And don’t even get me started on the new angsty mullet kid that drives the trans am and his annoying sister.

David Harbour is pretty good tho.

It’s watchable but I’m finding myself trailing off in quite a few of these S2 episodes and reaching for my phone.
In retrospect season 2 wasn't too bad. It was just such a drop from the crazy-high bar set by the first. Both the second and third seasons felt a bit meandering and off the path, but with the benefit of how the story pays off in an incredible fourth season they feel much more essential.
