Mixed Feelings
I watch a ton of anime, rate them on here, and almost never write a review. I had to let my frustrations out on this one...

Spoiler Free. It's almost maddening how scrambled this plot is. I'm legit shocked how high people are rating this. Yes, the art, animation, and fighting is amazing. But the story, it's all over the place. Like, how did they mess this up lol. I recommend that anyone who didn't watch the movie (Jujutsu Kaisen 0) to start there after season 1 before even touching this. Even then, prepare to be introduced to characters who you'll have no idea who they are, and then will take over half the season. But wait. They'll toss them aside, introduce more characters, expect you to understand their story and backgrounds, and make you watch unnecessary filler that is meaningless to the story. Some are battles, so it's fine because it's cool to watch. But it really doesn't contribute to the overall story. One thing that season 2 does so horribly is make transitions from one story (or character) to another. Especially in the later episodes, you'll be wishing for more of the mains and less of the randoms.

I didn't read the manga, but is this really what the author had in mind? Maybe they should have slowly introduced them in a different way?

The fighting and action is fantastic, but I left feeling more puzzled about the story then when I started watching. This easily could have been a 9 or 10 for me with better direction and writing.
