Should I watch season 2?


I bought the 1st season of this show (impulse purchase - had never seen it before) and I really enjoyed it...best tv show i've ever seen. Is season 2 worth watching? I like LaPaglia so I dont think Benzali's replacement would be too upsetting. Is the quality still top-notch? I think I'm going to buy it but I'd like to know what people think first

Yeah it's good. Not great but good. Watch it.

great thanks - the box set costs the same as a new release dvd so i'll give it a shot wen i have time

Definitley watch it!

Its not as good as Season One, but still very watchable and addictive.

Season 2 has three different stories, not just one long one. The third story is best (just dont read the leaflet in the DVD box before watching it, as it contains spoilers).

I loved that about Season 2, with it being more than one case and totally agree with jonny84 about the final case being the best x

LaPaglia is good and he has his moments, but the Second Season didn't capture the excitement of Season One with Benzali.

reply

Yes, definitely watch Season 2. In my opinion, it was just as good as Season 1. I was completely caught up in the cases and was disappointed when it ended. I don't understand why this show only got two seasons. It was so well done.

reply

Well, it looks like I'm the only one who's going to say don't bother. It was good, but suffered in comparison to Season One. Buy LaPaglia's movie "Lantana" instead.

i was only 15/16 when the 2nd season started but I dont remember it being all that good and i loved the 1st season

I'm a Buffyist, ask me how! _((B))_

While Season 1 was one of the greatest law tv-series ever, season 2 is just about average.

Season 2 suffers in characters, you really miss some of the actors from season 1 because the charisma just isn´t there in season 2. Also the writing is occasionally very sloppy in season 2.

I also think that season 2 gets better towards it end. I didn´t like the antiabortion message early in the season and the God stuff just isn´t my piece of pie.

All in all, season 1 was brilliant and season 2 is just ok. Just don´t expect too much from season 2 and it will be entertaining enough.

I purchased both 1 & 2, although I had not seen either since their original runs. Season 1 was better than I had recalled, but #2 was not up to the par. I much preferred the single case approach and the original actors, especially Benzali.
