Season 2 seemed like a bunch of filler episodes to show the audience while they wrote some material.
This season seems pretty bad, I'm hoping it will improve. So far if you only watched season 1, you'd come out ahead.
Been watching Gundam 00, There's two seasons, the second season is pretty much a rewrite of the first season so if you like Gundams skipping the first season might not be a bad idea. (I like Gundams)
