I loved the first season so much! Lots of strong female leads, intriguing plots, mystery and action. Watched the whole season on Netflix in like 3 days. Would highly recommend! I started watching the second season and it's total @#)*@, imo. It's basically like a really confusing prequel. They totally cut out Tina Majorino, Ali Larter and Amber Valletta. Like all my favorite characters gone! The squad is dead and I am mad. It is just really dark and confusing, with no sense of friendship between the characters. I'm in 3 episodes (season 2), don't know if I will finish them...Huge disappointment.

The constant switching between past and present and subtitles makes this season hard to follow. When they switch to subtitles, I have to stop what I'm doing to read what they are saying. Which makes it very frustrating if I just want to listen to the story.Not surprise so many bad reviews. If next season follows the same format, I'll move on to watch something else. There are many other good shows out there. I'm sure there are others that feel the same.Director should take notice and make change, or accept losing some views.

First season, darn good. Watching Bean play all the various characters, and play them well. Interesting FBI anti terrorist stuff etc.Then for some reason, second season went to heck. No more playing "Legend" roles. He's wandering around Europe with greasy hair looking for his past, his family, something.The constant jumping back and forth in time over 2 or 3 decades is difficult to follow. No real "action" in any of the episodes. No cliff hangers. No nuthin'. It's like the writers went on strike and the camera operators said "Ok let's film something over here and splice it in".

This show is average. Sean Bean is excellent. He is cool, smart, tough, believable. The FBI boss is good. He has an interesting fine line to walk. Ali Larter is not good. She is stiff and does not fit the character. Her scenes are hard to watch. It takes me away from the story. The story jumps around and isn't serial, yet doesn't leave you with a satisfying feeling either after many of the episodes. I like Strike Back, GoT, Longmire, Justified better than this show. I even like all the NCIS incarnations and Person of Interest over this show. Sean Bean keeps it alive, but it's not a top notch show. It's a time killer.
