  • Review of a Second Look

    The first season about the Mansion murders was good enough. For this Second Look season it sounds like the producers are desperate to squeeze out any remaining life out of their original content. It mostly sounds like all the content from the previous season. Any new content is not compelling at all. I mean seriously, she is going to visit the new house built on the original property to see if she feels any “heaviness”?
