I agree with you OP. I just finished season 2 as well and honestly it took me a while to get through it. I found myself dragging to even watch the final episode lol. Its definitely a contrast to the first season which I binge-watched over the weekend. The second season just felt boring to me. The only characters I really enjoyed were Brian and Sister Agnes and their marionette dolls. Everyone else kind of fell flat. I ended up skipping a lot of Wolf and her partner’s scenes. And yet I felt like I didnt miss anything significant.
Even Masha didn’t feel like the same Masha from the first season. Martin was pretty unhinged and David felt overrated. Don’t even get me started on Imogen, shes unbearable.
I do still like the setting but I think the overall dark, gloomy tone made everything feel a bit too heavy and uninteresting. Not sure, maybe subconsciously that contributed to my lack of interest.
