Not as good as season 1 but not that far off. I think most of the problems come from the additional 2 episodes (this season has 8 episodes whilst season 1 only had 6) and the lack of worthwhile content for it. It does feel like there's more filler in season 2 and entire parts that could have been cut out .(the park people for example). This also affects the pacing. It feels less like a long movie and falls back to the original walking dead's problems post season 7 where there's a story to tell but it's bogged down in too much character drama. Hopefully they'll be able to course correct for season 3.
