Episode Guide
But as the youngest of the Kardashian siblings, Kourtney Jenner has had to shoulder a lot of the load. She’s been thrust into the public eye after her father, Lamar Odom, died in a hotel room in 2016 and she’s been dealing with her own mental health struggles. In an interview with Vanity Fair last year, Kourtney said that she was “a mess” and that she was “not living my life.”
After the end of the somewhat real tv show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the family moved to Hulu to restart their reality show journey. Over its first two seasons, The Kardashians follows the life of the five KarJenner sisters as well as their mother and manager, Kris’ adventures dealing with her children’s personal and professional lives. ..
In the 10 episodes of The Kardashians Season 2, fans saw the family’s journey over the year with Kim starting her romantic journey with Pete Davidson after the end of her high-profile divorce from Kanye West. The show does not touch upon Kim’s law school journey this season while Kourtney is trying to find a way to have a child with Travis Barker, who she marries by the end of the season.
Khloe Kardashian has come across another Tristan Thompson cheating scandal and ironically has a second child with the basketball player via surrogate unbeknownst of the affair. Kendall is having a good time as a model, in her drama and child-free life where she is focused on her tequila business.
Kylie has just given birth to her second child who still remains without an official name whereas the makeup mogul is now very confident in her own skin after being pregnant twice. Kris is going through new challenges as she grows older when she gets total hip replacement surgery during the season and eventually heals.
The events that were retold in the show are nothing out of the ordinary and viewers already get to see this drama and more on the internet. This was my gripe with Season 1 of the show and it continues to irk me how fans are being fed the same cookie-cutter lives of this family to maintain their public image.
The KarJenners are trying their best to avoid drama as much as they can which is why Scott was missing from the entirety of Season 2 when it was him that made Season 1 of the show even a little more dramatic. We get to see the aftermath of Kim’s comment about women in business but the season fails to address the million other things that the family was called out for.
The Astroworld tragedy and Kylie’s take on it were completely ignored, and Kanye’s erratic behaviour with Pete and Kim’s new romance, Kendall’s relationship, and Kourtney’s wedding was completely ignored. I’m not even going to talk about Rob who is not even being mentioned. It’s as if the family is trying to erase him and Dream from the show in order to avoid having trouble with Chyna.
The Kardashian family has been the focus of much attention this season, but it seems like Khloe’s drama is the only one that is worth addressing. The other family members’ lives are barely mentioned and their private lives are left out of the equation. This leaves fans with little to no context for why these characters are so important to the show.
The Kardashian sisters are a powerful PR team that uses the media to give their side of the story. The MET Gala was not a significant event for any of the fans in comparison to Kourtney’s first wedding but it still got two full episodes dedicated to it.
Fans of the Kardashian family are withdrawing their interest in the show because there is no risk involved and the family is doing its best to avoid any more backlash than they usually get online. The Kardashian show was as bland as – if not more than – Kendall’s cucumber-cutting skills and if I were you, I’d skip the show in its entirety and watch something worth your time.
