I was surprised to see people saying they preferred the second season. I thought the first series was good. I liked the abstract style, it was something different compared to what's out there at the moment. Season 2 however, I just found a bit dull and boring; you can predict the plot for the entire season in the first 10 minutes of the first episode. I just didn't find it anywhere near as gripping as the first season. The distinctive charm this show had in the first season was lost in season 2, for me.
