So far it sucks big time. I recorded yesterday’s but have yet to watch it. Maybe it will get better.
Season 1 was one of the best TV shows ever, right up there with Breaking Bad.
Season 2 is a mess. Too many characters. Too convoluted a plot. You need a spreadsheet to keep track.
lololol... yeah... it does...
It definitely is not as good as the first year. The current episodes are hard to follow sometimes and it seems everyone has “issues”. I’ll continue to follow it until it either gets better or it bores me.

Not nearly as good as S1. Sophomore slump.
Too many main characters packed into the same season length.
Vince’s performance is uneven. The scenes with his wife fall flat. Why are we supposed to care about him?
I think they rushed it out before it was ready.
On another note, I'm watching the first episode of the second season of "The Strain", and am thoroughly enjoying it. I usually fast forward during the commercials, but something caught my eye. I rewound it and discovered an announcement for a new FX series coming this fall. It's called "The Bastard Executioner", and takes place during the reign of King Edward III. Right up my alley.
Too much foundation. Obviously not as good as last one.
I am really enjoying it. I didn’t care for Mcconaughey or Harrelson last year but I was forced to watch a few episodes and I was blown away by both of those guys and the series
It doesn’t totally suck in my opinion; I still find it watchable. It is trying too hard to be L.A. film noir, so much so that it has become parody, especially Vaughn’s scenes. He doesn’t speak like a human being. And can that bar please get a cover band one night instead of that mopey folk singer! At least bring back the Conway Twitty impersonator in a non-dream sequence.
I haven’t yet stated watching it as I like to do it over a few nights once the Season is done. But I have some friends that who loved it last Season say it is terrible. One even stopped watching.
So. That is not at all my opinion but well ... there it is.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
Season Two is unlike Season One, but we knew going in that would be the case. Still, it’s hard to let go of the expectations raised by a Season One that was so successful on so many levels.
Season Two must tell an entirely different kind of story and it has to tell it in a different way. Season Two is far more straightforward without the confusing and awkward flashbacks that made Season One a bit difficult to follow. Season 2 requires a far more linear storytelling technique.
For those who don’t like it, to each his own. I am enjoying it immensely on its own merits.
As a bit of frosting on the cake, the New Season of Ray Donovan started this weekend, and it is also looking very good with Ian McShane joining the cast.

Mikey, I’m with you. I forced myself to watch the first episode. I thought I had started watching in the middle of the story, I was so lost.
The writing is terrible. The actors, on the whole, seem to have forgotten that unless dialog is spoken clearly, the audience loses the words, thereby losing the story. Maybe they don’t care.
The ending of the third episode was grizzly and awful. I don’t think I’ll watch any more. Am so glad to know I’m not the only one with these reactions.
