Season 1 yes. Season 2 is totally different than 1. A lot of the characters are different, the tone, the story, etc, all wildly diverge from S1. Season 1 reveals the mysteries that it leads to and the story changes from there. If that change is a big dropoff in excitement for you, then Season 2 is probably not going to be as good. Season 1 had a final cliffhanger scene but otherwise wrapped up well.

I don't remember S2 as well but I think that wrapped up well too. The cancellation isn't a reason to avoid it.
