Finally got a chance to catch up on this season, and I'm happy I did. While some episodes have seemed to be some fillers at this point, I'm just in awe of the whole series. The shadow king seems pretty unstoppable at this point. It'll be interesting to see where the rest of the season goes.

Syd needs to get over herself. I don't really care for her arc at this point, and I just hope she figures out her place soon.

I don't think the plot is the problem. To me 2 really big things have changed.

1) They lost the creepiness factor that came from the yellow eyed demon and the angriest boy. Those 2 added just the right amount of skin crawling tension to season 1 and there isn't anything comparable in season 2.

2) Aubrey Plaza is no longer the main villain. She was absolutely killing it in season 1 as the main face of Farouk.

I still like season 2 and I can see enough threads that I think what looks like filler now won't be in the end, but season 2 has definitely not been as wild a ride as season 1, even if it's just as crazy.

The first season was amazing, but I agree this season hasn't been nearly as good. I think they raised the stakes too quickly, and the show would have been better if it had stayed grounded some. I realize he can literally do anything, but the show should have led into that more slowly.

One thing I have noticed, they aren't using the music as well as they did season one. I kind of miss some of the musical cues that I heard a lot in season 1.
