Watch season one and stop.
First season was interesting, nice ideas, refreshing comedy based around IT and gaming, a developing detective story and sweet love. Second season has lost it all, rehashed ideas, repeated jokes and cliched sitcom humour, the detective story has largely disappeared and the love story has devolved into teen level childish angst / romance. The second series is dull, bland and simplistic, a waste of an idea and solid foundation thrown away by inept and clumsy writing.
Watch season one and leave it there.

A shining triumph of social acceptability
I don't believe there are any spoilers in this review, the producers of this show have managed that themselves.
After eagerly awaiting the TV adaptation of Alan Moores intelligent, inciteful examination of 'real' super heroes and societal breakdown, the disappointment of US TV drama has struck again. It seems that the entire premise of the story has apparently been dropped in favour of yet another tale of common racist bigotry. I have no objections to this, except for the innumerable times it has been done before and the blatant disregard of the more pertinent and rarely examined themes of the comic and, to a lesser extent, the film. It appears that we are in for yet another yawn fest of a female lead, inexplicably able to beat down opponents twice her size while having next to no physical attributes more than a cute halloween mask (similar to Robin of Batman fame), a fetching 'little black riding hood,' cloak and a teenagers body. I'm expecting lesbians and gay men to make an appearance in the coming episodes, all of whom will be valiantly aligned against the racists. (Choose your own socially acceptable cliche and insert here). I shall watch up to episode four in the likely vain hope that the writing 'genius' who gave us the interesting premise of Lost, but delivered the tedius monotony of that show has had some sort of epiphany and acquired a modicum of talent, unlikely, I know, but sometimes hope is all we have.
