Style over substance.
These were like Wes Anderson films without any plot. Just cool style and bad stories.
I didn't like the look of automated customer service, but, maybe just me.
Ice looked cool. Stylish. Boring.
Pop squad looked great. Interesting. Predictable. Generally OK.
Snow in the Desert looked great. Interesting.
The Tall Grass was very stylish, loved the shading. Story was kinda blah.
I think that All Through the House was good.
Life Hutch looked great. Kinda boring.
The Drowned Giant looked great. Stylish. Realism was impressive. Kinda boring.
One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is that Season 2, while shorter overall, and way fewer projects, had longer average run times. Some of the episodes in season 1 were well below 10 minutes. Season 2, only one that was shorter than 10 minutes.
But, none of these compare to season 1, which was full of hits. I would take almost any episode of season 1 over any episode of season 2, save for Snow in the Desert, which is in the bottom 25% of season 1.
So, disappointing, overall, but beautiful.
I am hoping for a turnaround for season 3. I am really hoping for a season 3.
It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.
