Legion and Patriot had a very similar journey for me. The first seasons I was really impressed and enjoying the bold stylistic choices. But by season 2 it's like both shows got so self-congratulatory and they stopped telling a story and kept taking so much time out for these ambitious or indulgent stylistic sequences, one after the other, and you just feel so impatient, like WHEN DOES THE STORY CONTINUE? My friends had the same exact experience too. I don't mind indulgence really but with a serialized story, it can feel like they are just wasting time and like nothing is happening in a show that once had great momentum and kept you on the edge of your seat. Outside of Lynch I find it hard to sit through that stuff. That may not be fair...You could see people saying the same thing about season 3 of Twin Peaks...but what can I say? Lynch's work just speaks to me. When other people do it I get impatient!
