The thing I like about this show is how low key it is and how much of a slow burn it can be/how appreciated that it's a bit of a slow burn. I also like how it's a bit of a mind bender thriller without relying heavily on some form of violence and death like many other shows and movies.
I think ep 1 of season 2 is the first time IMO that the show heavily hints that Lumon might be straight up lying to everyone in MDR. In season 1, I think it's blatantly obvious that Lumon misrepresents or omits things to MDR (ie: Isolation, wellness, break room, O&D etc.) and with a heavy emphasis on a sort of company culture that is cult like (which TBH is sorta normal for a company). But IMO season 2 is when it seems much more obvious that Lumon is crossing lines/potentially being unethical. The vibe feels different. Maybe I'm misremembering or it's just a coincidence I noticed, or maybe it's intentional for season 2... but I thought it was noticeable.
On a side note, I still wonder if there are major clues in the intro of both seasons.
