I wish they could have explored the characters a little more deeply in S2. The Berrisford Agenda was like a tease - it set up some interesting character stuff for Alec and while you could see the consequences ripple through the rest of the season, it never really satisified, imo.
Lots of character opportunities were missed for all of them to make room for cartoon baddie, silly emo viruses, and snake cults.
I didn't have much of a problem with having some bizarre transgenics. And I had been really interested in the nomlie angle since Pollo Loco. But they totally went the wrong direction with it, imo. They made all the escaped transgenics cartoonish and campy instead of treating them with the same level of seriousness they did with transgenics in S1. I think that would have cut the problem with s2 in half. That and the ongoing boredom of the virus and crazy snake people.
What worked for the show is that you could almost believe this was happening in s1. in s2, it was just another science fictiony show.
