I also didn't like S2 as much as S1. The first season for me was like 8,5-9 and this one was like a small 7. It felt a bit cheap sometimes, rushed, easy,... I dunno. 

I agree with the scores and general impression. They tried to do too much for their time allotment. We had an underground revolution, which amounted to kids doing graffiti. There was a presidential assassination/coup, which was barely presented as a meaningful event. I loved Graceland and thought Mailman was ok, but for me, that time would have been better spent in the bunker. Shonda Rhimes says she first writes the finale of Grey's Anatomy then spends the next 20 episodes figuring out how to get there. Feels like they did the same thing here but didn't have 20 episodes to do it in.

My prediction at the end of S1 about disliking the potential Jeremy storyline proved prescient. So Alex was the one who sent the messages about Jane before she was born? If so, why? Was it an attempt to create her or stop her? A personal fixation of mine is the overall lack of complex female antagonist/villains. Sinatra was absolutely perfect, she will be missed. Though it's possible they use some timey-wimey stuff to keep Samantha in the story but it wouldn't be "Sinatra". I was predominantly watching for the machinations of Sinatra and Jane so no real comment on the rest of the characters.  At this point it's 50/50 if I come back for S3, I came for "a serene community inhabited by some of the world's most prominent individuals. But this tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high-stakes investigation unfolds", It's getting further and further away from that.

The plot had potential but the memory thing is barely apart of the story. Guy has one friend who knows nothing about him and constantly threatens him. The daughter is very pretty and that's all she brings to the show unless you're into watching someone emotionally cheat on their spouse with their highschool sweetheart. Speaking of the detective, he's the only one who doesn't across as just going through the motions. In short, the whole thing just feels boring and kinda low budget. 3 episodes is enough, I'm out. Y'all folks enjoy. 

Just got around to watching this and it was great. The thing I enjoyed most was the villains. Much like CW's 'The 100', they're not simply foils for the "good guys" to do battle with but full fleshed complex people. "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf", Sinatra and maybe moreso Billy, embodied that quote/phrase in the best of was. Looking forward to season 2 but like others I'm not particularly excited about the potential storylines they seem to be setting up. Good for Jane, she got her Wii and she seemed to have maintained her mask with her colleagues.
