The director of season 1 left the show. He’s since done the show Maniac on Netflix and is directing the next Bond movie. It’s part of why season 2 wasn’t as good.
Changing directors, having a short turn over between the seasons all contributed, I think. It’s like a sophomore album. Debut you basically have been making your entire life. If it’s successful then people want more. You’re under pressure to reproduce something that’s taken a lifetime to create, in a sense.
The story from season 1 was originally going to be a novel, but it got picked up as a TV series. Makes sense that with the writer under pressure and a great director leaving that season 2 was meh.
