Season 1 was well written, well acted and because it has the frame of the 1916 rebellion there's plenty of natural tension driving the story.
Season 2 starts out with people we don't know bluntly telling us the plot points and drives of the characters. There's no subtlety at all. The tension in this season is the personal problems people need to solve that have nothing to do with the original story of the Easter Uprising.
I understand they may not have been able to get the original actors from season 1, so I can't fault them for that. But, I was hoping this season would be about the repercussions of the 1st season's actions by the characters.
I just believe the writing and the plot are much weaker in Season 2.
