Angel Bonanni (Absentia - Det. Tommy Gibbs)

I'm not able to compare both seasons yet, you'll have to give me a few more days for that.

The reason is that when I went to the season 2 premiere I practically hadn't watch Season 1. I found the first episode of the series quite dark, it left me in tears and feeling a bit sick, and I just wasn't quite motivated to keep watching. But after watching the season 2 premiere, I gave it another try. I am now in episode 8 and actually enjoying the show. Once I finish Season 1, I'll resume season 2.


Even though I've only watched the first episode of season 2, there's one general comment I can make: it is still dark. That was one of my first thoughts when watching the S2 premiere. Actually, there's even some "darkness" there that I haven't seen in Season 1 (at least not until episode 8). I'm looking forward to see the end of S1

It definitely is dark and a real departure from Castle!!  I assume series 2 will include more of the same, but I'm hoping maybe there will be a glimmer of hopefulness/happiness for Emily. Can't wait to see .... Stana is an incredible actress and the breadth of what she can do is really evident with Absentia.

I may re-watch the first series in May just to refresh my memory....or maybe I should wait until the beginning of June, though!!!!?  , so I remember it better.
