Bad, really bad... The last episode of the first season was already, clearly, the weakest one of an overall satisfying and very original series.
The second season started on very different bases, with disjointed plot threads, different groups of actors, spread out in many different areas of the world (as opposed to the village of Pedraza where virtually the entire first season was taking place). Moreover, the addition of Paul Giamatti to the cast was a disaster : normally a decent actor, in 30 coins he is just awful, and I'm not sure what part of this wreck is his responsibility, or just the terrible writing... To go back to the episode itself, the bounds of ridicule are completely ignored : the scenario, the dialogue, the cinematography, the acting, the relations between characters... everything is just a joke without grace, fantasy or fun.
