Disagree, I saw them all, and I don't know WTF is going on.

They have introduced way too many new actors / characters / storylines.

I found season 1 fascinating but exhausting. I'm not sure I'll watch season 2.

It is or was confusing at first but I realized what was going on. The biggest issue for me was being unsure of which side we were seeing, but I got that figured out ok. There are enough differences in missions and people to sort it out. Such as Emily from the "other side" going after the woman and others who were running that unauthorized school to train children to take over their counterparts identities. Emily is also trying to help out the milder mannered Howard who was trapped on her side when the doors were closed between sides.

All you have to do is to put down your phone and actually pay attention.

Wow, tonight's episode (4) was a snoozefest.

It's sometimes confusing as hell and my wife got tired of me complaining about it, but I actually managed to figure out what I needed to know and keep up. It takes paying attention and thinking, but it's so well-written and acted, it's worth it. I wish it had gone on to a third season.
