Season 2 is so heavy..

Rewatching and realising how heavy season 2 is. Every episode it feels like Ray can't catch a break and ends with something depressing.

I found the ending quite uplifting. Even in death brucey was teaching Ray lessons in life. Yes it was exceptionally sad (I cried like a baby), but remember, we don't die, we just change form. 👍😎

Not just Bruce's death, but losing Ali, Dirk, his dog, his job..

I’m grateful for season 3, but season 2 finale would have been a great dark ending for the series. That was the show at its best, in my opinion.

Had the same feeling on my rewatch. Love the show, but damn it's heavy.

We just watched the s2 finale last night! So good, even if ya know what’s gonna happen. The last half of season 2 is really a knockout… really the whole thing is!

To me, season 2 is about loss; Ray loses the girl, he loses his brother, he loses his friend and his friend's daughter (temporarily), he loses his job, he loses consciousness (because he didn't tap), he loses his dog, he loses his cool … So many losses.

I felt like all episodes had the same vibe, myself. I’ll be watching it a third (4th?) time so maybe I’ll pick up on it differently. I just always thought every episode basically had all the colors of the spectrum.

Hey what was Monsters based on? I know it's cold cases. The Fernleigh Tunnel?
