This second season of Au fil des Jours promises us beautiful family moments between laughter and emotions. The Alvarez welcome you once again to make you discover their adventures!
Penelope, Lydia, Elena and Alex are still in their apartment, more united than ever. This season promises them important advances in their lives.
Schneider and new characters who will also punctuate season two of Au fil des jours.
First of all, the credits always as danceable and attractive. Images of family members look like they've come out of a photo album. The music is very present especially when there is the character of Lydia. She has a very special place in this season. She solidifies the family with her fragility and incredible joie de vivre.
Moreover, the scenario reflects today's American society. Indeed, there are a lot of references to Trump. Racism and the subject of immigrants are dealt with with subtlety. The authors navigate brilliantly between serious subject and lightness.
This season of Au fil des jours is politically engaged. Indeed, one episode deals with the subject of firearms and the danger they can cause. The authors show us that training and licensing do not protect against dangers. This is yet another clever thumb of the nose at Donald Trump's policies that have failed to prevent deadly attacks on schools by armed students.
In terms of character evolution, the tone is always good. The characters are never mean to each other and always help each other. The endearing evolution of Schneider, the clown of the program, is always funny while remaining credible.
As the days go by, it remains on its momentum to tell the post-traumatic stress of women soldiers. We get even more attached to Penelope in this season. We would like her to be happy but we understand why she cannot be fully happy. She makes difficult choices which makes her a strong woman. It is a real example for the youngest (but also the not so young) who watch Au fil des jours.
A retro episode allows us to learn more about the relationship between Victor and Penelope. This episode takes place in 2001 when Elena was just a few weeks old. Penelope and Victor, having learned of the September 11 attack, decide to fight to protect their family and their country from terrorists. Their future experiences in countries at war will make them suffer from post-traumatic stress.
The series also deals with the difficulty of going back to school when you are a woman raising her children alone with a full-time job.
Children grow up and start going outside. Indeed, this season two of Au fil des jours welcomes Elena's first girlfriend, Syd.
The rest of the family is not left out as Penelope finds a former comrade recently divorced. Indeed, Max, a former soldier who now works in the hospital where Penelope studies, will share his life during this season.
In addition, we also discover new characters like Abuelito that we will get to know over the episodes thanks to the souvenir episode. Indeed, he appears in the retro episode of the season and also in the final episode. The relationship between Lydia and Berto is more explained.
Au fil des jours uses the Netflix platform to broadcast values such as the importance of a close-knit and loving family, even if it is a little too loving sometimes.
The characters of Au fil des jours are incredibly highlightedwith a humanistic and realistic scenario! All endearing in a different way we can't wait to discover the next season!
