Well everyone's certainly entitled to their opinions, and you're clearly not alone. I see where you're coming from better now, even if it just doesn't make me feel the same way.
Re: goal post shifting - my point wasn't that my experience rewatching was what informed my decision, I wasn't trying to imply that at all. It was simply that it was all fresh in my mind is all I meant. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
No that's all good, I appreciate you hearing me out anyway. To be clear, I didn't hate Season 2, I just think the most interesting talking point about it is the shift in direction it has taken so that's why my overall takeaway from this season seems more negative. The mystery box genre is popular for a reason, so I don't think anyone who loves Season 2 is objectively wrong or anything. It's not my favourite genre, though, and I feel like I have seen a lot of this before whereas Season 1 is always going to stand out to me as something quite unique in television.
