Rather than declining, the second season is better than the first.

I'm currently watching this and I thought it was marginally less good than the first season so far, but I'm only up to episode 6 so it may get better (especially if, as you say, new environments are explored).

I'm not sure how much you'll be impressed by the rest if you weren't by episodes 1 & 6; maybe you simply had a higher opinion of season 1 than I did. Maybe you could check back in when you finish and see how your opinion changed.

Ep 1 was really good, but ep 6, while having a good concept, was hurt a lot by having everything be explained by villainous monologues, and by general illogical behaviour of the villain (even given the situation). It lacked the elegance of the best episodes. And before that was the Mirror Lake episode that you also didn't like, so maybe it's just a brief slump.
