Season 2 is worse than season 1. The only positive thing to mention is that they throw more money at it so that some scenes on the pitch were a bit more believable (players and crowds still are not credible) but overall it's worse. Season 1 was at least a promise that this show could evolve, but it became clear that this is neither a well-told drama, nor a credible show about sports (let alone soccer in particular), nor is it exceptionally funny - it even lost his charming, heart-warming Kitsch appeal that made it enjoyable but shallow in the first place! None of the issues I had with the first season were eliminated. Did the producers watch the first season? We need more depth and more complex jokes (thus better writers) and we wanted to see more of the most enjoyable comedy talents (the women and the cute greyhound) - instead they wasted time on rather boring characters. Some episode in the middle of the season were a waste of time. Episode 4 was an insult, episode 3 maybe the best (the women and girls save the day again!) I watched this second season cause the previous season was promising despite it's overall mediocrity - I'm not so sure I'll watch the next season. I said it before, I say it again: that's the innocuous show Apple+ deserves.
