I enjoyed Mystery Road but have not watch MR: Origin. Steeltown Murders was enjoyable but did not set the world on fire. Some of the Welsh accents are pretty bad (looking at you Phil)

They say they are only doing 4 seasons. Probably will just wait until it is done and watch it them. Got about half way through the first season and just got very bored.

I was hate watching S1 by the end and almost didn't start S2 but I will admit that it was a huge step up in quality.

Season 1 is waaaay better than 2. The pacing and writing are a mess this season.

Oh I disagree completely, at least for the first half of S2. The last couple of episodes were a slog, however, I'll give you that.

I disagree, season one was basically all prologue with multiple actors playing the same role. The whole thing felt disjointed. The saving grace of the first season was Paddy Considine’s Shakespearean performance as King Viserys.
Season 2, was much better narratively, it dived into the actual story. The biggest issue I had with season 2 was them basically keeping Mat Smith’s Daemon cooped up in Harrenhal for almost the entire season.

Idk, maybe it was the fresh dynamic of season 1, but I was really invested all the way through. It helped that all of the actors were great, including Consadine. It had a narrative weight that felt similar to Thrones at its peak.
This season has been several steps down in investment for me. It's fine, but considering they're concluding with season 4, and how much story there is still left to go, it's baffling how little actually happens this season. It's especially weird considering all the superfluous shit they added (everything Mysaria, Daemon's multi-episode Harranhall escapade, Corlas' bastard son, the peasant subplot). This is a story that could have been told in a really tight 3 seasons, and S2 feels like mostly filler.

But what if I already howl at the full moon?

Well then I suppose you'd enjoy Harrenhal right from day one.

Funny thing is that none of these comments make me want to watch it

Those first three Ken Burns docs; The Civil War, Baseball, and Jazz are all masterpieces.
