The Great Indoors: 5 Reasons Why It Needs a Season 2 Renewal
The CBS comedy series The Great Indoors, which released all 13 episodes in January, has yet to be renewed for Season 2. However, the show has already garnered a lot of love from fans and critics alike, and it's time for it to return for another year. Here are the top five reasons why The Great Indoors absolutely must return for a Season 2:
So Many Cameos!
Season 1 of The Great Indoors boasted many surprising, hilarious, and charming cameos from recognizable stars. From a poster of Megan Fox coming alive to the show's executive producer Joel McHale playing a fictionalized version of himself, the series got creative with its cameos. Everest Industries welcomed so many guests, including John Cena, Michael Pena, and even the real-life CEO of Everest Industries, that we can't help but wonder who might show up in a second season.
Joel McHale's Performance!
From his hilarious reactions to pretty much anything anyone does to his over-the-top portrayal of the lead character Jack, we aren't done with our favorite roommate yet. So many of our The Great Indoors laughs came courtesy of McHale's performance as the over-the-top funny friend. We simply can't imagine saying goodbye to this guy so soon!
It Has a Killer Soundtrack
Each episode of the series is named after one song that mimics the events of that installment. For instance, Episode 1, titled "Uptown Funk," opened with the eponymous Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars anthem. The song itself acted as the perfect introduction to the series: It's set to a catchy rhythm, but when you listen to the lyrics, you realize it tells a story about overcoming obstacles. As it turned out, The Great Indoors shared a similarly glitzy exterior paired with a heart-wrenching narrative. And as the series carried on, the soundtrack continued to interact with the stories playing out on screen.
The Characters Deserve More Time
The entire freshman run centered on Jack's efforts to balance his personal life with his work at Everest Industries. Now that he's started to explore his own passions and relationships, it's high time the characters get more time to develop their stories. While they've gotten to dabble in the dating world and work life, they haven't gotten to fully explore their potential yet. We want to have the chance to watch our beloved characters relate to their lives in fun ways, not just live in fear of being found out or stuck in their jobs.
That Cliffhanger Needs to Be Resolved
The season finale of The Great Indoors left us with a major cliffhanger that needs to be resolved. We need to know what happens next for our favorite characters and what challenges they will face in the future. A second season would be the perfect opportunity to continue their story and give us some closure on that cliffhanger.
In conclusion, The Great Indoors is a show that deserves a second season. It has a killer soundtrack, hilarious cameos, a great lead performance by Joel McHale, and characters that deserve more time to develop their stories. Plus, we need to know what happens next! So let's keep singing this show's praises while its fate remains unknown and hope for a Season 2 renewal.
