Will Yun Lee had none of the mannerisms of Joel Kinnaman either. I don't think Mackie did come across as previous version fair assessment, I think the show runners didn't predict they would be changing actors imo and didn't put enough markers for you to believe these characters were clearly the same person and Anthony Mackie wasn't told to try to mimic Kinnaman performance. It was point of emphasis his interviews while he was trying to implement Kinnaman stuff into role he was going to be doing something different.
Season 1 was better than Season 2 because it had the way stronger story and world building. Plus Season 2 toned itself for mass consumption so it was less gritty and violent than first season. Season 2 was fine it just didn't have as good story to work with as Season 1. Anyways I am looking forward to cartoon which I believe is coming out this week right?
