Agreed that the entire series in not great by any means, but season 1 was far better than 2. No matter how many flaws S01 had of its own, it kept me hooked to the screen bcoz eventually Mira was the only hostage who was allowed to leave the house bcoz she's a doctor and she's been chosen by Prithvi for the job.
Season 1 could've actually ended by killing the CM in the last episode thereby wrapping up the entire series. But nope they came up with S02.
The people who were supposed to leave for Nepal, take shelter in an old dilapidated house and the hostage scenario for the entire season is set up. It felt dragging at several times, though actors like Ronit Roy, Kanwaljit Singh, Divya Dutta and (to some extent) Sachin Khurana, did their best, the plot didn't support their efforts at all.
Characters of Shibani Dandekar & Dino Morea felt really useless (though it was good to see Dino back on screen) as the reasoning of their union as well as whatever those GI & LC was, it felt really stupid. A good actress like Shilpa Shukla was also wasted (she appeared in 2-3 episodes only I guess).
S02 had more flaws than S01 and it's only the acting of Ronit Roy which makes the S02 watchable.
I hope they do not come back with a S03 even if they're thinking or if a S03 exists of the original Israeli series, this series should end with the death of Ronit Roy's character.
