I preferred season 1 I think, but still enjoyed S2. To me, S1 was about imperialism and I related to seeing water as a healing element. In S2 it was more about sex/power (so I get the xrated scenes). I also didnt realize many of the scenes importance until looking them up after lol. For example, when Aubrey Plaza was walking in Noto and all the men were like swarming her, this was from a Monica Vitti scene from 1960 - so cool (in that movie, a bunch of rich folk go yachting around italy and woman goes missing).
