Kind of a wonky premiere but I'm excited to see where it goes.
I think it's great so far. My one big criticism is that Valentina is just not an interesting character, whereas Armand (the manager from S1) stole every scene he was in.

Imagery is more static so far (one episode in) than last season. There so much less of the "environment is another character" and "travel porn" stuff. Which is staggering to me given the locale.
The writing (again, in just one episode) is way more forced and on the nose. This feels like a rough draft at a set up. But there is a ton of potential, and most of the characters get at least one great moment.
It's less funny and weird than S1 right now, which is a bummer. But there's a lot to like and I'm certainly not bailing on it. I want to see more and I'm sure it'll build up steam as it continues.
But if I'm only comparing S1E1 to S2E1, S1 has it.
I agree with you about Valentina after one episode.

So as usual I'm watching forgotten 80s cartoons on YouTube and the classic Turbo Teen - the cartoon about a boy that transforms into a car - comes on. About ten minutes in, a very blatant cover of Laura Branigan's Self Control starts playing. At first I thought that Branigan ripped off a cartoon, but nope, Turbo Teen started in September of 1984, a full six months after Control was released. Though Turbo Teen feels much older, it was in fact just outdated crap. But how did it rip off a hit song at its peak? I'll have to research this more.
