In some cases when you have a season one and a season two you could just stop at season one and never watch season two and there are times when that is advisable because season two, unless well written, can ruin or disrupt season one. With this series season one ends with so many things unfinished and so somewhat abruptly that to get the full story you really have to watch season two . Because season two completes the story, II like season two just slightly better. Season 2 provides the ending of so many of the storylines, I think I am a minority opinion in this entire series because I found the band practices to be very disruptive because they were very so long. With the band practices, though the music was good most of the time it was just too much too often and disrupted the flow of the storyline for me.
I thought the cases were on balance pretty sad and energy draining even when they had good outcomes so it didn’t make it a very good experience to me. There were also so many cases going on sometimes it was hard to keep them straight with who this person was or that person was and they were gaps in time with some of the cases where they had come in much earlier and then came back later, so it could be hard to keep track of all the characters , There were unfinished plot points even at the end of season two where they had developed an idea or presented something and then you never got the follow through so you wondered why they even brought it up in the first place. I think if you’re a fan of drama and you’re OK with it being very dramatic you would likely enjoy this series. If you prefer levity and lots of comedic elements and a series that sticks to the point , then you may not like this as well. It’s worth watching it at least once because the characters are really well developed and the friend group is fun. You feel like you’re hanging out with them. . There are so many better things to watch I think watching this when you have fewer options would be how I would approach it. I would recommend it but not highly recommend it and I am unlikely to ever rewatch it.
