Not Recommended

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

I watched and loved s1, and though I can't quite remember what about s1 did it for me, I can say with confidence that s2 lacks any and all of whatever made its predecessor good. I feel like s2 jumps around a lot, and the story/events are hard to follow. Chekov's Gun is a great writing tool, and s2 doesn't use it at all; drop a couple hints that something is gonna happen before it happens, otherwise it feels completely out of left field. Overall, s2 feels cheap and unnecessary, and I wish s1 had been the end if this is what a continuation looks like.
