Concept: They acknowledge at one point that a show about someone who broods is not entertaining. It's still a show about someone who broods, though, so I don't know what to think about that. D
Story: They have some fun in the last few episodes, but most of the season's story is all about making someone who broods a lot brood more than usual. C

Enjoyment: Much better than the first season, but that's not saying much. Once again, in the moments when it lets itself have fun, it's kind of nice. Those moments are much more frequent than season one, but still not enough. C
