but Polygon (a video game site) actually has some really great in-depth analysis on the episodes. First article is a scene by scene recap of S2E1 written after S2E2 aired. The writer pointed out something I missed the first time I watched: Mayor Chessani being pissed to Frank about the LA Times news story of Vinci's corruption.

Something else interesting the writer noted was that the title sequence's lyrics change each episode, like:

**Episode one**

My woman's here
My children, too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you

In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life I left behind

The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well-disguised

**Episode two**

I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried, I failed

You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them
Whom you despise

But nevermind
Nevermind
I live the life I left behind
There's truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don't know which
So nevermind

If you're interested in digging deeper, I would recommend checking these links out; definitely increased my appreciation for the show.
