I just finished it, and thought it was pretty good. Not as good as season 1, but still pretty good. I did miss having Cathy around, as Jack and Cathy's relationship (and family) is a constant throughout the books. Jack immediately sleeping with the girl with the dragon tattoo was kind of off-putting. Cathy never even came up, and he didn't even hesitate to frick her, even though it was clear she was following him and he's CIA. I thought it was odd that a US Senator can be assassinated in a foreign country, and the show never presented any evidence that the world was outraged. But the minute US soldiers are proven to be there, suddenly it's international condemnation time. Can you imagine what would happen if a Senator got killed in Venezuela today? I know the show's Venezuela and the real world country are very different (I think they missed an opportunity there), but it would be a pretty big deal.

Can we post spoilers because I have a question.

Spoilers below

I guess it really wasn’t John Clark since who we thought was his character ends up dying this season. What do others think?

I stopped watching here. We spent all that character development time in season one between Jack and Cathy and he fricks some Venezuelan whore in the first 30 mins of season two? Can someone come in here and reassure me that it gets better? Because between the infidelity and the gross mischaracterization of “nationalist” versus the “socialist” situation in Venezuela, makes it hard for me to continue.

ETA: I mean why did they bother with the whole “I have a moral dilemma with the Turkish sex trafficker” deal and then frick the first piece of pussy he sees outside of his relationship. frick.
