I'm enjoying the show enough to have made it to season 2. I like the 2 main characters, Maggie and OA, and hope they will be further developed.
Many reviewers have complained about the Jubal character's shouting, and I agree it's very annoying. If he's shouting because it's a big room with a lot of people in it, how come no one else needs to shout? The way he shouts makes me think he has significant hearing loss. But it's not just the volume, it's also what he's shouting: he cycles through "Go, go, go!" "Let's go, people!" and "Let's go, let's go!" in every episode. He's more like a high school football coach than an FBI leader type. He doesn't seem to add anything; the team is always one step ahead of him.
In general, I think the writers are being a bit lazy. Jubal's lines are just one example. Another is in the human trafficking episode in which characters who certainly should know better keep saying "the Ukraine" instead of just "Ukraine," which has been standard since the fall of the Soviet Union.
This show has enough potential to keep me watching for a while.
