I started watching because of this thread. Really enjoyed the first season. And it appears the writers thought - we have something magical here so let's totally mess with everything in the second season. They made all the characters suddenly unlikable. Really not enjoying the second season.
I had the exact same reaction thru the first 2 episodes, but it got better the last half of the season. Still not as good as Season 1 was though. Season 2 was a little darker humor (for lack of a better term). I may be giving too much credit to the writers, but I was thinking the separate seasons are representative of different stages of a relationship. At first it's fun, funny, exciting, new, then as life happens you go thru the ups and downs that all relationships go through... still fun and funny, but with a lot of "stuff". The characters relationships all evolved that way in the 2nd season. Hoping season 3 is back on par with the 1st season in terms of the quick wit, good banter, etc...I loved the first season and turned a few of my friends on to it. I was psyched when season two was released, but I've only gotten through two episodes in over a month. Not sure what they did, but it's not working.
