Another pug responds Because she is body positive.

A raccoon is fed a platter of sizzling fajitas.

Welcome back toLady Dynamite, the most energetic and all-around bonkers comedy on television!

And thats saying quite a bit.

*ThoughBig MouthandAmerican Vandalare excellent and you should watch them.

So…uh…wasnt I just talking about raccoons eating fajitas six paragraphs ago?

Thats the beautiful thing aboutLady Dynamite.

Season 2, much like season 1 does not shy away from discussing Bamfords unfortunate mental health history.

One gets the sense that Maria is Nuts!

could have been the show Maria preferred for Lady Dynamite before Netflix wisely convinced her otherwise.

The Maria Bamford ofLady Dynamiteseason 2 is seemingly in a better place than the year before.

Maria is bad at trusting people!)

Its fractured timeline format, however, was jarring with the first few episodes.

The performances in all three timelines are uniformly excellent.

Braunohler is a welcome addition and a perfect fit for Marias dad with his intense Midwestern-ism.

Fred Melamed as Marias other, much sadder agent Bruce Ben-Bacharach is tragically underused through the first three episodes.

Yes, the Maria Bamford of one year in the future is heading to Muskyvision.

The scenes in the future are almost literally nausea-inducing.

Marias experiences producingMaria Bamford is Nutsstart out intense but then grow only stranger and more frenetic.

Fine.Transparentcreator Jill Soloway is involved.

I would never deign to say thatLady Dynamitecaptures the feeling of a manic episode.

AndLady Dynamitewill for sure do that.
