Is S2 better ? That's a difficult question as both seasons were excellent IMHO. S2 is definitely different, mainly in that there was more screen time devoted to character development.

Does S2 have more "action" ? I'd say no, there's slightly less, again due to the emphasis on character development. BUT ... when there is "action", you can rest assured all hell breaks loose !

Finally, Episode 3 of S2, 'The Nightcomers', is worth the price of admission alone. This episode truly defines Vanessa from past to present, and most importantly, for the future.
