One thing that really stood out to me when watching the BBC4 New Avengers repeats at the beginning of last year was shown in the series 2 episodes. Whatever issues there were with scripting and production, the leads looked sooo relaxed and comfortable in their respective roles and how they related to one another that even an episode like The Gladiators (which is my least favourite) proved enjoyable.Timeless A-Peel wrote:I think it would have, too--I'd have liked it to go back to the season one format and redress the balancing issues between the leads, but with some of the gutsier season 2 plots like Obsession/Dead Men.Dandy Forsdyke wrote:Timeless A-Peel wrote: He might have been able to hire some more writers, too. One of the joys of TNA was the character continuity. It would have been nice if he could have stepped back and focussed more on putting those little touches in without having to worry about churning out half a dozen plots.
I think it may have followed the patten of season 6 which revitalised the show. Season 2 TNA reminds me of season 6 of the original series.
It's evident in series 2 that they were struggling, the limited budget meant the the scale of series 1 was no longer on display. Even the work of the directors wasn't as exciting or stylish.
