It falls short of Season 1. The chemistry between the actors in Season 1 was amazing. The actor replacing Lin Tao is awful - there is no real acting but a lot of shallow pretending. And the actor replacing the originial Dr. Qin - was awfully awkward, stiff and cannot live up to the original spot on acting - which was a medical genius that is plagued by OCD behaviour and is aware of it; likes detailed perfection (shown in his suit tailing skills and fashion sense); is eccentric in behaviour and will always have a quirky sense of humour and will always act humanely. The acting of the new assistant Medical Examiner in Season 2 was horrible, shrill and silly - she ends up rushing to the interrogation room to scream and shout at a suspect? My conclusion? Plot-wise good but acting is awful and pales in comparison to the actors in Season 1. I think watching the latest "Talking Bones" is much better! Entertainment-wise ok but not gripping for me.
