Warning: Spoilers
The first season was significantly better than the second season. The first season moved at a faster pace and the story was more intresting. The second season is way way too slow. Also the plot lines that I found the most interesting were always cut short (s02e07 commander Cushing plot line only lasted half an episode), while the boringest plot lines are drawn out forever. Season 2 spent several episodes on Ofglen in the colonies which I found super boring. Also season 2 they just spend way too much time on some scenes were nothing happens (s02e07 they spent an entire scene with Olfred staring at a pen.) Some episodes of season 2 have been good but, then others barely anything happens. During season 2 I found myself doing other things checking my phone,cooking, etc and when I really like a show I'm glued to the screen. Season 2 just isn't as compelling as season 1. My advice to the writers is to spend more time exploring mayday and Nick's work as an eye. Olfred is the main character but, spending time watching her look at picture's of her child and her staring at a pen is just boring as hell.
