The way I see it, is that Elliot is the narrator of this story, so that storyline comes with everything pretty much as he sees it when he sees it, which is pretty jarring sometimes considering that he’s fuckin crazy. It does make for a tough watch in season 2, being fully honest. I was wondering why they are doing all this crazy shit all the time, not progressing the story at all and was definitely like wtf am I watching. It felt slow and tedious, almost like I was watching a totally different show all of a sudden.
But I kept on with season 3 because my curiosity had to know what happened, and it started picking up again. Then I realized it makes a lot of sense to tell the story in this way and take the time to do it like that so you can kind of fully be in the journey with Elliot. I appreciated season 2 a little more in hindsight after I saw it that way.
