Viewers became captivated while watching the second season. An IMDb user said:

"This show was based on an excellent French/Belgian show that just ended. I had high hopes for this version. The first season was good, not great but good. As season 2 advanced it has gotten worse and worse. This last episode of the first half of its ridiculously short season was hardly worth watching. I fast forwarded through several scenes that either made my skin crawl or were just plain boring."

Other actors who appeared in this episode are Daniel Sunjata, Steve Howey, Judy Reyes, Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
