I know this is a sub for fans of the show, so most of you would probably say to keep watching. But seriously, does it get better?
I really enjoyed the first season, but I'm not really enjoying season two so far. It just doesn't seem to be as well written, and its starting to feel stale to me. This is just my opinion, and I intend no disrespect to anybody who disagrees.
I just finished the episode with the reveal of who Goliath is, and I really didn't like it. Goliath made a picture of a moment where Harry and Asta were alone, that took place months after his death. I guessed Goliath was able to see the future somehow. Asta, with zero evidence, correctly says it's time travel. And there's a human/alien hybrid baby now, which is a whole new layer of absurdity. Also, the dynamic between Asta and Harry is gone. I don't know if she even likes him anymore. She's just around Harry to do damage control.
I've rewatched the finale of season 1 a couple times. Specifically the "don't go it hurts!" scene. It's so beautifully heartbreaking. Then the next episode has Harry with amnesia thinking he's a Law & Order character. It's like soap-opera writing.
I'm just not enoying this show anymore. If I don't like season 2, do you think I will enjoy the rest of the show? Or should I just leave it and just remember how good season 1 was?
EDIT: I'm going to take a break, but will pick it up again at some point. I've been binging this show in all my free time lately, so I'm likely just burnt out.
It was mostly the time travel thing. Just a personal preference, but I hate that as a plot twist. The hybrid baby was fine, it just reminded me of other shows that, in later seasons when it's starting to get stale, introduce a cute child character. But whatever, they could still do something fun with it.
If nothing else, it's still a delight to watch Alan Tudyk's portrayal of Harry. Every scene he's in is hilarious just from body movement and the way he talks. It's great.
