Season one we have no idea what’s going on but the beginning of season two we know too much for there to be much mystery. Yeah we don’t know Helly’s motives and what they’re working on but neither of those are as interesting as the first season’s total confusion.
Examples:
Random farm scene
Knowing helly knows
I was worried it was going to be essentially reset to be more of S1. I glad that after what I was worried was a fairly safe eps. 1 and 2 to reset the status quo that it hasn’t been scared to break the status quo since then.
Excited to see where it goes.
What are you liking so far
Apart from it not returning to a status quo… Seeing how Lumon is screwing over the upper tiers as much as the bottom.
It remains well made and has yet to descend into a pastiche of itself, and in fact has a plot that is slowly moving forwards.
Though I reserve final judgement until the series is done.
