The first season had me hooked. It was a decades, old mystery, combined with modern murder and disappearances. Many people were not who they seemed to be. Small towns have a lot of dark secrets. As much as season one grabbed me, season two turned me off. They decided to do the whole drug angle and blaming it on the foreigners with more big city interaction at a drug squad. This plot has been done to death on show after show after show. The Muslim culture was a part of season one but it is the focus in season two. There are all the traditional conflicts about women wearing scarves and dressing appropriately and men being traditional men. Again these topics have been done to death. Season three finally got back to what season one was. Wilder is once again investigating murder and mystery in a small, remote town. This is where the series shines. Not many people know what life is like in a remote, Swiss village, and have not traditionally seen it on the screen. Season two was so bad I actually fast forwarded through most of it so don't give up it does get better once again with season three.
