First, I would like to say that the Christmas episode almost made me not want to see season 2 at all, but I knew I would eventually.
In season 2, as in 1, the first episodes were my least favorite, but in both seasons there was a crescendo that ended in magnificence. For the first time in a show I had this feeling that I would really like to be watching this at a cinema, and that's because I had that feeling of watching something extremely well done and with the budget of a Buchowski film. It's amazing to read that they did each of this episodes with a budget of 9 million dollars when a movie with this sort of production seems like it could easily cost 70 million.
The acting is brilliant. I'm amazed at how Netflix is bringing out such talents to these shows. So many incredible actors and actresses that had never hit the mainstream perform their characters in an outstanding way.
In season 2 the character development and the plot are very well written, specially with scenes that have the most tension, though there are a couple of episodes where you wish they hadn't added unnecessary touches that make you slap your head.
I think the best thing about this show is how the tension is treated, and I hope they will keep doing it right. Now comes the long wait for the next season, but luckily there'll be other great shows to watch while we do so.
