Where do I start?
The characters in Season One were very developed and layered, in Season Two they seemed a lot more shallow and there were a lot of times they seemed OOC based on how their character had initially been developed to be.
The storylines were generally awful, each one designed to have an 'OMFG' factor, the result being none of them had it. Story arcs were no longer than two episodes which made it hard to be interested in the show and get as involved as I did in Season One. There were too many guest stars around for such brief periods which made relationships on the show feel meaningless. Overall it became very predictable and even dull.
The overall feel of the show in Season Two was a lot more shallow and comedic, which made it less and involving and the characters less interesting.
Oh, and then there was Chuck and Blair, The couple of the show, essentially. Instead of having scenes between them that developed their relationship, they had them play a twenty five episode long on and off game with each other. The game was fun in 2x08, they did develop somewhat in 2x13 & 2x25... but over the entirety of the season, they were messed about and played with so much that their coming together finally was wasted on me a little because I knew it had to happen and had been waiting for it and just wanted it over with.
Basically, Season Two was awful in my opinion because I expected so much after Season One, and was given so little. The show became messy, inconsistent, out of character and slightly shallow. Yet, I can't stop watching because I commited myself when I fell totally in love with Season One. So I'm still excited about Season Three, mostly because I'm hoping it will be better than Season Two.
