    Dramatic Improvement!, 2008-08-31
I ended my review of the First Season of "The 4400" with hopes that things would start to improve. I said, "While this short season is extremely flawed, it's also entertaining television... (Many) aspects of it still make it a good show, but the acting, writing, and use of music needs to improve a considerable amount before this can be a show that I can truly appreciate."
br /
br /So it pretty much comes down to three things. Did the acting, writing, and use of music improve a considerable amount?
br /
br /ACTING
br /Having watched this season in full, I'm looking back at my review for the previous season, and am shocked that I said "Patrick Flueger as Shawn is simply awful." And then, it was true, which makes his acting in this season that much more impressive. He rises from the weak link of the cast to arguably the best, giving emotional and raw performances that really sell the character in a way that the first season never did. I even got misty eyed, due to his evocative and heart-wrenching performance in the final two episodes of the season. The entire cast really steps it up, which really helped in elevating this show from "meh" to something I truly look forward to watching.
br /
br /USE OF MUSIC
br /Much better. Insanely huge improvement. It seemed that each episode of the first season was scored by "Now That's What I Call Music," what with every emotional scene backed up with a popular song. It really ripped me out of the episode. That is not at all an issue in this season.
br /
br /WRITING
br /Again, much better. Risks are taken, especially as the larger story arc of the season begins to develop, and the writers implement Lostesque twists to keep viewers on their toes. There are a few weak efforts, especially in the earlier episodes of the season, but by the time the episodes start being less-standalone and more vital to the overall series arc, things really get moving in a nice way. Don't get me wrong, the standalones are good too--and some of them, such as the completely stellar "Suffer The Children," are great--but the writers seem to feel more at home with the episodes that move the overall plot of the season forward.

    Not as good as season 1!!, 2008-07-04
This season fell short, in my opinion, of number 1. There was less action, suspense, even the storylines seemed to dwindle.
br /I wanted to see more of the 4400's powers, but what little powers they showed, they werent as impressive as in the previous season, although there is a reason for that, which I wont give away.
br /Yet although season 2 fell short, I still love the show, and will continue to watch it.
