I thought they wasted Anna Torv this season and Holden's love interest in season 1 added something that season 2 lacked. But that's me being nitpicky... |

The ending of S2 was kind of open ended and a little disappointing. The season also focused too much on child murders for my taste but the heebee jeebees of that wore off after 3 episodes. I really enjoyed how S1 focused on interviewing the serial killers and hearing their modus operandi in S1. The producers slacked off on that aspect of the story in S2. Also, as you mentioned Ford's girlfriend brought a welcome change of pace which was missing. Great series. Did anyone else notice how the camera zoomed in every time Ford would hit the button on the tape recorder during an interview? The record button has the orange strip on the key and he often didn't push that one. Had to be intentional for such a detailed show but never addressed. |

I got 3 episodes into season 2 today due to traveling. This whole thing with children is a differnt animal than season 1. I can't even watch commercials where they show sick children without getting squeamish.
So far, enjoyed 1 much more than 2 but as mentioned only three episodes in and it's a me thing not quality of series. |

IMO season 1 was superior but don't get me wrong, both are fantastic binge worthy seasons. Season 1 intrigued me more because of how it all started and of course it featured more of Ed Kemper who was creepy af!
Season 2 was damn good in its own right but I didn't care too much about a couple subplots. One being the lesbian's relationship with the bartender. And secondly, the subplot involving Bill Tench's weirdo son. |

The lesbian subplot was filler that I couldn't care less about. Tench came off as a guy you would want to hang out with for a couple drinks. He was the only really likable main character except for Barney who we barely got to see and he winds up getting Jeffery Dahmer Jr. for an adopted son. |

Keep in mind that, it seems to me, a lot of the filler and the relative interest of various narratives, are in part a function of reality.
They can't just make up serial killers and put them in the timeline to keep things exciting. Their skills and methods and the enemies they faced evolved over time.

Yeah it looks like we'll have to wait quite awhile for Season 3 (the show runner David Fincher is busy working on a Netflix film starring Gary Oldman atm )
