I would have given the first season 5 stars. I think the second full season was a success, although I wasn't able to follow all of it and got a bit lost in the characters and drama. The Graduation season is very different: much more character focused, with some interpersonal drama, but very little high-stakes action. That might speak to Travis' theatre background, and to the show's well-deserved reputation for having heart, but I think this season could benefit from more jeopardy, and perhaps more focus on the players.
