  1. Hope there will be a second season. Vera’s connections to crime could be extremely interesting after her arrest and Noah’s relationship to his past leave much to create episodes.

  2. Excellent season 1 can’t wait for season 2 if it’s half as good as season 1 we will all be looking for a season 3 don’t let us down Netflix

  3. Yes, for season 2! Just finished the first season. Seems like they ended it at a spot that leaves a lot of room to run in subsequent seasons.
