Based off of early viewing of the second season—screeners went out to critics beginning two days ago (our set will be arriving this Thursday, with any luck)—Ken Tucker over at EW.com gives the first several episodes an overall A- score in his overall impressions. His wrap up makes for a choice quote:
“It’s difficult enough to hook a viewer like me, who resists sprawling, noncontemporary narratives; it’s another level of pop culture wizardry to make such storytelling seem so vivid, so vital, and just plain fun.”
A pretty good start, and we now that the Daily Beast’s Jace Lacob has been very positive on the first three episodes he’s already viewed.
