> [@GuanoLad](#): > > Good news, season 2 is even better. I liked both seasons and they were good in different ways. But personally I thought the musical parody elements of season 2 were a bit weaker: having an arch satire of a musical that’s already an arch satire (like _Chicago_ or _Sweeney Todd_) is a bit of “a hat on a hat” (compared to a satire of something more earnest). The parody of _Pippin/Godspell/Jesus Christ Superstar_ was pretty good, though.

I laughed at the very creative takeoffs of some of the songs from Jesus Christ Superstar in season two, so I’m looking forward to see what they will do with Evita and Phantom of the Opera (and others). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/series-youve-recently-watched-are-now-watching-or-have-given-up-on/946108)._
