Ryan and Tatum O'Neal's Finale: Will They Need a Season 2?

After a summer full of drama and tears, the Oprah Winfrey Network docu-series, "The O'Neals: Ryan and Tatum," came to a conclusion on Sunday night. But actor Ryan O'Neal and his daughter Tatum O'Neal still have plenty of work to do when it comes to repairing their fractured relationship. Will they need a Season 2?

The OWN series, which followed the daddy-daughter duo as they tried to reconnect after a 25 year estrangement, was difficult to watch at times.

Tatum had issues with her father's relationship with Farrah Fawcett, with Ryan admitting that when he met the iconic beauty, Tatum felt as though he deserted her. (Ryan: "She got left at the curb. But I always said, 'Just stay at the curb. I'll be back!' ")

And Ryan's taunting of his daughter on the series ("How's your sobriety going? Because I've got a bottle of tequila upstairs with your name on it!") was indeed wince-worthy.

But two can play the blame game, and Tatum had plenty of di! gs for h er papa as well, accusing him of beating her and doing drugs. Without going into detail, she accused her father of "brutalizing" her.

And there was also the issue of a little book that Tatum wrote-- her 2004 memoir, "A Paper Life." Ryan didn't like how Tatum aired the family's dirty laundry in the book, so the publication of her follow-up book, "Found," had him a little on edge. Of Tatum's books, Ryan said to his therapist in the finale, "She writes with a knife...she draws blood."

Tatum apologized for hurting her dad with her first book and they proceeded to go on a memory-inducing field trip to Tatum's childhood home on Canton Place.

But while the season finale of "The O'Neals" ended with a wrap-up therapy session, a hug and a promise, there were still plenty of loose ends dangling.

In that finale therapy session, the duo agreed to disagree, but will the pasts hurts continue to come back to haunt this once-broken family?

The family patriarch seems to think so.

After living through this drama and seeing the premiere episodes of "The O'Neals," Ryan O'Neal told XFinity TV, "Tatum and I have our problems. We have our disagreements. She sees our life one way. I don't see it that way at all....Yeah, we got into it and we came out the other side sort of. Maybe we need a second season."

Cue up Season 2!
