Fyi, just skip season 2. Season 3 is worth a watch though.

If you don’t skip season 2 it will be hard to find motivation to watch season 3. I still haven’t found it.

Season 1’s acting, tension including between 2 detectives, scenes like the continuous shot take down of drug house, and even a laugh every so often just to break the tension overcame what is basically some sick crap going on and hard to watch at times. Your viewing “palate“ needs to be cleansed every now and then watching stuff like that, but season 2 just forced you swallow your own thrown up with a cherry shaped turd on top.
