Nos Meandros da Lei - Série 2

During the first two episodes, I wondered for a while if the second season would be as promising, engaging and legally sophisticated as the first, but by the third episode, I knew it would be. The new season is in the same entertaining and engaging vein, with the story being gradually revealed through the presentation of new evidence, fictional witness statements and Haller's amazing legal tricks over and over I enjoyed the main murder case, the return of old characters and, most importantly, it all goes off in one breath, so I can't complain about anything and the second season is simply a hit too.

I've given the second season four stars, though I must start with some negatives. It felt like the creators leaned more into current and trendy themes compared to the first season, and I wasn't entirely thrilled with the writers' insistence on forging new paths at all costs in what was originally a very solid story. But that's the end of my criticism. Despite a slightly rocky start with the first couple of episodes, the whole affair picked up nicely for me and I found myself thoroughly enjoying it. While I did feel the previous season was a tad better, this one held its own just fine. The open-ended conclusion is a clear nod to "The Gods of Guilt," a book I happened to start reading just the other day, so I'm genuinely eager for the series' continuation. / Lesson learned: Some surprises can be lethal.
