I always thought that the series had Season 2 Flu, i.e. the first season was worked on for years and years and honed to perfection, and then it was suddenly wildly successful so they had to write up a second season in a year tops to capitalize on the new IP instead of letting the art be itself.
It was supposed to be an anthology series. Each season taking place at a different time and with a different cast, focusing on a different "Stephen King"-esque mystery/horror.
