Although I found the first season interesting, I agree with most of the reviewers that it was way too long and drawn out - and very repetitive. They should redo that season and rerelease it to live up to the second season.
The second season was ten times better, much less repetitive, and they were smart enough to keep it to 6 episodes.
I originally rated the first season a 2 because of it's major flaws but the second season was profoundly interesting and insightful, especially in the last few episodes. Therefore, I changed my rating to a 10 because it was that good. The first season wasn't a 10 but the second season made up for it.
Seeing Nancy and others' inside take on what happened really helps us understand how people can get caught up in a cult like atmosphere and why it takes a lot of people to convince the few that something was, and still is, seriously wrong with Raniere.
I don't want to give anything away, but the last episode was heartbreaking. I really hope Nancy is able to get part of her life back at some point and have a real relationship with someone to see what it can be like.
