I binged all of S1 and S2 the last couple days after seeing the twitter/texags hype.
S2 was legit. IMO less fake "real" people than S1.
S1 really bothered me with how awful the "real" characters acted. The crazy lady was obviously an actor with scripted lines. Her dialogue was lazy writing from typical hollywood types. The Mel Gibson line was so predictable. How people think " omg, how does fielder find these freaks..." is beyond me. The only genuine real person IMO was 3 yr old Remy. Even his mother seemed fake to me.
S2 was completely different. Only 2 "real" characters I thought were fake. The starbucks gf of the pilot in ep 1 and the " I've been kicked off every dating app" pilot. That dude was obviously an actor, and a bad one.
Regardless, the final 4 eps of S2 are amazing. The dedication to the project from Fielder hits every emotion. That last ep is one of the most satisfying things I've ever watched. I loved The Curse, I guess I'll watch NFY.
