I couldn't wait until Xmas and I watched season 2 over the past few days.
For me, the second season does not touch the first, which was marvellous. Everything in the second season feels rushed, with too many storylines and not enough time taken to flesh out what is going on. In some ways, it reminds me of the second season of Rome, when they essentially crammed 2-3 seasons worth of stories into one. It is the same with Arcane season 2.
Character development is either undeveloped or discarded, and as a result the emotional weight of actions and consequences that were one of the first season's strengths is missing.
Overall, I was kind of disappointed.
