I think The Watch made some fair points on their season recap. 
 

- It’s probably a better show without the Mercedes Benz pitchman narration telling us everything. Show the audience, don’t narrate.

- Empathy for wealthy people. Are supposed to feel sorry for Coop, Mel, and Sam because their lives are empty?

- Hated Sam’s narration. 100% agree.

- Didn’t like the show shifting from Don Draper cat burglar to Presumed Innocent. 
 

Question for the thread, has an Apple show improved from Season 1 to 2? I’m racking my brain thinking of an example. Maybe Silo?

I loved it when the trunk just popped open randomly for a laugh.

I think Foundation S2 was as good as S1.  Maybe better.

About half way through.  I think it is enjoyable.  The acting is pretty good.  The premise is good but the writing is just average.

Late to the show but enjoyed the episodes I caught over the last week. There's def some suspension of disbelief but overall its better than 90% of what's on the streaming services.

One problem with many streaming dramas is that the beginning premise was well thought out, perhaps for years by the creator. Then they and the other writers have to pump out 9-12 episodes and set up a season 2. There's just a natural quality decline.

I do find the Mel character to be insufferable.

The ending. 
 

Spoiler

Continues to confound me. He skips the meeting with the Swiss to support his sister, so he likely can’t return to his former job. He’ll probably have to start his own shop, so what was the point of struggling to get his job back? Does have a no compete? Is his former company just going to let him walk? The execution worked. It’s nice scene with the family at a concert, but plot wise it’s problematic.
