I agree with it being too Hollywood, but the season is still early so I've still got hope. The subject of this season seems to be more of corruption vs the occult in S1. S1 started the grimy/creepy vibe off right from the get-go (first scene with the dead girl) while S2 took time to introduce the characters first before any 'meat' of the story. I didn't think that was totally necessary though...cmon HBO give your audience some credit - we can figure the characters out on our own.
