Season 1 criticism/Season 2 hopes

I certainly don't think this is on the level of Breaking Bad, but this is probably the best show TNT has aired. An argument could be made for Animal Kingdom. Otherwise, this has all the ingredients for TNT to do what USA did with Mr. Robot. It all hinges on whether season 2 goes the route of 'Unreal' (complete combustion) or improves a la 'Justified' (which had it's own issues season 1).

In any case, I've seen some criticism regarding the route the creators took in the last few episodes. I concur in many ways but I think the 10 episode format will either help or hurt them. I think we can all agree episode 9 was a disaster. But, with a limited amount of eps, the creator/writers/showrunner will have the opportunity to correct the (IMO) small amount of mistakes and take this baby to the next level.

I am curious if they will continue to follow the narrative in the short stories. I have not read the book so I don't know how far the writers strayed & if there's anything left in that regard.

Wishes for season 2:

-Less Tiffany/Kyle
-More Christian & Estelle
-Nix Sean or improve his story
-Nix Christians family (hopefully this was done in season 1)

I would not attempt to tell the writers how to develop their story. They have a very clear vision of what they want to happen. The thing I would like to see is more realistic depiction of a con artist and or Contract Killer. These people Xavier and Letty make themselves so obvious. Every place they go they are larger than life and very memorable to anyone they've come in contact with. He had her hide her body in plastic tote in Home Depot. She chatted up the shop keeper and stole a 20,000.00 ring five minutes later. This is exactly the kind of evidence the police are looking for.

They don't operate in big cities, they're usually in small towns or fancy hotels where not much happens in a day. It would be so easy to catch them. I guess this is part of the charm of the story but to me it is just unrealistic. They need to take more precautions.

Totally agree Javier has to be the sloppiest, least "stealth" hitman I have ever seen and Letty as a thief always draws a lot of attention to herself.
