And these families span from Europe to China. The 13 bloodlines are said to have connections to wealth and power that are simply unimaginable. These are families that have a hold in almost every sphere of life, be it politics, business or entertainment. Without a climactic event to drive the story, it ambles around aimlessly.This is about the fascinating conspiracy theory that claims these most powerful families in the world own 99% of the wealth, leaving 1% for the rest of the world to fight over. That's mostly what happens this season: the characters just kind of do things, whether they make sense or not. Even when directly asked by another character, he can't explain them in any detail. His political motivations, which make up a big part of this season, are unclear. The main character, John, whose job was a big focus of the first season, doesn't actually do any work.

I hope the writers look backwards and give us more of the Rayburn's story. It left each character where I might be willing to believe they were destined, but I want at least one more season. I was only upset that there were just 10 episodes, not 13. I feel like I really know these people, and I want to know what they are going to do next! It's a Shakespearean tragedy. What happened was character development of the kind that it too rare on television. I don't agree at all that any of the episodes were a chore to sit through, and that nothing really happened in Season 2.
