Disappointing sequel are the only words i can use to describe this There is a difference between being episodic and being disconected, and unfortunately this season falls in the latter It is oversaturated with flashback scenes that happen abbruptly with little to nothing coherant leading into them, this makes it hard to follow the various time jumps leaving the audience questioning what is the chain of events Pace ranges from overly dragged out info dumping to choppy a million different scenes per second with barely any inbetween, it does slightly inprove by the second half of the series, but by then the time that should've been used tocreate a connection to the new characters has been utterly wasted dulling what should've been a very emotional ending
There's not even the satisfaction of getting to see the OG characters again as they're mostly sidelined and stripped of what made them special

The tone is very different from s1, scrapping most of the slapstick comedy and showcases of life in that era for an attempt at a more serious and dark storytelling style, this shift in style however fails without being backed up by compelling character explorations and a good story structure and ultimately leaves potential emotional scenes coming off as just shock factor

I feel like it's such a pity to say all this, as the core of the story was beyond great and heartwrenching, but the way it was poorly executed it just couldn't be pulled off
