I really enjoyed season 1. It had some interesting characters, an interesting setting, and an atmosphere of deep secrets. I thought Matthew M.'s dialogue was also well done, although I could understand others thinking it's a bit silly. Not to spoil anything, but often when a show depends on an implication of deep secrets, the final revelation can never live up to the built up atmosphere. So, for me, it kind of faded toward the end, but all in all, I enjoyed it.

OK, but...season 2 was from a different universe. It did not grab me at the start. And then it got worse and worse until...the Internet recaps started to get sarcastic and funny and it became "so bad it's good." Really, deeply into golden turkey territory. I know some people actually liked it, but I thought it was very very bad. But again, there is some entertainment value to very bad. But I would not recommend it, and I am very unlikely to tune in for season 3, in the remote event such a thing is produced.
