I don't like things about S2, I think the Arthur/Gwen relationship was rushed (I would have liked to see a bit more build-up) and the early episodes were at times very badly written with poor characterisation.

But then I think the writing of the female characters generally has been weak (with occasional exceptions) from the start and, at the end of the day, it's just a tv show. If people hate it *that* much, why not just stop watching?
