    2nd season should be renamed " The Detective"
    First season great but the second season focused a lot on Sara Howard so the season should be renamed "detective Sahara Howard" as the antagonists in the series seems to be her.

    FAQ1

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