? Everyone’s a loser. The second season of Netflix’s Tires is here — and this time, it’s double the trouble, double the comedy, and double the profanities. Following the success of its first season, the Netflix sitcom is back with 12 episodes perfect for fans of The Office and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Here’s a refresher: Will (Steve Gerben) is still running the show at his father’s Valley Forge Automotive Center. In an attempt to bring the center back to life to prove to his father that he is indeed worthy of his respect (and love), Will has to put up with his cousin Shane’s (Shane Gillis) shenanigans — an employee as equally devoted to his job as he is to making Will’s life hell.

Season two hits the ground running. After Will’s plan in season one to sell tires at cost succeeds, the anxious manager attempts to expand by securing a bank loan — yet little did he know, his father had other plans. Where’s Shane in all of this, you may ask? Well, he’s still bullying Will, throwing false accusations in his direction, and watching him fail to refute them. In other words, an average cousin relationship. Amidst all the action, Shane’s father, Phil (Thomas Haden Church), decides to show up, attempting to reconnect with his son. What ensues is a series of events that will likely change Valley Forge for good.

Crude comedy. Here’s your warning folks, if you’re not comfortable with profanity, you might want to sit this one out. Tires does not hold back, and its characters certainly don’t either. The show’s jokes are explicit and as far from being politically correct as possible. They’re the kind of jokes that got Shane Gillis — who’s also the show’s creator — kicked out of SNL. Feminist representation in Tires is still weak, but it’s an improvement from the first season. Tires portrays everyone as a loser — but shows just how differently losers can thrive in an environment like Valley Forge.

The second season tops the first. The plot is airtight and there’s a greater focus on the drama of it all. Guest stars like Jon Lovitz and Vince Vaughn are a welcome surprise to the cast — which also includes a few fresh faces. Our verdict? Well, you’ll either love it, or hate it.
