Had I reviewed this after season one, it wold be a 10. Unfortunately, season two was a bit of letdown, and I had to lower my rating to 8. It seems the writers got lazy with too many things. Instead of inspiring explanations of why things happen (as in season one), what we get is "it happened because the plot called for it)... so disappointing. Also, gone are the grit, sensuality, and utter rawness of season one.

Not a great effort, but worth watching. Desperately hoping that season three gets back to the greatness of season one.

Update 8/9/23: Through the first five episodes, it looked like it might have recaptured it's former glory. Then game the truly horrific episode 6, the boring episode 7, and the disappointing episode 8. Once again lowering my rating.
