It’s just the other side of the end of the world as we know it, and it keeps on keepin’ on for the second season of Mulligan , the animated Netflix series from 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt writers/creators Sam Means and Robert Carlock, with Tina Fey, Dana Carvey and Chrissy Teigen leading the voice cast. The first season established the concept: IN A WORLD where humanity has been all but wiped out by invading aliens, the 1,100-ish people left not dead in the rubble are hereby tasked with making us laugh by lampooning our current reality and making as many silly pop-cultural references as possible. The first season was pretty Gen-X/ Simpsons -derivative, but funny enough at times, and the second pretty much maintains that M.
O. Opening Shot: President Mulligan (Nat Faxon) sits in the Oval Office, singing and dancing a musical recap of the State of Things in America, post-getting nearly obliterated by intelligent green praying mantis aliens. The Gist: So what happened in the first season that’s worth noting here? A zillion jokes (about 51 percent of which landed), and would-be first lady and former Miss America candidate Lucy (Tiegen) dumped Mulligan because he’s a dumbass who makes Peter Griffin look like Rick Sanchez.
Also, TOD-209, the brain-in-a-jar-in-a-battle-mech, is missing and presumed dead. Mitch McConnellalike LaMarr (Carvey) is still vice president of Earth, puppeting dipshit Mulligan around. Dr.
Braun (Fey) is still a put-upon scientist and single mother of two.
