Season 1 left you with questions and not many answers. And this season was spent answering all sorts of questions from season 1

I certainly didn't get that feeling. For every Season 1 question they answered, they raised 3 more in Season two. I found it very unsatisfying for most episodes this season to get to the end of an episode with little to know forward movement in the reveal.

Both seasons really slow down and let you soak in the artistry.

I have no problem with a slow paced show, but its got to move forward. I started getting annoyed with the lack of forward progress and the artistry lost its value and simply was an annoyance. For the second half of the season I found myself on the 10-second-skip-foward button for a good chunk of the episodes.

I never skipped (I don't really skip anything on principle, if something is consistently that bad I just bail entirely), but the thought definitely began nagging me around the same point as you. To me this is a really bad sign for a show that I devoured every single second of in its first season.
