If I hadn't been looking at the beginning credits of the 1st ep of season 2, I would have been totally confused that there was a completely new cast. I honestly don't know why it's even the same show. I have to assume that the shotgun dude with the crow mask at the end of ep 2 is somehow connected to the animal masks from the first season, or else these are two different shows.

So far it's cool and all, but there's no character as compelling as Rust, the urban setting isn't nearly as amazing as Louisiana, and I'm dubious that the story is going to be anywhere near as engaging as season 1. I'll give it time, but for the time being, season 1 was a mini-series and season 2 is completely unaffiliated, or else I'm just going to ruin it by comparing the two.
