I loved the first series so much. With the exception of a bit of weakness transitioning to the second half, it was incredible, beautiful, poignant, smart, almost perfect. Then they made more, and it was clearly written by someone who understood nothing of the first series and approached a character driven exploration of philosophical questions of identity, ontology, and social responsibility with the intelligence and subtlety of Wile E Coyote vs Roadrunner produced by the Hallmark Channel.
