The Break (2016–2018)
6/10
Season 2

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers! . . . . . . I really liked season 1 for the most part, but season 2 has the same issues. Mainly no one talks to each other. Everyone seems to have a crucial bit of information that they've had opportunity since episode 1 to relate. But do they? Nope. Then we have Yoann's uncanny knack for getting people (indirectly) murdered (and this time, more than one body). Subplots are totally dropped. His daughter and the pot hippies disappear completely a little over halfway through. The comic relief couple, who murder two people, drive off in their new RV never to refered to again (neither are the people they murdered discussed).

Yoann is clearly over the edge again, and none of the cops even do the simple things of tossing him in a cell to make him sleep.

There's the Sixth Sense couple (utterly ridiculous) who also disappear. The art lady who cleans out dead lady's bank, is never referred to again. Marjo, who showed promise in season 1, is just as dumb or dumber in season 2. So many opportunities for her to blow this case wide open, yet keeps her trap shut because she's Inna relationship with a buffoon she obviously has no respect for as an officer of the law. I spent half the time yelling at my screen.

It's produced well, and acted well, but instead of stretching this out for 10 episodes, they should've made a tight 6 and cut out the ridiculous padding.
