The second season of "Mystery Road" is not as good as the first, for the following reasons: 1) Jay is too gratuitously cantankerous, much more so than in the first season, 2) the main plot is hard to follow, 3) they try to tell too many stories at once, and 4) instead of intersecting stories, the parallel subplots are only marginally related. Still, second-rate Mystery Road is still better than first-rate a lot of other shows. Aaron Pederson has genuine star quality. Jada Alberts is terrific as another aboriginal law enforcement officer. It was a bit disappointing (also) not to see. Madeleine Madden as Crystal, who was mentioned but not present. Instead, we get Tasia Zalar, whose character, Shevorne Shields, is only slightly less of an imbecile in the second season than she was in the first.
