The fact I only today finished the second season, months after it ended, might already give you an indication on how I feel about the second one...
Plot (from Rotten Tomatoes)
Season 2 of the drama series deals with the aftermath of the massacre of the Delos board members that closed the previous season. As different timelines overlap, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) puts together an army of hosts and hunts the survivors, planning to take over the real world; meanwhile, Charlotte (Tessa Thompson) tries to understand what happened and regain control of the park. Others embark on different but related quests: Maeve (Thandie Newton) goes looking for her daughter, helped by Hector (Rodrigo Santoro) and Lee (Simon Quarterman); Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) tries to find a solution to the situation without revealing his identity; from beyond the grave, Ford (Anthony Hopkins) ropes William (Ed Harris) into a new game and sends him on a search for the Door, without revealing what it really is.
* first and foremost, the music once again. Especially the version of Paint it Black in episode 5 was drop dead fantastic
* The attention to detail in the surroundings and everything, and the return of Sir Anthony Hopkins in episode 7.
What I didn`t like about it
* Unfortunatly, a lot. Season 1 concluded with a jawdropping twist, as it was a timehopping series all along and we where misled in believing everything happened at the same time, instead of largely in the past. This makes it feel this season that we have seen it all before though, like how the Delores / Bernard voyage concludes.
* Episode 7 had all the potential to become the best over all seasons... and then plot armour screwed it all up. To many last moment saved by shooting, greatly killing of the impact instead of a main character for example.
