S2 is definitely picking up the pace. Though Parth's / Manik's absence is strongly felt throughout, these guys are doing a good job of covering it up for many of us. The disappointment which was felt in the initial phase has begun to lighten up and the mysterious air in the show keeps us glued. From how I see it, Parth's re-entry (which seems very unlikely) though very much anticipated, may not work as expected. His premature exit from the show did leave a huge dent in many of us and it might take a while to let it sink in again. But definitely it would be a treat if he ever changes his mind. As of now, S2 cast and crew are doing well. They are keeping us pacified. Coming to Maddy, he has definitely begun to singe the screen.
