Now that the rust has settled, can we at least agree that season 02 was better than season 01?

'no'

Look at OP trying to start a (You) farm

Did season 2 have less plagiarism?

I'm just going to assume Thomas Ligotti actually posts here, I mean I wouldn't be shocked

(checked)
That's why it sucked

yea

Season one also blatantly ripped off some of Alan Moore's writing from Top Ten.

Ligotti merely adopted Carcosa. Chambers was born in it, molded by it.

Season 2 hit more high points for me than 1.

2 suffered because the real content of the story was very slowly unveiled (the robbery of the diamonds in the 90’s, the corrupt Vinci Police department playing a role in that and in the Rail Quarter). When watched week-to-week this was far more noticeable than on DVD. That and it suffered by calling out the corrupt power-structure of California.

But the romance between Ray and Ani, the bro-moments between Ray and Frank, that whole train station sequence. Really conspiracy-kino. Shows detectives who fail to bring justice but are willing to surrender their lives to try and expose the truth.
