A lot of reviews have been written, so I've only a few things to share. I like this show. It's funny. It has many shortcomings, but they don't ruin the show for me.

I have an impression of the show, that reflects how I experienced it, but may not be true in a narrative sense. I get the feeling that this low-ish budget show did everything it could to create a solid debut season that was tightly conceived, written, performed, and produced--and succeeded in that first season. It then feels like they weren't as prepared to continue with a second season.

For me, Season 2 meanders, introduced too many major elements, kept the main characters too far apart for the first several episodes (resulting in a loss of the chemistry built in the first season), and didn't have the same kind of cohesive, tight storytelling from Season 1.

If you're going to have a hiccup, I think this is the way to do it, though.

Understanding what the show is, Season 1 is very good (and I'd give it 8 stars by itself). Season 1 created a world and characters that are enjoyable and worth investing in. Season 2 lacks the story--especially the uncertainty of purpose seen in the first Season--so we rely on our prior investment in the characters we came to enjoy in Season 1. There isn't the same kind of character-crafting in Season 2.

I hope there is a Season 3, and if so, I hope the writers can recapture the quality of story-crafting seen in Season 1. I read today that, in an interview, the creators speaking of Season 3 said they have some ideas. With the tight cycles of TV production, I'm discouraged not to hear something more like "we've got a fresh theme ready for the next installment and some unexpected twists for our characters that fans should love". Just "some ideas" is a little nebulous, but I'll wait and hope for the best. But first things first--Hulu needs to write a check!
