Season 2 is my favourite, i think. I admit that i generally prefer 'monster of the week' in tv series in general. Sure, have a story arc, but let it stew, don't have it dominate the series. It's why i like The Mentalist so much (so far anyway, i've only seen the first 4 series). It's got the Red John storyline still in the background, but it basically only directly affects the show for 4 or 5 episodes per season, the rest are 'monster (murder) of the week' episodes. It's also why i dislike shows like Arrow, which is basically a soap opera.
