Necessary Roughness Season 2

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Shrek has rescued Princess Fiona, got married, and now is time to meet the parents. Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey set off to Far, Far Away to meet Fiona’s mother and father. But not everyone is

Necessary Roughness established itself as a heartfelt drama of a recently divorced psychotherapist who goes to work for a New York football team. As well as treating the team and all the dramas attendent to sports as big business, Necessary Roughness had a patient of the week format that made it accessible to new viewers. Terrence King, the good-hearted bad boy wide receiver is shot in the season finale and season two opens not only with the fall-out from the shooting, but with hints from other long-term storylines related to the team. The mysterious family that owns the Hawks will be more in evidence this season it seems as will the enigmatic head of security.

I was surprised to find that I liked Necessary Roughness as much as I did as I am indifferent to football. But NR isn’t about football, it is about people and the therapist who knows them and sometimes treats them. The performances are solid and convincing without being melodramatic and the writing is believable – realism that isn’t boring or forced. I’m especially excited that some secondary characters are going to get more story-time this season and will be watching this drama develop.

This series gets a bit beyond lackluster stereotypes except for the therapy part where platitudes seem to be the cure for every ill. Dani is an o.k. therapist, I guess, but most deluded when it comes to her own relationships. Matt is a trip down memory lane hoping and praying for a do-over of her past. Nico represents the future and, I wish, a much better prospect for a mature and grown-up Dani looking ahead. These two very different men are the subtext to the overall theme of a therapist with high-powered clients who play games for a living. Dani, though diminutive in size, can stand up to the toughest client both emotionally and physically. There is enough of a story line where another season would be appreciated. However, the “getting real” is as much of an issue for the writers of this series as it is for their characters, Dani especially.

This is a great show. Season Two, more then the other two seasons, touches on some serious subject matters but is also funny, sad, dramatic, interesting, romantic, heroic, & just an interesting show all around. I would recommend watching the whole show. The seasons are short. Season 2 has 16 episodes (the most out of all three seasons) but every season incorporates not just football but many other types of sports into the story-lines. Characters who skateboard, bull-ride, play baseball or tennis & many others are seamlessly added. It’s a good show if you are looking for something different.
