While the former season focused on investigating the murders of people who were relatively unknown to us, the second season is more personal, where the killer takes the lives of policemen who helped Viktor in the first season. This explicit motive adds an emotional touch to the second season. The season further stands out for a few neatly packed moments. Take the scene with the police officers searching for the white car’s owner, for instance. The cops believe that the person who committed the crime would have fled by then. But when they reach his house, the owner Lankeswaran (Prasanna), who seems to have been enjoying a good supper, casually opens the door. Lankeswaran escapes with an alibi, and the only suspect in the case walks out freely. As the murders continue, the pattern repeats – the owners of the car have either lost their car or sent it for service, which leaves the cops with little to no evidence for the most part.
Having closely followed Viktor and his investigative skills from the first season, one expects him to protect as many victims as possible. However, Prakash writes Viktor as a flawed cop. He makes several bad decisions, resulting in multiple deaths. And before you know it, Viktor loses most of his confidants. He also places his instinct on a pedestal, often costing lives.
