The Alienist opens when a series of haunting, gruesome murders of boy prostitutes grips New York City. Newly appointed police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt (Geraghty) calls upon criminal psychologist (aka alienist) Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Brühl) and newspaper illustrator John Moore (Evans) to conduct the investigation in secret. They are joined by Sara Howard (Fanning), a headstrong secretary determined to become the city's first female police detective. Using the emerging disciplines of psychology and early forensic investigation techniques, this band of social outsiders set out to find and apprehend one of New York City's first serial killers.

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.
