I liked most of the second season too. The only thing I truly can’t stand is the James and Evelyn storyline. I think it was the reviewer who recently has been covering Twin Peaks at the Onion AV Club who pointed out that their poorly acted, dumbly written story is straight out of a direct-to-video erotic thriller.
I know there’s a lot of hate for the “Ben re-enacts the Civil War” story, but it’s just so random and absurd that I always enjoy it.
