Everyone (rightly) talks about Ian McShane and Sebastian Stan, but Eamonn Walker, Susanna Thompson, and Dylan Baker were all fantastic too.

The scene where Samuels (Walker) tells Silas (McShane) that he has lost the kingdom is one of my favorite TV moments ever, as is the scene where Silas reveals he knows Jack (Stan) is gay. Both are in the first episode, I think.

In my opinion, season 2 is a good show, but it's hurt by people binging season 1 and rolling right into it.

Season 1 was truly special and has a wildly different tone, setting, and set of characters. Going into 2 off the high of 1, especially expecting more of the same, is a recipe for disappointment.
