DRAMA
Season 2 of this terrorist thriller is more of a sprint, with eight hours across eight consecutive nights. Agent Darwyn Al-Sayeed (Michael Ealy), having saved L.A. from a stadium attack in season 1, is infiltrating a new cell, sniffing out a new plot. Mastermind Faris al-Farik (Oded Fehr) is behind bars, being tortured—but poised to strike back. The quickened pulse is a plus: The violence registers as sharp, stinging slaps.
