Anyone else find the start of Season 2 subpar?

The second and third seasons aren't as weighty and emotionally dour in tone as the first. I remember when I watched I was a little thrown off by the changes in location and tone, as well as the change in credit sequence and intro music.

After a couple more episodes in Miracle things will start to work for you. It did for me. This show is one where it shows a scene and then later in the season it shows that scene but from another perspective and it takes on a whole other meaning. I don't know what the technical writing term for it is, I just call it the Rashomon thing. So at first you're watching a whole bunch of sequences unfold but don't really get what or why. The second and third seasons lean into that quite a bit.

Stick with it. Once the season is done you will see the whole picture and then you can move onto season 3 which gets almost surreal in places. You gotta just go along for the ride with this one. It pays off in the end.
