The setting is great.

Getting dumped back into I Can't Believe It's Not London for some shit acting for the rest of the filler episodes was rough.

Jarred Harris was in it and I didn't care. I would have wrestled a polar bear for him in The Terror. Or the Expanse or Chernobyl. A radioactive one. Melting.

She read her lines as if from a teleprompter in between nodding off in Only Murders in the Building.

I mean if you are going to use your connections to shoehorn yourself into roles you could put some effort in?

I miss the zeppelin and werewolf fights.

The first two episodes are good, I'm curious where they are bringing all the stuff they've introduced.

But they weren't as strong as season 1, which isn't a surprise but it a shame.

It's an uneven show. But on the balance, I really like it. There is some weak acting that I find distracting. Dialogue could have been written better in places. And the special effects are not as strong as in the more expensive fantasy shows.

But the story of season 1 was fantastic. The characters are generally well fleshed out. The world is fascinating and somewhat unique. The music is wonderful. The visuals of the show (apart from some special effects stuff) really draw you in. The politics of the world feel real. The whole thing is very engaging.

I actually thought Cara Delevigne improved significantly this season. Her acting was the low point of the show for me in season 1. I didn't notice it taking me out of the story nearly as much with these first two episodes of season 2.
