I'm doing a catch up on season1 slowly right now before I jump into season 2.
I still think this is perhaps Orlando's best acting and the first time he's really felt like a lead character in a story. He always felt a little like he was missing some element in his acting in films like the PotC latter films and Kingdom of Heaven. Good acting but just not a "lead" actor/character.

And it’s no secret I’m sniffy about accents.
But I’m giving it another go, from the top. See what shakes out.
Technically not Irish as not from Ireland But yeah I can see how that might bother - I didn't really notice.

I caught up around the time S2 started and I really enjoyed S1. Lots of twists, turns, and a great atmosphere. 9/10 show IMO.
S2, so far, has become far more formulaic and dull. Maybe it'll pull out but I almost feel like this really would have been infinitely better as a 1 season show or a show with seasons that didn't lead into each other like this.
I wonder if its just an impressions thing because Season 2 is the "settling" season whilst 1 was establishing everything and thus it was all new and exciting and such. A bit like who the middle book in a trilogy can be a little slower than the first and the last.
Or if perhaps the pandemic made them shift a few ideas and concepts around so season 2 is less wild than they'd envisioned and it might just need a non-pandemic period for season 3 development (which I really hope it gets)
EDIT - sadness - apparently they added 2 more episodes to season 2 and are not renewing it for a 3rd season (apparently this was released around november last year)

I noticed this season was longer. I’m alright with that for a series finale though. Things are markedly bette for a good happy ending, but they didn’t magically solve racism.
