We enjoyed watching both seasons. The cast is sublime, and it's a really good production.
I enjoyed the different storyline in the first season, especially how the "killing" part wasn't necessarily malicious. That was heartbreakingly unexpected (btw the 80s storyline was my favourite, Lucy Liu was brilliant).
I didn't mind that they switched to a different format for season 2, it served that story better to be told in its entirety. I found the characters in season 2 more engaging, more complex, especially the wealthy family (the Castillos). The cast was once again exceptional, shout out to Nick Frost, a delight as always, and to Lana Parrilla for a sometimes hilarious, sometimes truly touching portrayal of what could have easily been a caricature of a character. That season had a lot of twists and turns and I ended up cheering on for those I'd expect to dismiss in the early episodes, (I mean, feeling sorry for Rita and Scooter, who would have thought?!)
Having said that, the ending for the second season was disappointing in how it gave the show's most ruthless killer their "happy ending". For a season that was attempting to communicate some sort of a moral lesson the ending rang completely out of tune.
