Does it get good again? (Season 1 was great; season 2 was crap. Does it get better again?)
(BTW: There are no spoiler stuff here. Not unless you consider show quality changes to be spoilers.)
I finally committed time to trying the show. After having watched the first season, boy was I glad I did. I'd give that season an 8/10.
Then comes the second season.. where, amid some intermittent enjoyable elements (like some of the scenes with the lady Grail agent playing incognito roles, even those before we know of Grail; or, IIRC, the recruitment trials for Grail might have been amusing), it was very plainly a sludge (forced watching) forward to presumably-- hopefully-- get back to a part of the show that's worth watching. I figured that with a good first season under its belt, the runners of the show must have let some less included writers have a chance to guide a real TV show (resulting in a mish-mash of alternatively colored cow dung; not necessarily because the writers were objectively bad, but because they weren't melding their influences with what was already strong & expected from the show by way of its existing season)... But does whatever it is that went wrong with season 2 get undone in the seasons after?
I finally made it to the end of this bad season (2). There are two more available, meaning the show managed to stay on the air. Are they any better? Is it worth watching more, or did this show really only have one good season (1)?
