complete fucking garbage TV show with terrible actors and writing that makes GOT look good. Also, the production value in terms of costume design/sets/makeup/VFX is FUCKING TERRIBLE.

It would also help if AMC got directors that knew what they were doing.

Yes, 2 had more good characters, of which Kirsten Dunst, an actress I never liked before, was the best.

But season 1 had a much more interesting plot.

I liked 2 better.
Aside from Peggy and Ed plot you had the gangster family's inner struggles and gang wars which was more interesting than S1's Bilbo being awkward and cop's subplot
