Some reviewers said Season 2 is better than Season 1 so I pushed myself to watch it. It wasn't better. The plot was even more convoluted with a kind of meaningless finale. In S1, virtually the only ones who use their powers are Tarzan (#1), Zorro (#2), and Mannikin Lover (#5). That does improve during S2.

And there's Vanya (#7). Page is probably best known among the cast, having played Ariadne in Inception. Originally presented in that movie as a female nerd who was mentored by its main character, Ariadne ended up being more like Jiminy Cricket whose dialogue was mostly warning DiCaprio ("Watch out for Mal!"). In S1, Page seems as wooden as Affleck in The Accountant: stiff body movements, with almost no expression in face, voice or hands. But the director does let Page smile in every episode of S2.

Vanya and Sissy start a passionate love affair at the end of S2E4, then we see their afterglow in bed the following morning, sharing coffee in S2E5. In contrast, Allison and Ray have been married more than a year but we don't even see a brief kiss until S2E7 and E8. Bizarrely, we don't see a bedroom in the scenes set in their house, let alone the bed they share. If the writer put Ray into the plot for the purpose of addressing 1960s racial injustice, then what was the purpose of putting Sissy into the plot?

Aside from the weak character development, there is very little teamwork where several of the 7 siblings use their powers in a complementary way. Mostly they just squabble. The series Sense8 had more characters (8), but they were less formulaic and they helped each other in every episode.
