They could have left it there and I would have been fine with the weird Sopranos-like ending.
I would assume we'll open Season Two with her grabbing the kid and leaping off the plane, back into the rain. . . . and I might further assume the secondary male detective won't be the killer after all.
We'll see.

So, after the first season, is this something I should pick up on DVD or iTunes or something and start watching? I always meant to start PVRing it but never got around to it.

From other forums, the series isn't as slow if you have more than one episode to watch at a time. I think I enjoyed it. If you are a fan of police dramas you could give it a whirl...

It was possibly the most frustrating show I've ever watched, and yet for some reason I'm going to watch season two.

Not me. I am not watchng or reading about this show. I no longer care who killed her. I was so angry with the crap they pulled last season. None of the charactors are compelling. It is bad tv. If it was network it would have been canceled mid season.
I think the only reason it is back is that people have been brain washed into believing that these premium cable shows are inherently better than network, that and AMC blew their budget on Madmen and Breaking Bad.
Just seeing this thread made me feel the anger again that i have for this show. There is plenty of other mediocre serial dramas that are far less frusterating. Why anyone woulf comeback for round two is beyond me.
For those still watching if you would have found out who the killer was last season would you have come back to watch this season?

Yeah, probably because it would have meant they somehow introduced a new storyline. I'm certainly not jazzed up for the premiere, but I want to know what happened. But yeah, if it isn't revealed this year, I'll snap.

This is an intriguing mystery that gets more complex by the episode. I thought it was a pretty solid premiere.
I get the frustration about how last season finished, but there's still some compelling stories to be told here. This murder is clearly not just a random who done it. There's a lot more to be told here and I for one, am interested to see how it plays out.

No one is brain washed. Cable is better than network, it's just a fact. You can do more on cable, there's better actors on cable. There's better writers an better show runners on cable. You think Martin Scorcese would be involved with Boardwalk Empire if it were on ABC? Do you think Game of Thrones would be better on Fox?
Not everything on cable is a home run, the killing is fine, it's not amazing but I'll take it over any of the CSI's or whatever isolated episode murder mystery show on network.
Breaking Bad, Mad men, boardwalk empire, homeland are just better shows than anything network can provide. It's not even close and there is no brain washing.

I feel sort of compelled to continue watching since I watched season 1, but season 2 appears to be just as meh as season 1. There is nothing particularly likeable about any of the characters. I don't really give a crap if the polititian (either of them) are killed, the main character could get run over by a bus, her son could be killed in a gangland shooting, the other cop could OD on draino, the father of the dead girl could be crushed under a moving truck, the mom (who is awol) could be found in the trunk of a car, the aunt could be captured by a white slavery ring, and the other two kids could be sold to a Mexican burro show.... and it would still be a big meh.
The more I watch the more I'm convinced Rosie (or whatever her name was) killed herself to escape this city that is seemingly filled with boring, useless people.

I kind of understand what you mean - but I find myself intrigued by lead role. She's a horribly flawed character whose willing to be a bad mother, g/f, and friend to fulfil her need to work. I think that's a pretty intriguing character.
I haven't had a chance to watch s02e01 but I'm looking forward to it. I still don't see a better option on Network television to be honest. Unless I'm missing a real gem somewhere?

I was thinking of checking it out again last night, but looking at the episode synopsis reminded me of some of the characters and how much I just don't care about them. So I stopped myself.
Sucks that they axed Rubicon yet left this one.

I found Rubicon to be ridiculously convoluted.
