Enjoyed s2, but the lol bad acting at times is distracting. I HATE the idea of turning this into a time travel show, but they seem to be handling that as delicately as they can.

I wouldn't call it time travel as I would call it switching between two alternative time lines. It appears for example that people like Tagomi can cross between "normal" 1962 and "nazi/japan" 1962. Just as Tagomi's assistant is from the actual time line but now has forced himself into the alternative timeline. But agreed, I wish it would just stay in the alternative realm and not toy with the real 1962.

It's kind of time travel movieish when the tapes give them glimpses of a possible future which they then try to prevent

That's true, though it seems more like a "multiple paths, here are the potential options" sort of thing rather than the characters themselves moving through time. The last dialogue between Juliana and the Man in the High Castle I guess best summed it all up.
