A bit of letdown for me. The plot seemed to be treading water, and I’m almost certain I’ve figured out who the “unexpected” villain is behind all the chaos. In the first season, the creators kept me guessing until the final episode. This time, they’ve shown their hand too soon. If I’m wrong, I’ll gladly admit it, but I doubt that.

Harry's forest adventure didn’t really grab me — probably because I’m not as passionate about ecology as he is. Still, I'm sticking with a four-star rating and looking forward to more great story development.

The story is starting to twist intriguingly, and once again, the past and present complement each other beautifully, keeping the plot engaging in both timelines. The latest developments have thickened the atmosphere nicely, and it was just shy of earning that fifth star. 4*+

The plot continued to unfold nicely, the pacing was just right, and the strong atmosphere held up. Bill Pullman was as entertaining as ever. However, I can’t shake the feeling that Carrie Coon and Natalie Paul haven’t quite filled Jessica Biel's shoes.

The second season’s start didn't reach the heights of the first episode of season one, but it still had that appropriately tense atmosphere. The story grabbed me right away, and I’m excited to see how everything will get tangled up before it all unravels. I also have to commend the creators for their approach to diversity. With Heather Novack, they quickly ticked off three boxes: woman, Black, and lesbian. Bravo, it reminded me of the clever girl in the fairy tale. 4*+

There aren't many series that I’ve enjoyed like this one. The creators managed to keep up a great atmosphere all along, especially in the first and seventh episode, both of which also had amazing suspense, which was the only thing missing in the rest of the episodes. Bill Pullman's performance greatly improved the quality of the series. He was totally convincing as Lieutenant Harry Ambrose, and not for a moment did I doubt he was a real person. 4*+

I decided to bump up the rating because I realized I’d been a bit too harsh on the series at times. This show, which kept me engaged throughout, definitely deserved a more generous rating from me.

A perfect episode. It focused almost entirely on the past, but unlike other shows, this wasn’t a stalling tactic — instead, it finally cleared up everything I was confused about. The creators did a great job keeping the mystery alive, which I really appreciate. In other shows, everything becomes obvious much sooner.

To be honest, the whole trip from the prison to the club, where suddenly "hospitality" was the only word anyone knew, left me a bit confused. But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. I especially appreciated the deeper look into the life of the troubled Detective Ambrose — Bill Pullman was fantastic as always.

After the clues and Cora's memories led Harry to the hunting club, the atmosphere definitely thickened. The creators did a great job interweaving scenes from the present and the past. While this episode didn’t hit me as hard as the pilot, it still deserves an extra half-star compared to the previous three. 4*+
