So, i liked the first season and was quite looking forward to the second.
Sadly it has not lived up to the first season, and there is quite a convoluted mess going on. I feel that they have tried to cram two seasons into one or something. However, this is not to say that i found it unwatchable or a chore to get through. It's just that there are many moving parts in this tale, and if i let my mind wander for a few minutes then i was scratching my head as to what exactly was going on.
My biggest gripe by far with the second series is how absolutely annoying i found Cara D's character, Vignette. All she has done throughout the whole season is wander from person to person or group of persons, declaring undying loyalty to them, to their cause, to their undying love ( which she inevitably kicks to the curb sooner rather than later ). So we see Vignette flitting about, figuratively and literally over and over. At some point her characters self centred antics just bored me, and ruined the show for me. Maybe this is what the shows creators were trying to portray and if so then i guess they succeeded.
I gave a review of 8 for season one really, because i feel a quite believable and original world and story that left me wanting more.
If i could score season 2 also i would give it a 6. It wasn't so bad, if a little muddling and regardless of the writing and acting i really rate the production quality. Yes, this is worth a look.
