Well, after an extremely disappointing to say the least S1, I have not been following the production of S2 and 3 very much at all.

I just saw that S2 finished filming almost a year ago...200+ days ago. That is pretty odd to have finished that long ago and there is no release date, trailer, or anything yet.

Apparently they have also wrapped writing for s3 and are beginning pre-production on that now.

I'm not sure if S2 could be worse than s1, maybe the learned some lessons, but I doubt it.

There is almost no chance it will be worse. Even if everything else stays the same, the lack of covid shutdowns and losing a key actor in the middle of the season will ensure it rises above season 1 if only slightly.

But people who were much less excited about season 1 have been talking up season 2 as being much better, though who knows if that is worth anything.

Supposedly the rumor is that the show is probably dropping around May/June which means the trailer will probably drop in the March/April range.

I would imagine for you and other die hard fans it can only get worse. At least as far as staying true to the story. As seasons go on, shows tend to get further and further away from the books. For it to be this far off from source after just one season, it's going to be hard for them to reign it back in.

I just don't get certain show runners. It was the same with Foundation on Apple+. Here you have one of the greatest sci-fi stories ever by probably the greatest sci-fi author ever and you have show runners that go "nah, I think my version of the story is better than his."
