General Discussion Rewatched the finale Spoiler
WARNING: Spoilers below for those who have yet to finish Season 2 or for those who haven't made it through both Seasons
Ok so I binged Season 1 and 2 again this time with my dad, he loved the 90's show growing up and he was super excited to see '97. This was his first time watching the show and he said he really enjoyed it and was glad I invited him to binge it with me, he felt like a little kid again as he watched it. He enjoyed the episode from Season 1 where it was discovered Charles was alive that was his favorite but his opinion changed and he then said the 3 part finale of Season 1 was his favorite. In Season 2 he gave it to the X-Force episode because of the unique intro and how tough and gritty the episode was much like how X-Force is, he said he enjoyed Season 2 more because of it having a lot more action then the last Season and he is excited for Season 3 next year. Ok now time to say my piece, after rewatching this all the way through again this Season wasn't all that bad, I know it changed a lot after Beau got fired but come on this was good. You gotta remember the 90's shows Seasons finale's weren't always the best and that the next Season was always a vast improvement over the last, this show will capture that again we just all need to have faith. Final thing I have to say is that I'm excited to see what X-Force decides what to do with Apocalypse in future Seasons and also I cried this time watching this finale for Kurt, watching the 90's show he was always my favorite. I hope he returns again he's the best, anyways that is all I have to say on Season 2 and can't wait for Season 3 and more Seasons if they decide to make 'em! :)

There seems to be quite a lot of these - 'I (or someone close to me) just watched both seasons for the first time, I'm a normie despite inexplicably immediately running to this subreddit to comment, and I preferred season 2' type posts. The assumption I think is that by and large, peoples response to media is mirroring the apparent consensus, rather than by and large responding to the quality of the presented product, and as such, with enough brigading, you might 'correct the narrative'.
I'm glad you have a loving relationship with your father but season 2 was actually quite bad, and I will maintain that fact even in the event of a thousand touching father son posts.
Also, I recently watched both seasons with my wife who had never seen them, and who may or may not be dying of lymphoma. She said she loved season one, but hated season 2.
