After a stellar season one expectations for the second season were obviously high.
Now, don't get me wrong: the Tennant/Sheen couple is still a major factor and the setting and the story are quite interesting, but at the end of the day this season is just a linear story with predictable twists and no surprises.
We were treated with a first season where you could expect anything, memorable one-liners, sillines far beyond the 11-mark on the Python scale, but most importantly : all round originality.
Season two is a mix of romance, angels' and demons' dull politicking and a bit of humour - which in my opinion doesn't even hit the martk all the time.
After a while it gets a bit boring, still kind ok but simply doesn't hook you and doesn't make you erupt in laughter every other scene, so that's definitely a huge jump down the scale after the effervescent season one.
My rating is hence full marks to season one and just above average for season two.
