Shadow and Bone first season was great and so I got high hopes for season 2 and it did not disappoint.
The newly introduced characters are all good and do their job good.
To me the only downside of this season is that it is only 8 episodes and you start to see that in some series this really hurts the show in that things are rushed or certain backstories aren't told or also rushed.
Especially the last episode felt a lot like they needed to add a lot of scenes to skip timelines and put the story in play for next season.
I don't know if the show has the freedom to do more episodes or that it is something that is forced by Netflix but I do wonder if the show would be even better if it had for example 10 or 12 episodes a season.

When I first read about this series I thought directly about Jack Ryan as it seems to be a somewhat similar story where instead of being an analyst he is a jurist.
The show is easy to watch and characters all have their own uniqueness and also good they give it time to show some backstory already and cannot wait to see how it would develop if and when season two comes.
Also how his friends stay in the story is written good and could use a bit more depth into exploring their backgrounds.
The only downside I have with this show but is getting more and more common is that it has only 8 episodes, which for me is on the short end as things often get rushed while if it would have for example 10 episodes you could focus a bit more on important things and not shorten them so much.
