Season 2 Better Than 1


Thought season 2 was much better than 1. It has its own problems, but villain was much better and overall a much more entertaining season, although most of the Maria and Shades scenes were cringeworthy. If you didn't like season 1, you may want to check out season 2.

Didn't know it was out already. I've really got to check my Netflix more.

They're not marketing these shows like they used to.

I agree the second season is an improvement over the first but good lord, I had trouble understanding the Jamaican characters with their accents. I needed subtitles for the most part in order to understand what in the world they were talking about. And that other dude (D.W. Griffith a.k.a D-Dub) sounds like he has marbles in his mouth.

Outside of the above, I did enjoy it, especially the one with Luke and Danny.

Still, I think these seasons can be shortened without taking away from the story. Having a few episodes for greater than one hour seems like overkill.

Its funny, as my hearing has gone over the years i watch most things with subtitles and gave gotten used to it so i guess i didnt notice the accents that much.

I completly agree that the season could be shorter as some episodes dragged. I couldnt stand the scenes where Maria and Shades were together. Just awful.

I also thought it was a waste of a character for Claire to leave halfway through

So agree the seasons could be shortened, as well as the episodes, why do we need a 10 minute interlude of some person singing a song in every episode and the music playing over so many seasons just drags it out. The storylines in all these Marvel shows could be completed in half the amount of episodes they have in each season.

The second season overall was much better. Although I did enjoy the first half of Season 1, it all went downhill after (SPOILER FOR SEASON 1) they killed off Cotton Mouth.

Agree I think 10 episodes per season is enough, I feel like there must be some contract with Netflix to have 13 episodes.

Subtitles were needed for the accents.

I liked the music scenes, considering they used actual famous singers it made sense to give them some airtime.

The other option is to remove the accents and have everyone speak with a regular American accent. Appreciate the accents, just had to focus and turn the volume up a bit.
