Season 1 was actually pretty good. Could've been shorter by at least one episode. Elizabeth Moss is quite good in it. The ending was a little bit strange. The series seemed unreal at times. Too many eccentric people floating around in the New Zealand bubble. The reveal at the end was kind of predictable. I guessed right by the third episode, but I couldn't figure out how it all came together. As good as most whodunit stories, but not nearly as good as the first season of Broadchurch, if you need something to compare it to. Mostly kept alive by the actors and the scenery. 6.6/10
Season 2 is definitely a step down. Maybe even a couple of steps. Mostly because of the insane over the top characters, especially Alexander *Puss*. As in season one, the male characters are flawed, weak, evil etc. as if Ms. Campion is trying to show her repulsion with the opposite sex. The only thing I really liked about the 2nd season was the interaction between Moss' character and the daughter she'd given up for adoption years ago played by Alice Englert (Campion's daughter in real life). 5.4/10
All in all, a mostly average series with slightly better than average performances by the actors. 6.0/10
