Transporter the series Season 2 - a long-awaited feast for the holidays!

I loved this show and was stunned it stopped but now it's back and I'm catching up on it on holidays!

 

There are apparent changes. First of all Season 1 was every episode like the last and here you feel a paced calculation and other things added typical for a TV show. First of all, he's got a new "secretary" who doesn't sit at the office but travels with him a lot.

I must admit I didn't realize at first it was a name - translates as "violent peaceful" LOL. After I did, my first thought was of Michele Placido, very popular in our country for La Piovra series, and sure enough, she's his daughter. He probably has a great sense of humour to name a girl like this LOL.

Then I was delighted to see Dieter involved more in episode 1 - he would make a great comic sidekick

but alas it was only to kill him off. To what end and who's repairing the car now I cannot fathom!

Furthermore a personal world for the Transporter is established. We get some insights into his past, friends and feelings.

 

And a lot of 'princple' jobs - either free or too dangerous or for someone... a savior complex, all in all.

This somewhat attenuates the show's brightness but the main is remaining the same. I have to say I love this Frank a lot more than Statham's because he was too grave whereas Vance has this charming and menacing smile assuring his confidence, which makes him akin to James Bond and it's a good thing for me - he's elegant and fun! They do hang a lantern on it in episode 3.

I also enjoy very much this light in Vance's eyes. There is a small percentage of people who have this quality and it's really heart warming and spirit lifting :)

The sidekick girl is fine but she's somehow attenuating Frank. Let's face it, he's not a lone wolf any more. Not sure if it's too good for the picture although surely more typical for a TV show alas.
