So far I think it's mostly just fine. It started off strong but has fallen off a bit for me after E4/5. There are still good bits but I feel like the writing is the weakest part of the show, weaker than S1. The pacing is very rushed and there's too much of a reliance on "telling" rather than "showing". But the action, production and casting are all top notch. Bella, Isabella, Young and Kaitlyn are all killing it, even if I'm not always happy with the direction they're given by the writers.
I loved S1 and have re-watched it all the way through several times. I don't see myself re-watching S2 quite as often. That is unless E6/7 turn out to be incredible, but even then getting though E4/5 will be a bit of a chore.
