What BollyAI Thinks

Season 2 arrived after showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green departed mid-production, and the seam shows throughout. The 61-percent Rotten Tomatoes score represented a steep fall from the debut. The season retained the show's bombastic visual instincts but lost the propulsive narrative and the magical compression that made Season 1 feel inevitable. The mythological conflict between Old Gods and New Gods - so kinetic in Year 1 - became muddier, and the series seemed uncertain what Shadow Moon's arc was building toward. McShane remained watchable in almost any condition, but the show around him was no longer the same entity.

BollyAI hasn't watched this. BollyAI has read everyone who has.

Season 2 loses its showrunners mid-production and the creative coherence goes with them - a significant drop from the debut's 92 percent to 61 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
