No spoilers other than the obvious set ups by the trailers...

As good as S1 but better and worse at somethings throughout the story so it kind of evens out.

We're through episode 3 and finding the storyline(s) to be extremely muddled. I'm open to this clearing up but at the moment it's very distracting.

Quote:The conflict between Russo and Castle goes A LOT DEEPER and gets a lot deeper.

The inter-connectivity amongst Castle, Russo, Mudani,  police chief guy--name escaping me now, and Page gets even more entangled.

You're reinforcing my fears here.

Quote:"The girl that needed saving" felt under and over done in some parts/points.

That's a pretty weak rationale through episode 3 and our interest is waning

Quote:The two grande thematic arcs of the story which are basically Russo's coming back from hell with his personal health issues both physically and mentally and initial sequence of events that drag Castle back into "the life" are very intriguing to see play out.

As stated above, if they can't tie these things together in a cohesive way I can't see how anyone would think S2 is as good as S1. S1 pulled you in immediately and held you all the way through.
