Season 1 is actually good. Probably rate it 7.5-8. Season 2 on the other hand.. what happened?

How on earth did they manage to take a pre existing violent, dark and gritty fantasy story about a monster hunter, and turn it into a boring soap opera?

This is just terrible! Awkward acting. Cringey dialogue. Uninteresting characters. Plot holes. Overacting.

Reminded me of Xena warrior princess but with embarrassing Game of Thrones wannabe politics shoehorned in every other scene. Seriously. What happened to the writers!?
