Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carrie Fairchild" data-source="post: 318077" data-attributes="member: 673">I'm a bit torn but I'm going to go with season one. It was messy. I thought Jason's near death computer error was a cop-out, I never bought the great romance between him & Frankie, I thought Miles' behaviour over Fallon was creepy and while I know the reasons behind it, I didn't like the diminishing screentime that Connie had as the season progressed. In saying that, there was a chaotic energy to season one that I felt was lacking in season two. I loved Sable's feverish attempts to unseat Connie & Jeff and how they blew up in her face. I loved her battles with Connie. This season had some amazing standout scenes including the trial, Sable & Frankie's "You slut!!" face off at the ambassador's residence and the finale scene on the airport tarmac.The storylines in season two were better paced and settled into a better rhythm where all characters were being served but the season still felt a bit flat. The sparks from the Sable vs Connie war were much missed as her  confrontations with Frankie never quite matched them (bar the aforementioned embassy face-off and maybe the one where Sable cracked the riding crop in the poolhouse). Sable herself almost felt sidelined in season two, with her directionless relationship with Zach being her main storyline for most of the season. I enjoyed the Bliss & Kolya storyline and the Hoyt Parker intrigue and subsequent re-emergence of Phillip but for all of it's fault, I still think season one was the more vibrant and exciting of the two.</blockquote>
