I can see why it wasn't as popular as the first. The lead guy isn't a star in the way Anna Kendrick was... I think Jessica Williams is a star and she would've brought them in, but I recognise they wanted to tell the male story.
On the male thing... it was maybe too honest in its depiction of men! In season one Anna is always looking for love... In this one the guy gets sick of his wife pretty quick and has an emotional affair. He meets the one, Jessica Williams, but it takes a bunch of episodes for them to get together.
Maybe the lead could've been dealt a few more curve balls - like if Becca had had the baby and it was disabled, or just had the baby, or he'd fallen out with his friends. Or something.
Some of the writing is terrific though. The acting can't be faulted. It's smart entertainment, easy to watch.
