There's some attempts at PTSD, but it's underwhelming at best, there's no build up, no tension, no payoff (or consequence). That's basically the same for character arcs. While the story does progress, it's so slow that it could have happened in all of 3-4 episodes (instead of 10). Indeed it seems like no character grew much at all in season 2. There's some development in her behavior to 'the accident' in the 1st season, but it's entierly stagnant in the 2nd season, and the viewer is supposed to just go along with it. It's okay in the first as the viewer can see that she struggles, in the second it gets old, and it's not delivered as carefully. From that point the character doesn't grow. Perhaps most notable is the transformation of Henry from a nihilistic, bitchy, teen rebel into a nihilistic, bitchy, teen rebel. While the 1st season decently balances tension and drama, the 2nd season ramps up all the bad of the 1st, and dampens the good.
