Well I can see, season 2 is divisive. Maybe the reason is what season 1 left for us, on a high note and season 2 starts with yet another back story of gaitonde and his downfall as a gangster. For me that was a great way to start the show beacuase it gives us more context to the actions taken by gaitonde in season 1. Same is with the other characters and some new ones. Season 2 focuses on how religion is used as a tool for distruction. It questions, what is morel or immoral, what's good or bad to do in a civilization. All the missing links, characters, side plots comes full circle in this season. The finale is not something you would like in the first watch, but as you go back and listent to the characters carefully, it fits very well. So please acknowledge the writers who tried their best to connect both the seasons so well. This might be light on action but the storyline, the dialogues and such a great cast together sharing the screen is what we rarely get nowadays.
