Absolutely. It's a shame the first season's pacing was such a mess, I'd imagine many people who dropped it or decided to skip the second season due to it would have enjoyed it immensely more than the first one.
People who didn't like the first season's pacing probably have had their attention spans whittled down to nothing. I loved the first season. Iwanaga is such a great protagonist and I loved the themes explored in her battles against the main antagonist and in her attempts to solve the other cases.
@Kryomaani @Ghostc1212 I actually enjoyed season one and then got bored in the first ep of s2. Does it get better?
Season 2 does get better. Episode 1 is mostly for recap purposes. The low budget for season 2 does really show during one of the arcs but if you can ignore it, then the story is great. Season 2 isn't like season 1, where there's one overarching antagonist. Instead, Iwanaga goes around solving different cases over a few multi-episode arcs. The format is basically the same though, and there's still lots of talking.
