Let's just say that season 2 probably could, and should, have been condensed into a couple of episodes.

I chucked the towel in around episode 6. Haven't been back near it. It's just a chore to watch.

Thanks. The novelty has worn off for me. After watching dance sequence in episode 1. Just lost interest.

Finished it. Second series was a joy.

People just want their art to be easy, fuck that.

The sets where incredible and I am sure many directors would cut their arm off to be allowed to present some of the scenes in this series.

As for the story, when it hits the end the reason for the strangeness of some of the story lines become apparent, and the impact is much stronger.

The whole thing questions mental health and society brilliantly. Also what power can do to the wielder and the people without. The fear on both sides. Rarely has it been more important.

Go back and watch it, binge it, whatever. Give it time and I promise it has rewards for you.

Err, no, but I do expect it to be entertaining at least.

The intro to that season finale was incredible.

Keir Starmer will tank hard. Alan X says I'm a bore, but at least I don't mod forums. That's just sad.

Perfectly happy with that of it lives up to the first two.

More would be nice, but so hard to keep the quality up.

A bit late to this but finally got round to binge watching the second series over a couple of days last week. I agree it dragged a little early on but it definitely was worth sticking with to follow David's arc to the end, moreso if you don't know the comics (like me). The style over substance thing never bothered me, for one, I think there was less of it in the second series (or maybe the novelty slightly wore off) but it's still so completely different to a lot of the other stuff available now that I still find it refreshing enough to stick with. And there was enough interesting new stuff in Amahl Farouk, Jon Hamm and Cary and Kerry's relationship to keep me watching. Though I do agree some of it was weird for the sake of being weird and that would have put some people off.
We have to change from doubter to believer. Now.

Finale was one of the best episodes of TV I've ever watched & a lesson in how you wrap up a story.

Once you watch it all everything makes sense,amazing story telling.

Spoiler
I love how Charles Xavier sorted it out over a cold one,Mrs X is stunning  :P
