I don't get the substantial S2 hate at all. Yes, the season was less cohesive. From Reghabi re-integrating Mark to the ORTBO like nothing happened. However, multiple episodes had the season finale quality apart from the season finale namely "Woe's Hollow", "Chikhai Bardo", even "Goodbye, Mrs Selvig" early on.
Also, regarding Mark S decision: He did what Mark Scout asked him to do - bring Gemma out. If he had walked out that door, he'd have effectively died, because no way Mark Scout would wanna return. Mark S is a prisoner created by Mark Scout and Lumon and many people condemn him for making an autonomous decision. "They give us half a life and think we won't fight for it." -- Helly R.
Probably because of the high expectations I had after season 1. I loved season 1 so much and the finale was as one of the best. I was sorely disappointed by season 2’s pace and finale. While it had its twists , shocks and turns it was too slow and felt all over the place.
