The Comeback Season 2 arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Comeback Season 2 from the crowd. Valerie Cherish, the embattled former sitcom star who, nearly a decade after her first attempt at a comeback, believes she has finally figured out how to reclaim her career — only to discover she hasn’t. Lisa Kudrow and Lance Barber lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2014.
