Let me start by admitting that I actually liked season one. It had an actual story that was centered around a detective, some murders and a love story.
Season two is quite different. There is no real story to speak of. Events follow linearly on each other without much of an overarching sense of narrative - it's really boring.
On top of the lack of narrative the political setup is really simplistic. There are some fascists with german-like outfits, communists speaking with a slavic accent and then there is a fairytale version of the british empire including some racism, a parliament and a replica of victorian-era London. Needless to say, the latter are the good guys - by virtue of comparison.
