Why does the internet hate S2 so much? This is the kind of thing that makes me really uneasy - there is a crowd mania that ripples through the internet periodically that seems to have no real cause. Similar to the hatred of the Lion-killing dentist (I am no hunter, and the dentist does seem like a dick - but how did the entire internet decide to hate that one guy more than almost anything else going on in the world that week?).
I watched the finale tonight, and, without giving any spoilers, I thought the season was pretty good. Maybe not as atmospherically mesmerizing as S1, and I guess I could see a reaction of "I didn't like it as much as last year". But so many people seem to enjoy ripping it. I have purposely not read anything until tonight (I had to catch up on most of the season over the last two weeks) but now I see people are calling it "overwrought" and "confusing" and "dark". Well, yes, but S1 was all of those and more. At least this year there was a plot to follow and that seemed to matter; In S1 the plot seemed irrelevant, as the point of the show was character study and atmosphere. I hope they continue with this - I have not watched that horror show on AMC (?) with Jessica Lange because that is not my favorite genre, but in general I approve of the idea of a series that tells different stories each season within the same genre. I would like to see the same cast of TD in different roles each season. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
