UnReal is kind of a mess in season 2. Though Denee Benton's role has me more excited for Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812. I wouldn't call Lifetime highbrow but they are willing to take some chances. They're not at the level of Amazon or Netflix but they'll throw their money around on some unusual projects. It just tends to not be a lot of money. Lately, it seems to be a lot of self-aware properties that play into the camp... A Deadly Adoption, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, Mother May I Sleep With Danger, all those Flowers in the Attic movies. They also did that Steel Magnolias movie and they sort of try when they do biopics. Sort of.
Which is to say... who the hell knows how this will turn out?
