According to the ratings I mentioned earlier, season 2 is skewed towards the lower end of the scale–there are a few standout episodes, and a bunch of more average ones. The standouts are mostly towards the end of the season.

Well, I gave up. I got through the first disk of season one through sheer effort of will.
