Hot on the heels of Hot White Heist’s critically acclaimed first season, Judy Fink and his team of amateur heist experts are back–and they’re in bigger trouble than ever.

Two years after successfully melting down the top secret sperm bank under the Space Needle, the CLITO collective (Community of Lesbians Inclusive To Others) is thriving on their newly acquired private island, Lesbos 2. All is well in their queer utopia.

Or is it?

Investigative reporter Sarah Keebler (Sarah Steele) is piecing together the crew's previous heist for her bombshell true-crime podcast–and getting dangerously close to the truth. CLITO dispatches their finest agents to stop Keebler's investigation at any cost, but do they have what it takes to finish the job? And why is she so invested in this story, anyway? And what does all this have to do with a notoriously bloodthirsty, litigious right-wing gay billionaire?

Judy and his friends are about to learn the hard way that in the high-stakes world of scandalous crime, what goes around comes around.

Starring Bowen Yang and an all-star queer cast including Shannon Woodward, Jane Lynch, Cynthia Nixon, Ian McKellen, Jesse James Keitel, and Raúl Esparza, Hot White Heist 2 has twice the action, two times the drama, and double the double entendres.

Aside for my strong disliking for Bowen Yang, I loved the cast and the story. I do wish there was more Eddie though.

[Kaleb Phillips · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not nearly as good as the first, but still has some great moments.

The ending unfortunately felt forced and lazy, like they were just trying to write a character off when they had every reason under the sun to stay in the story.

[Jake · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as season 1, but still pretty funny. Especially Bowen's performance.

Again, my post about Hot White Heist is the same for Hot White Heist 2. Silly, clever, pokes fun at itself, meta, play on words, lots of sexual innuendo, etc. Just lots of fun. This is an Audible Original. Jude Fink comes back to help his Aunt Kate and her militant lesbian cult to save Lesbos 2 from an ultra-right, LGBTQ-hating billionaire who is out to get them.

I liked 1 better but this was still funny. For me it was just a little less. That said I will listen to a three if they/them can come up with one. Another reviewer pointed out that they waited to listen until Pride month. I am not that organized I just had a lot of driving and I love Audible originals to pass the time. Very clever writing and the performances are great.

I was saving this audible original series for this month in honor of pride month. This series was ridiculously hilarious and it was a nice reprieve from some of the heavier stuff I have been reading. Bowen Yang holds a special place in my heart and the rest of the cast was fantastic!!!

I listened to this on Audible. It was amusing at times but had it been longer I likely would have given up on it. The cast is amazing and performance wise was 5 stars but the storyline was 3 stars. I didn't listen to the first one but didn't feel like I couldn't keep up.

Lots of big names, but not as equally big impact. This season plot poke fun at gay billionaire and podcasters. The jokes were either not as plentiful or most of them flew over my head, as I did not find them to be very funny.

MJ Rodriguez is really missing here. Not as good as the first, but I appreciate the discussion about queerness and community. Even though, with the rise of fashism and the way gay billionaires are deliberately funding it as well, they cannot be excused.

Sequel to Hot White Heist 2 is as fun to listen to as Hot White Heist. Great characters, so many recognizable voices.

[Curt Didrickson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it

[Melinda · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved all of the guest stars! Once again, very flimsy storyline, but a fun listen.

[Vojtěch Tatra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cartoon arcade. 8 year old stuff. Not sure why I listened to this, it's not bad, just kind of blunt. Maybe because I listened to the first part. Well performed at least.

[Joyce · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another thought-provoking, entertaining audiobook.

I so don’t follow much of the news. I had to look up Peter Thiel to see who I wasn’t supposed to confuse with this book’s Peter Tio (sp?).

[Deb · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as good as the first one but still a fun ride.
