My Life with the Walter Boys- Season 2 (review)

CONTAINS SPOILERS!

We’re back in Colorado to continue following Jackie’s life with the Walter boys.

Jackie returns from New York to resume living with the Walters and attempts to remain just friends with Alex and Cole, which proves to be harder than expected.

The main storyline is, of course, the love triangle Jackie finds herself in with Alex and Cole. She resumes her relationship with Alex, though she continues to find herself drawn to and have a deeper connection with Cole. When Cole finds Jackie and Alex together, your heart breaks with his. The season ends with Jackie confessing her love for Cole as Alex overhears, therefore leaving things in a similar situation to last season’s finale, but here’s hoping the already-commissioned third season sees the Jackie and Cole relationship finally come to fruition.

Elsewhere, George and Katherine face pressure when their local community opposes the ranch development headed by Will and Richard. This puts a strain on George and Will’s father-son relationship and Katherine is upset as her friends turn their back on her, though it is nice to see George and Katherine remain strong as a couple in the face of adversity.

Cole becomes assistant coach for the Bighorns, though still struggles with no longer playing, in a continuation of his personal development towards becoming a better person. Noah LaLonde is the absolute standout star of the series, expertly portraying heartbreak and disappointment in the complex character in such a delicate and intimate manner. The way he helps Dylan is touching, but the scene in which Cole fails to score a practice goal is particularly heartbreaking.

Alex takes up bronc riding as a new hobby. In the first season, he came across as childish and in this new season it appears he is going to be arrogant from his newfound popularity, which strains his friendship with Kiley, though as his disdain towards Jackie eases, he becomes more likeable. However, this subplot doesn’t consider the ethical implications of the sport.

Danny and Erin build on their relationship, and while theirs also isn’t without drama, they ultimately make a nice couple.

It is disappointing to see Nathan cheat on Skylar so easily when another boy expresses interest in him, but at least Nathan sees sense and Skylar keeps his dignity by not taking him back in the end.

Additionally, Dylan and Kiley’s unexpected budding relationship makes for a nice touch as she brings out the best in him.

It is also noteworthy that Grace remains an amazing and supportive friend to Jackie throughout and is a credit to the lesser cast. 

This series perfectly delivers such warmth and emotion amid such a stunning backdrop as heart and setting beautifully collide to present such a heartwarming story.

9/10
