    Season 2. Why has Sara Howard now become a Mary Sue in Season 2 ?
    I do not get it? They had the perfect strong female character in Season One. Now Sara knows all and does it all. She is even doing the Psychological profiling of possible motives, and possible suspects instead of Dr. Kreizler. They have given the lines actually written for Kreizler, and give them to Sara's character instead.

    John Moore has mostly been reduced to a weak character, who spends all his time getting push around constantly by either his fiancee, Sara, and William Randolph Hearst.

    Dr. Kreizler just stands around and gabs most of the time since Sara now does almost everything important.

    FAQ1

    • Is there a second season? There's a synopsis for it's first episode, but that seems to be all there is.
