The final episode of season/series two wraps the storyline up nicely, and the series was overall pretty good; at least as good as the first IMHO. However, once the damning evidence is finally revealed I was left wondering why it happened in the first place?
Getting into spoiler territory: in her video K mentions that the company (sorry, forgot its name) has been doing illegal drug trials, and we're never told what the illegal part was. Drug trials are going on all the time involving thousands of people around the world, but there was no evidence the college students were being experimented on without their knowledge or consent, unless I missed it. At the very least, that shady college is guilty of immigration fraud, though if the people who died from the drug trials signed a consent form the company had nothing legally to worry about. Instead of conscripting a team of thugs to murder people, Rory's dad should've hired a bunch of lawyers to bury the story (I'm sure he had a lawyer or two on his payroll but he clearly wasn't listening to them). Without the questionable deaths, there would be no investigation, or plot for that matter.
Perhaps it was just me, but the side-story with Harry and the horse racing really dragged the pacing and main plot for me this time around. I liked the couple times Cam helped Jack out, since he's criminally underused, but leaving Harry out might've actually improved the season. We also don't really find out who called immigration on the bartender's wife. It's alleged to be related to Jack's visit to the office, since the deportation is done by the same woman, but it was likely by one of the regulars, and it was left open-ended for no particular reason... again unless I missed it.
There's a lot to like with season two, however the loose ends are my primary lingering ruminations of the whole escapade. Cheers.
