I liked S2 as much or more than S1, but it's definitely not a happy fun time, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with not watching something if you think you might regret it afterwards. Honestly, you don't even need a reason. It's nice to support good shows when you can, but it's a show and you're a person; you very clearly come first.

I loved S2 - it moves Jess's story to a more complicated-relations-between-women focus, which I thought was a good theme shift instead of rehashing jess-vs-toxic-masculinity with some more watered down version that wasn't as horrifying as or impactful Kilgrave. And I thought it was really good storytelling in the same reluctant-escalation mode. But it's still absolutely gutting, so yeah, hold off until you're in a better place.

This is really well articulated. I'd never quite put this into words about S2, but it's spot on, and definitely a big part of what I thought the writers did right with S2. After S1 they were in a delicate position where it would've been really easy to go back to a well that wouldn't work a second time, but they maneuvered the show really deftly to keep it fresh and keep it moving, while still feeling very true to the characters and to what the story is about.
