From Kourtney Kardashian’s Wedding To The Kanye West Drama, Here’s Everything “The Kardashians” Season 2 Didn’t Show Us After Its "Boring" Finale Sparked Serious Backlash
Instead of the Kravis wedding, Kimye drama, and Pete Davidson we got… a peacock farm and Kris Jenner’s hip replacement.

Season 2 of The Kardashians got off to a promising start when it premiered in September with a special episode dedicated to Khloé Kardashian’s surrogacy journey amid her ex Tristan Thompson’s paternity scandal.

Viewers were shocked by the intimate level of insight that they were privy to in the special, which included raw footage from the hospital delivery room as Khloé’s son was born.

However, it is safe to say that the season has been pretty downhill ever since, and week after week disappointed fans have flocked to social media to criticize the show.

In fact, some people even switched off halfway through the Hulu series as they compared it to “watching a press release” after realizing just how much of each episode was dedicated to promoting each of the sisters’ respective brands.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s constant bragging about her work ethic rubbed viewers up the wrong way, and as the season finale grew closer many began to share their concern that nothing had really happened since its strong launch episode.

And this is certainly not due to a lack of potential, with this year providing the Kardashian-Jenner family with plenty of material for several good storylines in their reality show.

After all, filming for Season 2 is thought to have begun in February, which is around the time that Kim’s ex husband, Kanye West, ramped up his public campaign against her and her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson.

Two new babies have also been born into the family this year, and Kourtney Kardashian married Travis Barker in a picturesque Italy ceremony.

But instead of any of that being featured in The Kardashians, a storyline about Kris Jenner getting a hip replacement dragged across three episodes, as did the family preparing to walk the red carpet at this year’s Met Gala.

Not to mention that one episode that saw Khloé and Kris visit a peacock farm.

Fan favorite Scott Disick also barely featured in the season, aside from one brief cameo when Kendall Jenner spoke to him about her new business venture of flipping houses.

And any hint of drama proved to be pretty anticlimactic as viewers were repeatedly teased with cliffhangers for stories that they already knew the outcome to, largely due to the fact that they’d played out very publicly earlier this year.

For example, whether or not the family would win their court battle against Blac Chyna was a huge storyline despite it already being widely known that the jury ruled in their favor all the way back in May.

Kourtney seemingly marrying Travis in a Las Vegas ceremony was also teased, even though she’d confirmed in April that the ceremony had just been for fun and wasn’t legally binding.

Basically, dedicated The Kardashians viewers are feeling a little bit shortchanged by the extreme lack of content this season, and after the finale aired on Thursday many shared their disappointment.

“That’s it?” one person wrote on a Reddit forum. “Like the whole season? No baby names? No Italian wedding?”
