So we started watching this last week having put it off for a couple of years and have binged through a season and a half. Season 1 was great. An X Files type affair but centered around the Catholic church / religion. This was straightforward and worked well as a semi serious drama and I suspect most of the good reviews on IMDB are based on this first season but season 2 takes a weird turn and the show has become a really odd and quirky mess that borders on farce. The female lead is a murderer, the male lead is almost redundant as a character, the comedy relief skeptic is dating a woman who has a supernatural twin sister and all 3 of them regularly see demons and creatures yet never mention this to each other despite what they do for a living. None of this lends to the show in a good way. The writers really changed direction and it's more of Grimm type show now for fantasy and Sci Fi fans which is a shame as the format of season one was so much better. We've stuck with it but not really sure why as it's already passed the point of plausibility. Don't even get me started on the plotline with her mother. Ridiculous.
