Again, if you're interested at all in the show, it behooves you to check this (long ass) column out. It's worth it, I swear. The devil's in the details and this guy is great at picking them out.

Completely agree with him here:

"This season is difficult, probably by design. Put differently, it lacks a lot of the simple enjoyment and wonder of season one. It's not as good in many ways, but I am enjoying it — immensely, in fact. Here's the thing, though: I'm enjoying it because of all the work it demands of me. This is not a sit-back-and-watch show. It's a lean-forward-and-take-notes-or-you'll-be-lost show. Those notes and that hard work are paying off. I stood up and cheered when I saw the chandelier this week. It's genuinely exciting to figure things out."
