I'm just over 20 minutes into season 2 and am thinking of giving up on it right now. Is it worth continuing?

Watched the first episode of Season 2. Doesn't have the immediate appeal of the first one but there looks to be enough there to keep it interesting - maybe. I'll watch a few more at least. Could use a better backdrop than the scummier parts of California though.

Just watched episode 4 of S2. It's a grower. Still nothing like as good as S1 but a pretty good cop drama nonetheless. And a fucking good shootout at the end of this episode!

Utter shite. That's all I'll say about season 2.

That's the only review I need. :)
