I'm wondering what other viewers, especially those who were big fans of season one (like me), think of Season 2. I'm not loving it. I don't spoil but wish I could say more specifically what is troubling me this season. Carefully I will say that I think the show has gotten unnecessarily complicated (visions, WWI eugenics man, Rittenhouse/HER? et al.) and is focusing far too much on the less interesting aspects of the show.

The best parts have always been the team transporting back in time to various eras; Lincoln's assassination, the first serial killer in the U.S. (known serial killer that is), Las Vegas of the 1950s, and the Citizen Kane story in Hollywood with Hedy Lamarr. I did like much of the Wendell Scott, racecar episode.

I don't care for the term "sophomore slump" but I have a strong sense of this show's writing staff making up as they go along. I don't they really knew last year who Rittenhouse would be!
