It Really Is This Simple: Season 1 Great Season 2 Nada
6 December 2022
Season 1 actually lived up to the awards hype. Engaging engrossing often moving, though 99% of the time in an uncomfortable disturbing way. But good. Very good. Fantastic cast. Unique story that kept you guessing the whole time. Excellent writing and direction.

6 episodes into Season 2, as in its over, and you're still waiting for the story to begin or for something anything to happen the least bit interesting. Heck, even a story or plot line would be cool. But no dice. There's just nothing there.

So as to rate it, season 1 got an 8 out of me. That's HIGH in my book. Very high when you consider the last 50-100 years of TV and movie history IF you're familiar with all the greats. Sadly had to cut the rating for the show itself down by half because season 2 just isn't anything. It deserves a 2-3 at best for having some decent cast members. But they're made useless and limp by lack of story.

He should have kept it at one season if this was going to be the conclusion. Actually makes me a bit sad. Was happy for Mike. But season 2 is SO no bueno.
