Welcome toThe Afterpartyseason two, Vulture readers!
Or should we call it theAfterpartyAfter-Party?
Hmmm, well workshop that.
Was this by design by the murderer or an accidental double killing?
Much like a rom-com sequel, this episode ofThe Afterpartydoes not quite capture the magic of the original.
But I have hope for the season as a whole.
Zoe:Maid of Honor, Graces sister.
She is very protective of Grace and wants to clear her name of murder ASAP.
Grace:The bride!
She loves antiques and unnecessary knitting.
Edgar:The murdered groom.
An eccentric Silicon Valley megawealthy nerd with a pet lizard that travels the world on Edgars shoulder.
Feng (Ken Jeong):Grace and Zoes dad, a.k.a.
the King of Bing.
He runs a Taiwanese shaved-ice company with a social-media intern named Kyler.
Vivian (Vivian Wu):Grace and Zoes mom.
She doesnt get much to do in the first episode but also hated Brett and seems not-totally-enamored with Aniq.
Isabel (Elizabeth Perkins):Edgar and Hannahs mother.
Shes one to watch, for sure.
She designed the floral arrangements at the rehearsal dinner and seems like an odd duck.
Sebastian (Jack Whitehall):Edgars English business partner in an as-yet-unexplained way.
He seems too smooth and charming to be true.
Earlier in the weekend, he told Aniq they needed to save Grace.
Funcle Ulysses (John Cho): Grace and Zoes long-lost fun uncle (a.k.a.
funcle), brother of Fengs.
Aniq sees Ulysses, Feng, and Vivian fighting the night before the wedding.
Danner:The former detective who solved Xaviers murder in season one.
Good at collecting everyones stories/witness statements to look for clues.
She has a soft spot for Aniq and is a major Aniq-Zoe shipper.
She even brought Aniq some nuggets from her drive-through stop while she was driving to the wedding venue!
Roxana:Edgars beloved pet lizard.
Who and what seems suspicious to you all so far?
Its early days, but my Scooby-Doo antennae are tingling whenever Sebastian appears onscreen.
Starting with … Why are the murdered guys onThe Afterpartyalways the funniest?
I cant wait to see what these cast members do with their allotted mind movie episodes.
Its really cute that Aniq and Zoe are still together and so happy and that he wants to propose.
Fingers crossed nothing comes out over the course of this murder investigation to mess that up.
Im a little bit afraid that their pinky swear to have a fun and relaxing weekend jinxed everything.
