Few episodes in of season 2 and I'm getting pretty annoyed wtih this show.
Just like LOST, mysteries are piling up, but not one single resolution, hint of an answer and explanation or even a move in forward direction is presented. For Season 2, they just expanded all that by dumping much more people in it.
While I can excuse first season slow burn and lack of any satisfying anwers - and I mean lack of ANY - the stuff they pulled in the last episode with various cliffhangers and possible revelations, just fell apart in episode one of this season.
Almost anything that is happening is not important for the main plot. Character arcs are mostly empty, uninteresting. Those same characters act like most irrational, uninterested and dumbest people alive.
Everything is tropey, boring and tempo of each episode is criminal. Just when you think something is going to happen, to propel story and plot forward - it ends. Then in the next episode it turns out it's nothing of importance and it just goes like that in circles. It's all filler.
Even damn intro is lasting forever, eating time.
Some shows have a overall arc that is just a backdrop for all the happenings in the show. Like Leftovers, and it works. Here however, there is really only one plot point of interest and everything else is unimportant filler and fluff. Yet they insist on that instead dealing with the main plot. Even things concerning the main plot are fed us via teaspoon in the worst, unsatisfactory way possible. Even then, time between those is pretty damn long time.
I don't know if I'm going to finish season 2, but it's getting pretty frustrating. Which is a shame, because main plot is interesting, but I'm suspecting that except that main concept, they have no sensible or satisfying resolution and are just going to string us around until either show gets cancelled or we get some dumb, slapped on ending, just for the sake of ending it.
For the time being, I can't recommend.
