What BollyAI Thinks
Season 2 landed Glenn Close as a CIA operative intersecting with Tamar's continued off-grid existence, a casting move that generated visibility without quite generating the dramatic heat the show needed. Critics at 83% on RT found the season entertaining but noted that the central mystery was less elegantly structured than Season 1's single mission clarity. The Tamar-in-hiding premise required the show to find new engines of tension, and it found them - the romance with an Iranian dissident, the internecine intelligence politics - but the gears showed more than before. Audiences were consistent with Season 1, and the show won the International Emmy for Best Drama.

The addition of Glenn Close signals the show's ambition but the mission clarity of S1 is somewhat diffused.
