Season 2 starts with the Shultz family's pastor, fellow Christian John Pilgrim, on contract to kill a young girl, Amy Bendix. Pilgrim Progressed from a white supremacist Nazi with assassin training, to pastoral care, a family man, back to being an assassin. The name Pilgrim probably comes from the Christian book Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. To add to how contrived this season is, Frank just happens to be in the right place at the right time.
Due to trauma, Billy Russo is confused, doesn't know why his "friend" Frank is trying to kill him. Amy spent a short time borrowing the laptop at a computer store to figure out what Billy did to Frank. The news clips explain it all. Billy is depicted as tortured, desperately wanting to understand his past yet he, nor his psychologist or anyone can be bothered to spend 2 mins on Google, as Amy did, to look at the same news clips to figure it out. Poor Billy. Lame!
To make things worse, the writers go out of their way to depict the powerful and corrupt Schultz family as typical American Christians in surreal scenes as they talk at a pulpit after the pastor preached about miraculous healing depicting parishioners as "low IQ" and desperate as possible. To drive home the point, Amy mentions how the alt-right web sites support Schutz family's ambitions, tying Christianity ( again) to Nazi white-supremacists as if they are natural allies. Oh! must you bring the American polarizing culture war to an already bad start you propagandizing self-righteous know-it-alls!?
2 out of respect for the first season.
