– Firefly Lane Season 2 Part Review Contains No Spoilers –
Where can I start? Firstly a big kudos to the entire Firefly Lane cast and crew for presenting a series that could both comfort you and make you jealous. The beautiful friendship between Tully and Kate is not flawless but imperfectly perfect.
Even if they go without talking for years, they’re just one phone call away. That said, continuing from season 2, part 1, when Kate tries to connect with Tully, a phone call makes the latter rush to Kate. Tully learns about Kate’s cancer, and she is the only one who treats her normally and doesn’t look down with pity.
Though when both of them seem to look all happy-happy, we see how the ladies who have been pretending to be strong but are deeply affected. Kate breaks down multiple times but hides it for the sake of the ones she loves, and Tully, who literally has only Kate, experiences severe panic attacks whenever she thinks of her best friend’s condition. Thankfully for both their aid, we have two gentlemen, Johnny and Danny.
All 7 episodes have a mixture of flashbacks showing their early teens, 20s, 30s, and their 40s. The constant jump in the time period makes the series stand out and feel fresh. It doesn’t make one miss out on anything because the creators have aligned them all so perfectly that we get to see different moments of the bold Tully and brave Kate while also understanding the sequences.

Stop Cutting the Onions
In so many scenes, their unimaginable friendship will make you cry. It certainly made me bawl my eyes out, no lie. The way these two ladies depend on each other makes one witness their supposed sisterhood is beyond that.
They’re legit soulmates who look after each other. No matter what happens or who flips, the other half runs to the other right one time. The beautiful dialogue, and the locations they have used to help the leads reminisce their memories, will also pull the viewers into their memory path.
Coming to the main part, Kate’s cancer is, of course, aggressive, but she’s not ready to die because she’s a fighter. Her battle against it, along with her husband and her friend, makes the show top-notch. I have no idea whether there are wonderful relationships like this these days, but dang, the world needs these sorts of vibes. Kate and Tully have their own pain, yet they prioritise each other’s struggles first—that’s what we all deserve, don’t we?
Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2 Review Final Thoughts: What an Emotional Ride
The last two episodes literally gave me a heart attack because who will want Kate and Tully’s story to end? I surely don’t want it to end. Just like I thought, the ending is comforting. It’s like a print in one’s heart that won’t and can’t be erased. Kate and Tully are the epitome of soulmates that prove relationships needn’t always be sexual or romantic, sometimes, it’s just pure love.
