What Are the Critics Saying About The Vow Season 2?
The Vow Season 2 has an official critics rating of 64% and an average audience score of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Lauren Piester from The Wrap writes, “While the first season is necessary viewing to really understand the second, the second feels like the more vital piece of the story — less salacious, more balanced, but still sad and horrifying all the same.”
CNN’s Brian Lowry says, “While The Vow Part Two gives viewers a front-row seat of the federal trial against founder Keith Raniere, it’s a more fragmented exercise that feels unduly stretched over six parts.”
