I loved season 1. Season 2 was not as good i think. The story lacked focus and didn’t have an overall theme like S1. Still there where some great new characters, decent character development and a nice setup for a third season. I guess we’ll never know if S3 would have been any better.

I agree. I dont know why they didn’t make the violin/lighthouse guy the Big Bad of the whole season — he was great.
But he only existed (dramaturgically speaking) to give Stede a reason to reflect on his feelings — and I think therein lies the problem. The second season took the anachronistic charm of the first and went too far into trying to diagnose, therapize and solve the issues of the characters, leaving nothing for the drama afterwards.
My complaint with Oppenheimer was that the character was only harmatia, my issue with OFMD s2 was that they had none.
