The second season so far has brought us a tougher Liz, played very well by Megan Boone, but also a Liz who doesn't see things as black and white anymore. In the last episode she made some decisions that were on the brink of criminal activity to get the job done. The only complaint I currently have about Liz so far this season is her relationship with Red. I like the father/daughter (even if he's not the dad its still that type of caring) they displayed last season and I'm not sure I like how she now treats him as an adversary. But in her defense, her whole life did just come crashing down so she may be dealing with some trust issues. 
The new season has also given us more information about Red and almost it would seem a deeper look into his personality and character. I've really enjoyed that aspect of these last episodes. We've met an ex wife, who clearly does not love him anymore, and seen how he handles things when the pieces start to crumble around him. We've seen Red on the edge though we still don't know what he wants with Lizzie. Though it would seem his ex wife, Naomi has these answers.
The first two episodes seemed a little too chaotic for me. It was like there was too much story or too many things they wanted to throw at us and it was beginning to make me worry about where the show was going. I mean, I pay attention each week but I was getting lost in all the plots. This past Monday, I was pleasantly surprised to get the normal two story lines, if there were more I missed it completely, and was able to focus and enjoy the show much more. I still have a million questions: who's the guy at the hotel, where has Berlin gone off to, is Tom alive, who is Liz to Red, and what secret does Naomi hold that she resents Red for?
Y'all tell me what you've thought so far of the new season and any theories you may have on the show. One thing this show is very good at is starting conversations. Be back soon.
