“Birthdays” & “Backyards” (2022) The World According to Jeff S2E9,10
Bekkah:
Oh my gosh we have watched so much Jeff this weekend!! It was smart to end on this delight of a show, which we watched the last two episodes of. Both of these episodes were lovely and let Jeff just be himself (which is all I want). I also want Jeff to come to my birthday party. I want Jeff to dig in my compost with me. I want to fire walk with Jeff. I want to eat produce from my backyard with Jeff. All of these things. I hope this show comes back because it’s so charming and I want to learn about more things with Jeff! C’mon Disney!! Give the people (me and Danya) what we want!
Danya:
So basically as soon as this episode came on, I started googling for season 3, because DAMN this show is charming. We get to see Jeff in a moment of vulnerability about a difficult birthday, then he eats cakes and celebrates a recently unhoused boy named Duane, THEN he walks across hot coals to have more experiences. The backyards episode is also just straight delight shot into your veins, by way of tiny children looking for slugs and growing their own tomatoes. Jeff, you are too pure for this world. Please don’t ever do something where you will get canceled. My poor heart cannot take it.
