    Rather a sequel then a second season
    The second season features a totally separate story from the one featured in season one. But, essentially, the second season is more of the same (a killer on the loose preying on innocent infants, female-empowerment message,...). This is not necessarilly a bad thing because the mix of all those things made the first season such a rewarding experience. Also, it is a very beautiful show to look at with detailed costumes and beautiful set design. Definitely recommended!

    FAQ1

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