My wife couldn't remember anything about this series, either, so I found the DVDs & popped it in. Yes, we'd already watched it, so we decided to go ahead & continue into season 2.
Well, season 1 had been reasonably good, though I had a sense it was going to jump the shark. As season 2 unfolded, that feeling grew. By the middle of the season, it was clear the writers were getting desperate. I don't want to give spoilers, though it probably wouldn't make much difference. Let me just say we were both very disappointed & when it finished we concluded that they had simply run out of any ideas & were just throwing out anything to keep it alive for the allotted number of episodes.
Not impressed. The original story was good & if they'd stayed more on the main theme & drifted less into all the personal intertwinings, it might have held up better, but before it was finished it was such a mishmash of meaningless events & mysticism that the ending was a total letdown. I can only hope that the writers were caught unawares & didn't realize they weren't going to be doing a season 3, so they left it all basically unfinished.
Even if they were to come back with a season 3, I don't think I'd risk it again.
