The second season's inept reveals and tacked-on ending completely killed any hype for me, there's no chance I'll watch any more of that shitty script. Did this show change writers between seasons? The cinematography is still great, but there's not enough substance, well-lit drawn out shots of abstract spaces can't by themselves make the show worth the time, even if there's some spicy

to go with them. All the screenplays of the second season are worse, the absurdist humour drawn on parallels to the real world of work seem to be sprinkled in the second pass this time, not really melding with the rest. The camera is great, the cast is good given the material is so much less funny and more sparse, but the show is still horribly mismanaged, someone should have noticed it's gotten dumb.
