Season 1 a 10, season 2 maybe 5

I loved season 1. Everything was done right, all leading up to a spectacular ending. What a ride!

Season 2... What is the point? Just like the characters, I wish they hadn't lied about the murder. It would have saved a lot of time and maybe they could have talked about something more interesting. I just don't care what the outcome is at all - at this point I hope they all go to jail! So many of the characters are just unsympathetic and stuck up, it gets exhausting to watch after awhile.

If you want to see want to see some rich privileged people worry internally about a dumb lie they told to cover up clear self defense, season 2 is for you.

Additionally, for those claiming it isn't clear self defense - I don't even care. I would much prefer a season of them fighting that legal battle or even showing Bonnie in jail and the drama that would happen around all of that. That would be infinitely more interesting than season 2. Right now it feels more like they taped some people's lives between filming of the first and real second season. Just all boring filler with no end goal.

Edit: after watching the season finale, wow. It's as bad as I thought. They leave it as a cliff hanger that they will confess... Literally what I thought the season should have started with. Really, who cares at this point?
