After waiting and anticipating for an entire year, reading the novel, reading the leaked script to sustain our fervour for the story and characters, to say Season2 was a huge disappointment is an understatement.
While I can understand budget limitations for scene downgrades, removing of characters or even remove entire arcs of the novel, I was at least expecting some integrity in the scenes that have been chosen to remain.
Instead we received a horrendous merging of plot points, as if the team wanted to check all their boxes somehow, and succeeding in ruining every single moment instead. We also had inexplicable plot changes that made no sense at all, when they tried to link it back to novel events in their weak attempt to guide the mess back to the novel's path.

In short, almost nothing went right in Season2. Characters failed to display their potential, cop outs galore.
I finished it for closure and will go back to reread the novel to remove this horrid taste the drama left.
