Season 2 is much stronger than season 1 but my thoughts on the series haven't changed. I wish the main characters were likeable. I wish I cared about them as much as I cared about the side characters. 

I wish Smythe had leaned into Persephone's violence and rage and not explained it away with a "she didn't mean it!" because it made her character SO much more interesting to me.
