There is much comparing w MF. Let it go. Enjoy. The acting was very good and we liked the series and will continue to watch. BUT, though there were several good plot twists, Not a fan of a series that takes the season to solve. Drags on. I would like to have not seen Cross crazy mad all the time. Yes, he lost his spouse. I'm unsure about the sub plot, if it was needed, if so, maybe not another "someone's trying to kill me" theme, with more anger and angst from cross. It was cramming in a little too much.
If this seasons villans resurface in the next, we will be done. I haven't read the books. Are all the mysteries centered on Cross?
