I just finished season 2 now. Without much spoilers, it was a real mixed bag. Some parts were amazing, some parts were very mediocre, all parts felt very rushed and poorly paced. I still liked it, but I would give it a 7/10 rather than the 10/10 starting season...

That said, episode 7 was fantastic. The only episode where the writers let characters actually talk for more than 30 seconds.

I'm 50/50 about it. Obviously spoilers ahead...

My favorite episode was the alternate universe one, where I could, in my head, just hear that song from season 1 "what could've been", with tears in my eyes, seeing Powder and everyone else so happy and getting along.

But overall the season felt so much weaker. To me it felt rushed, a kinda all over the place. It felt like they originally planned to have three seasons but then decided to cramp everything from season 2 and 3 into a final one, which cut a lot of things short. I think the relationship mending between Vi and Powder felt kinda rushed, it needed more time to develop - same with Powder's mental progression. Things just happened too fast and with too little screen time. Or Jayce surviving in that cave?! Where did he even get all the resources from to make fire or repurpose his hammer? Other characters like Sevika completely fell to the sidelines and did not even have dialog towards the end. Mel's story also felt super rushed and just happened, which kinda felt like they did not do her justice. Powder's ending was sad, I loved her, but that whole last moment also was kinda lacking.

The whole season felt like a pot full of tasty ingredients only warmed up, instead of letting it gently cook for a few hours and let all those aromas blend together into something amazing.
