I'm a few episodes into season two. My take on some of the characters: I totally disagree WRT Darlene, her character is cold and ruthless but the actress, to me, plays it more frantic and scared and it creates a weird imbalance, at least to me. Are you scared or are you a heartless monster? Both may be fine, but it comes off as weird to me.
Ruth is awesome, she's grown as the show has gone on and you get a great sense of who she is as a person, it's a fantastic character played well by a good actress. Ditto Bateman's role. Linney/Wendy is too inconsistent, as someone else said, it's hard to believe her character but Linney is great per usual. I love Buddy, he's just so believable and real. Jonah and Charlotte just don't do it, I don't think they got the best actors for those roles but they're kinda just there, which is disappointing because you could do so much with the whole family dynamic of this laundering enterprise. Del was awesome, he dripped cartel power. Loving the new lawyer so far. Rachel, i liked her in the beginning but it's weird what they've done with her and now i'm fairly ambivalent, trying to figure her out. The FBI guy is just weird...between him and the heroin-trade-on-a-bible-boat storyline there's some weird stuff in this show but I'm hooked, it's generally very entertaining and unpredictable.
