    Meh.

    I'm ambivalent about this show's return. Not as ambivalent as about "Yellowjackets" (that show I'm very likely to not even watch season #3).
    But pretty damn ambivalent - what little the show gets right is very
    much overwhelmed by *everything* the show gets wrong (horribly so in at
    least one case). And maybe the best character from season #2 won't even
    make it to season #3... Calling this "fanfic" may actually be too kind.

    But, I'll probably be back to watch, as season #2 was... somewhat of an improvement over season #1, and they might actually get to some
    interesting parts in season #3.

    [sigh...]
