The 2nd season is not about Alienist, he has no use in this show. Instead its all about detective Sara, which would not be a bad thing, if only the whole plot wasn't forcefully bent around her and done almost laughably bad.
Everything that even seems like would be a bad thing for her, finally a struggle that could make this somewhat believable, magically turns out to be even better for her.
If You have not seen first season, watch it - its really great, but don't ruin it for you and stop at season 1.
