First Season: There's no plot. It is poorly acted. I feels like a rush job. It is just not honest to the original comic book series. Save your time and money by watching re-runs of Home & Away. You'll be happier for it. Second Season: Finally, they hired a decent writer! It is perfection! I have watched each episode about twelve times. In the sixth episode, spotting that mouse that is hiding on set - made my day. Love it. Buy this. NOW!

Could be me but I struggled to follow the plot of season 2 at times, too many sub plots and characters to get your brain around. That said, it's still a gripping watch at times with tension, suspense, great acting (Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughan reinventing herself) and high production levels. The first season set the bar high and this season falls well short but there's no shame in that.

This series 2 is, in my opinion: incomprehensible, Inaudible, unbelievable tripe. I can only imagine that the positive reviews have been written by people who either need one more brain cell to make up a synapse or have a vested interest. Of course this may be a 'generational thing', I am in my 70th year, but, if so, pass me the petanque set.
