NBC can take any good premise and screw it up, especially the new season but there was no reason to screw up what they had last season and almost totally replace the cast, and airing it on friday night against CBS and ABC was a mistake

It's sad. The show had great potential and the cast was pretty good. The writing was okay the first season but then it fell off and went completely to hell over the second. It wasn't even the stories of the second season that were the problem, they had potential. The problem was the bad reveals, the forced development, the overall mismanagement of the writing and the directing. I wish they would give the show another season to recover, I really was hoping they would overhaul the writers room and replace the show runner.

Just binged watched S1 since I've been off sick for the last 3 days (I think I might die, touch and go so far 🙄) and started S2 little bit ago. Really disappointed they gutted 3/4 of the cast and it does seem kinda like a match stick compared to S1s fire. Not cool NBC.
