I found mech design to be superior in the first season. Off the top of my head the only mechs in Try that I find noteworthy are Burning and Crossbone Full Cloth.

Shia being a hollow character is a very good example of where Try falls short. Pretty much all characters were memorable in some way in S1, but there are too many in Try to develop them all meaningfully.

I watched these back to back, but I marathonned the first one and I guess that's always better.
