Let's put it this way - six episodes or half the season in already, it's quite clear that expanding runtime from 10 episodes of the first season to 12 episodes in season 2 was not only detrimental to flow of narration and content, but the show would probably benefit from shorter order of max 8 episodes. Elliot mad, world in chaos, Elliot mad, Gideon expires, Elliot mad, FBI lady finds Fun Society HQ, Elliot mad, Darlene pranks E Corp, Elliot gets owned by Darknet store owner, Darlene convinces Angela to participate in another FS attack, Elliot eventually mans up. What we watched so far would fit in max 3 eps and even then it would have a considerably high ratio of "Elliot still mad", "Angela's facial inexpression closeups still not interesting to watch" filler.
But that's a moot point, it is 12 episodes and there is not enough true content to fill it so it is what it is. Let's just hope that it leads somewhere more interesting than another schizo reveal - either that it's all in Edward Alderson's mind, not vice versa, or that Darlene doesn't exist and is just a figment of imagination of someone else from the same ward.
