What do you think? Are you excited for the return of The Other Two on HBO Max? Did you watch the first season on Comedy Central?
I enjoyed the first season on comedy Central, but I won’ t order HBO MAX for season two.
I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.
Oh good! It’s been so long since the first season that I thought it had been quietly cancelled!
