Can you expand without spoiling [ie, is that possible].

I binged S1 recently due to the quarantine and the buzz of the new season.

I fall in the decent to meh bin on S1. It wasn't aggressively bad or insulting, and parts of it were visually interesting, but it seemed a rehash of narratives with the hook being weirder personalities and quirkier stakes. Basically I could see the strings of the story and was thereby predisposed to see the glaring plotholes more readily.

Nothing to actively dislike, just middle-brow pyrotechnics you can see in any superhero franchise. So I'm looking to see if S2 does anything to set itself apart.

Part of my assessment scale right now if also that I have all this free time and have taken stock of a lot of 'highly acclaimed' series that were completely off my radar, so it's binge this immediately or move on to things like The Knick, Hannibal, Penny Dreadful, Boardwalk Empire, Ozark, etc. that I've also never seen first. Or even finishing off things like Ray Donovan or Shameless that I dumped mid-series.
