Thanks for the info!

The aesthetics, acting, and writing seemed to take an immense dive; I was half convinced I wasn't even watching the same show. By the time I started s2e2 I had already googled and found out that it wasn't just me and that it doesnt get better (I tend not to search ahead of time to avoid spoilers). What a disappointment. I really liked the detective noir thing.

I might have to check out the novels.

The same author did another similar novel called Thin Air, which you might like - it maintains that tech noir theming.
