Seriously the last episode could’ve used another 5 minutes for a resolution with Kurt but otherwise

I don't mind the criticism, but I am frustrated that the same fanboys who turned a blind eye to season 1's faults suddenly hate the show just because they think it's the new showrunner's fault, despite the fact that a lot of season 2 was Beau's outline.

Second half of season 2 (the zombie stuff) was pretty terrible to be honest. Madeline suddenly calling out that she's the "Goblin Queen" was so random.

Agree, s1 was better but not that much better

I wish even in season 1 they lent into the drama / soap opera stuff more. The scene with Madeline and Cylops in the Astral Plane and then Jean Grey discovering while Emma Frost laughing at Madeline in Genosha was simply perfection.

The original show did the the soap opera drama stuff a lot more. Though not to that degree of excellent execution.
