At its core,UnRealis a series about itself.

UnRealhas been an interesting experience this year to the say the least.
Coming off the second most critically acclaimed debut series of last summer (afterMr.
Robot), its a show that had a lot to prove.
So season two didnt have to be great, it had to be fantastic.
Its tawdry, and over-the-top, and often deeply uncomfortable viewing.
Its also one of the only shows that dares to deal with the topics it does.
This was undoubtedly what the internet and showrunners wanted (who doesnt want good press?
), but it also putUnRealin the same line of fire as its show-within-a-show.
This has all led to one of the most racially-charged seasons of television ever aired.
Quinn and Rachel, our heroes represent that problem.
This, by the end of the episode, causes her to have another breakdown.
Accomplices the audience is asked to care about them as we do the two central women.
And Rachel, in the end, gets her happy ending.
In that regard, its a truly fascinating time for these things to be explored.
Its a complex story, with characters that all have names and backgrounds and established personalities.
That is, after all, what people expect from a sophomore season.
ButUnRealis still hands-down the most meta experience youll have watching a television show.
