Season one was really good - I gave it a 9/10. Season two is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. BAD writing, acting and directing. Just bad! there isn't one person in the show that you'd actually like or even root for. Here are my biggest problems... 1) It's based in Mali and as you know Mali is in Africa. The president and army guys are all black, but the rebels are middle-eastern!! They are from Mali and want independence, but they aren't black - and we're not supposed to ignore this?! 2) They speek French..and Arabic at random, so they need an interpreter to speak to the English-speaking "good guys" that also speak French.. hmmm. 3) The bad guys merge at some point with the really bad guys. We can tell this because the bad guys have changed their headgear from browns, dark red etc to bright, gay colours like fuschia, seafoam green and bright blue, meanwhile the really bad bad guys all wear black headgear so we can tell the difference. It's all very helpful cause all those middle east guys look the same with the same scowl and bad teeth and guns. 4) It's 2019, so we have to have the obligatory gay couple and the persecution it would bring. Two bad.. no REALLY bad actresses in a story arc that has no bearing in the grand scheme of things.. 5) I could go on but won't - just skip season two
