been catching up on S2 over the last week, have a few episodes left. so far, S2 is far better than S1. some really cool, really dark stuff. however, if it were me, i'd completely eliminate the entire frankenstein arc, and possibly the great majority of the dorian gray arc. the frankenstein arc is a complete time sink that doesn't contribute to the overall story whatsoever. the doctor is necessary, yes, but his creations and their interests simply aren't. they could have alluded to the fact that he has interesting after-hours "hobbies" without showing - we all know the story. every diversion with his monster completely halts momentum of the main story. total waste of time for me. the dorian gray storyline is somewhat necessary, but we don't need the amount of focus outside of the main circle of folks. example, i don't really care that him & his ladyboy played ping pong. just dumb. the ball, yes, but all the superfluous detail & story is, again, halting. if i ever go back to re-watch this show, i'm going to find a fan edit that has removed these things, or do it myself. would be much more brisk and serve the tension better.
