As far as I can tell season 2 has moved more away from transporting and the original concept and closer to the issues that will come when he does those jobs. Also changed is less driving scenes, no more swearing and less nudity (none at all for the yankees)
On the other hand the acting and writing seems to have improved just a little bit. Still not good, but better than season 1.
The season picks up quite a bit half way through. The plots are much more intricate and detailed. They're pretty hit or miss but when it's awesome, it's movie quality good. There's fewer driving scenes, but they're a lot better done. If the show continues at this pace, it should be really outstanding by season 4. I really love the globe trotting aspect of the show now. I'm sure it's a lot of smoke and mirrors, but it really feels like it's all over the map. They're constantly inventing goofy reasons for his girl to be riding shot gun with him. I wish they'd just drop that. They've developed really good villains this year too. I swear Frank's killing more people than ever lol. He's dropping fools left and right.
"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"
Season 2 is way better. It has way less driving scenes (which were annoying), the acting is better and the action scenes are way more entertaining. To be honest, I actually like Frank not being so non-lethal and killing more people.
