I keep thinking season 2 might be more interesting with twists and turns about the murder and her family, otherwise why would an actor like Rich Sommer take such a minor role?

I'm not seeing anything online saying there won't be another season, but I would have been more satisfied if it was a one season series with them getting to LA and Ruby telling Billy they were over having completed their promise to one another of meeting at Grand Central Station in NY and traveling across the country by train. A complete blindside of Billy rather than blindsiding Ruby the way it was written.

Not crazy about this one overall. I've found no likeable characters among them.

It seemed he tried to explain it as she was standing on the street corner, but I guess it was too late.
Yeah, I would have made Billy's taped deceit much stronger and more heartless to have it make a bigger impact. He always came off as a d-bag anyway...he's a charlatan motivational speaker anyway! (not really believable, he seems like an emo/frat-boy combo who hasn't really grown up 20 years later).

He did ask her if she was with that Billy guy. Guess we'll never know!
I am also a little confused about that. I am of the understanding that there were a couple "real" RUNs before the fake one for the book.

Laurence is an enigma, more out of neglectful writing than by design.

There was angry Laurence, prompted by Fiona's texting/phone escapades. Then the bitter version. Then the worried, semi-compassionate Laurence. We really needed more, and the show would have been better for it.

Babe throws her car keys to Laurel and says, "go home."

They're hours away from home.

Babe is singlehandedly gonna deal with a felony suspect on a train that IIRC would require the participation of other jurisdictions. Not that I would need to see all those details like in 'Midnight Run' but we needed to see something. Uhhhh, nope.

Why would they be going to LA anyway if that's where Ruby lived?

Yeah, plus a civilian isn't allowed to drive a police car. Period. Babe would know that. Except she's useless as a cop.
