Gonna skip Season 2 but watch season 3


I hated the first episode of season 2 (so bloody, so violent, so evil), I missed Anthony Hopkins and gave up on it. I read a large amount of hate on season 2 but season 3 looks amazing. I am gonna dive back in to season 3 when it comes out based on the amazing trailer and just figure it out.

LOL I know right.

Anthony Hopkins was in season 2 you know.

It's probably the hardest of the three seasons (from what I've seen so far of s3) to follow, season 1 at least had two distinct time periods whereas season 2 skips around all over the place. I realize a lot of people didn't like that. It was an occasional source of frustration for me too, but this has always been a show that demands more effort from its viewers than most. Not everything is laid out for you, neatly packaged with a bow on top.

It's going to be hard to fully appreciate and follow season 3 without watching 2 first. But if that's how you want to do it ... I wish you luck!

Interesting, but you are going to be completely clueless about what is going on. To me, Season 2 was marginally better than Season 1, but I found both of then to be kind of cool, but mostly disappointing and very confusing. It's mostly the triumph of BS effects and nonsense over an actual story or point.

The draw to WW seems to be so many beautiful naked women ... and some men for those who are interested in that. Amazing in this age of nudity for so long that people are still interested in looking at makes people. I have to admit though that Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood are nice to look at.

In the last years after Hopkins said he did not care about his own daughter I am sick and done with him. Far too late. I really hate celebrities, especially overpaid actors. No one is worth that much, and the only reason they get a lot of money whatever they do is that their industry pulls in money from such a vast audience. Jobs like that ought to be taxes at a different higher rate than normal people's jobs.
