There's a lot of expansion in this season. We get to see more of Young Bright, we get some of the Whitly family. The love interest angle is showing up out of nowhere.
Like many police related shows we have some post-BLM protest aspects. And like most things with this show it's done poorly. Absolutely horrifically. We have a black male cop reacting with shame when he should be reacting with anger or heck even an appropriate level of fear. More importantly it's a thread that means nothing to the show because no police procedural is interested in doing the work to tell that kind of story. There's talk for a few episodes about whether a court case will or will not happen until it all just fades away to the regularly scheduled programming. That said there are some slight improvements this season in story telling.
Bright makes some bad decisions regarding telling his sister about the murder last season which comes to a head in episode 7. The cases of the week come and go. Dr. Whitley is hammy enough to be enjoyable and Bellamy Young will forever be typecast as a southern woman who exudes forced class and a taste for whisky/moonshine and honestly she thrives in that role. I wish it was more interesting.
