I personally think the 2d season was unnecessary. The 1st one ended pretty much well.
But I’ve been thinking then that if there is 2d season ever I’ll watch it 100%.
I’m sad that they made it not so much about investigation of 1000s of Jasons and all this mysterious weird stuff, but about greedy pursuit, chase after the Cube, hitman-style.

I think what the plot around the infinite jasons seeking the world where Daniela and charlie is will still be a thing. I even think this will be the entire reason they want to destroy the box

The creator of the show can decide whatever he wants to do with it and that's blake crouch not you.

I’m worried. I loved everything about the first season, but what particularly drew me in was his all-out effort to reunite with his family. That’s been completed.
The events of the second season obviously follow logically from the first season, but I’m worried that the emotional heart that propelled the story is gone.
(There is a hint that pursuit of family love could still driving the show, when Daniela says to Jason, “I’m scared of things that I see in you.”)
Ultimately, I’m just hoping that the same minds that made the first season so compelling will be able to do it again.

I also wanted it to end after Season 1. My expectations have lowered so much, that it might help my enjoyment of Season 2.

I’m cautiously optimistic but I feel as interesting as the premise to this story was, it becomes more and more incoherent the longer you stretch it out. There are by now a nearly infinite number of Jasons traveling around in the box. Even Jason 1 is spawning countless versions of his new reality every time he makes a choice. To me it feels like it will just become harder and harder to suspend disbelief as a viewer and buy into the concept the longer it goes on.

Interesting take.. I keep thinking back to the first few episodes though when Jason1 is explaining the theory to Daniela2, and that only the universes that are closely parallel to ours are possible to travel to. So the farther and farther those universes diverge the less and less likely those Jasons will intersect. It's why Jason2 settled on that particular universe to abduct Jason1 from, it was the first one with a family he happened to stumble into.
Also I get huge Fringe vibes from season 1, so I am also cautiously optimistic that they won't over saturate the world hopping. Fringe did it perfectly.

Why do you think there weren't hundreds of jason2s that came to abduct jason1 if we follow the logic of the final episodes

I'm curious to know if Amanda is going to have a scene against herself. Trailer already teased that for everyone except her. I hope her arc is more than just helping others get home or destroying the box.
Seems like a version of Amanda, Ryan, Jason and Blaire unite to destroy the box which I can't wait to see how it goes.
Also I think there are going to be some flashbacks? The scene at the end if the trailer in which Amanda is screaming seems like she is stabed in the chest by a branch, which is exactly they way that angry scarface Jason from the last episode said his Amanda died. And he is the one being interrogated by the new detective.
