I watched the premiere! I thought it was fantastic, i loved mary, marshall and stans interactions.. especially when mary and stan got in the fight and marshall ran after her..

It was a sad case this episode but a really good one, i thought all the guest stars did a great job...

What an excellent start to the season!

I was surprised to see that Mary's mother and sister were both brought back. Many second seasons show some kind of fine tuning and I totally expected at least one of them to be gone. Given the season picked up right where the last one ended, I imagine that would have been impossible. Does anyone know if the boyfriend will be back this season?

I really want to like the show, but it infuriates me so much. WHY, WHY, WHY if these victims are ever expected to be hidden from the criminals they are being protected from do they keep the same first names? Okay, I can understand the viewers would become confused with all the new names so that could be the answer to my own question - but how is it possible that the man who shot Lily from this episode, and was imprisoned for it was ever allowed to move to very same city and go into business with her? AND HOW IS IT that Mary or her colleagues, the parole board or any department in the justice system didn't have knowledge of this? I seem to recall it even being said on another episode that if a witness wanted to remain in the program all ties would have to be cut, including family members so how could this reformed criminal have been visited in prison by his victim, been released and and knowingly move to the same place his victims live? It flies in the face of everything being done for this family..... It drives me crazy!

And even though it didn't really happen in this episode but at least once last season, a witness stayed in the same high-profile line of work which landed both he and his wife's photos in the newspapers, online and in the same social circles. Isn't the premise of witness protection to assume new identities and backgrounds and just blend into a new life?

The boyfriend is back! he was in episode two and i loved at the end when Mary found out what he did.. She needs to hold on to him..

You know, i dont like to focus on the realism aspect too much, the show is really about the characters and i think they do a great job with them.. Not even just the main characters like Mary, Marshal, Stan etc. but also the weekly witnesses.. Did you see last sunday? i thought the witness, the dad, was so interesting and the character felt really fleshed out for just one episode...

Anyway im looking forward to another good one this sunday!

I did see last week's episode, and I have to say I thought it wasn't so great. It was nice to see Raf back, but that's about it. I wasn't impressed by the story, the WitSec family or Mary. It seemed too far-reaching in the storyline, and I can't help it, I am a realist - so I think realistically. I don't think any real agent would doodle a picture of a cartoon character for an adult man to ease his anxiety, they'd just tell him to man up and testify or go to jail. And what was the deal with Jinx? Did she just have jitters about performing and had a few too many drinks to calm her nerves? I don't understand why the story went in that direction. Is she being written out?

One funny thing was how Mary and Marshall were both referred to as "Marshal", which makes Mary's partner "Marshal Marshall". Never caught that before....

There was unfortunately no new episode this past weekend but i just watched the one from two sundays ago and i loved Brandi's storyline with the AA boyfriend.. I hope they stick with it, she seemed so much more mature.

Next weeks looks good, wonder what this trouble that Stan has got himself in is...

Season two makes up for season one. It felt scattered to me, but this one has better storylines and feels like it has come together. All the characters are growing.
