Just a disclaimer I watched the first episode, then my partner watched episodes 2 to 4, and then I jumped back in from episode 5 of season 1 all the way to episode 6 of the show's second season. So I've only missed three episodes of the whole series, will I rewatch them? Probably not. But I think this is a great show and I'm glad I decided to join in with my partner. To say the show greatly expands, especially that first episode of the second season, is a very big understatement. I became quickly interested in all the characters even when I didn't know certain things about them from the episodes I missed. I mean Waller-Bridge really knows how to make a character feel distinct and like a real person even if the universe is definitely more on the cartoonish side. The acting is also really great and there's a ton of facial and physical expression alongside the dialogue, especially from the always wonderful Olivia Colman, and it helps make each characters motivations even stronger. I do wish maybe the ending episode was stretched out a bit, as it is there was a character I felt got a bit of an anticlimactic exit from the story which also kind of affected the outcome of another more important character's arc. I also didn't feel interested in the main character's friend (who I can't say much about), I just can't think of a memorable moment, aside from one, that directly involved her actions. But honestly she isn't in much of the show anyway so it wasn't a big hurdle to jump over. I think this is great, it's worth anyone's time since the series is tightly knitted into small bursts, and it has a phenomenal cast.
