Description
After a year in which she flipped out at work, went to anger management rehab and returned with a new view on things, Amy Jellicoe finally exposed her research outlining her company's toxic sins...and got laughed out of the room. Now, she's back for another round, more determined than ever to expose Abaddonn Industry as a polluter and bastion of corporate greed and corruption in Season 2 of this acclaimed HBO comedy series. Laura Dern won a Golden Globe (Best Actress, TV Series) for her superb performance as Amy. As she immerses herself in gathering evidence, Amy enlists the help of journalist Jeff Flender (Dermot Mulroney) to blow the lid off the scandal, while dreaming of a bigger life and developing feelings for him. Meanwhile, Amy's ex Levi (Luke Wilson) is still at Open Air Treatment Center in Hawaii, but it remains to be seen whether he will embrace recovery or not.
