Masterful character development

Very obvious they knew what made season 1 great, and focused very specifically on that for season 2. The duality of cyborg/girl is more distinctly illustrated, and the antagonists have motivations firmly grounded in the reality of the culture they're from.

Pacing is quite appropriate, and definitely faster than season 1. The monologues in the first episode establish all the backstory you need, should you choose to skip Season 1 (but don't).

While the character development for the antagonists was good in the first season, they learned how to focus more closely in season 2. Pino's backstory is compelling, and makes the viewer question exactly which side they'd be on in real life.
