like I want to be excited. I am excited. but there's this thing that happens with shows that end really well where the sequel has an impossible job before it even starts

S1 ended in a way that felt complete. not "left open for more" complete, actually complete. the kind of ending where you don't need more but you'd watch more. that's a hard thing to pull off and they did it. so now S2 has to walk in after that and justify existing, which is brutal

my specific fears without spoiling anything:

1/ they explain too much. S1 worked partly because some things were left alone

2/ the tone shifts. darker or lighter, either would feel off

3/ Berlin himself becomes someone different to fit a new story

I'll watch it regardless obviously. but there's a version of S2 that makes me wish they'd stopped and there's a version that makes S1 even better in hindsight. those are very different outcomes.

hoping it's the second one. dropping soon so I guess we find out
