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.
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.
