Someone wrote exactly what I was thinking. Mackie just is not good in this role. Joel Kinnanman was fantastic in season 1. These are starrymndate's words:
I thought we would see Ortega and Riker unite. Riker meeting Kovac with a fulfilling ending or passing of a baton. I don't know why Kovac would not do anything for 30 years ... what has he been doing in that time ?!
Was hopeful for Mackie but now I see Netflix is riding the marvel train when they should have been strong on their own and relied on amazing actors, especially those unknown with amazing talent. Mackie was not believable as Kovac... he was just an actor doing his darnest to be Kovac, but there wasn't a trace of Kovac that was beautifully portrayed seamlessly and convincingly between Joel and Will.
Stopped middle of episode 2 , I don't really know what happened nor do I care... The plot has left me disappointed but maybe something or someone can conceive me
Ill just rewatch season 1 for the 4th time now :) Or read the book
