The real problem with season 2 is that it is just not enjoyable to watch. There are really really interesting ideas- learing about the union, the shades of grey of the Polity- but watching Chase brood is a drag. It feels as if the move to hbomax freed up the creatives to get much darker (and add sex scenes which are weird but sure, whatever) The first season was a lot of fun to watch and I was thinking about how it is one of my favorite animated cartoons ever, the story was that immediate and tight. Season 2 is a drag. Its a shame because I dont need a repeat of season 1, I love when shows evolve and change. But this is no longer the show I am interested in seeing. I would have given season 1 a 9 star rating. Season 2 gets a 5.
