Numb3rs: Season 2 (Numbers)
Numb3rs is a drama about an FBI agent who recruits his mathematical-genius brother to help the Bureau solve a wide range of challenging crimes in Los Angeles. The two brothers take on the most confounding criminal cases from a very distinctive perspective. Inspired by actual cases, the series depicts how the confluence of police work and mathematics provides unexpected revelations and answers to the most perplexing criminal questions. A dedicated FBI agent, Don Eppes (Rob Morrow), couldn't be more different from his younger brother, Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz), a brilliant mathematician who, since he was little, yearned to impress his big brother. As a seasoned investigator, Don deals in hard facts and evidence, whereas Charlie, a math professor at a California university, functions in a world of mathematical probability and equations. Now, despite their disparate approaches to life, Don and Charlie are able to combine their areas of expertise and solve some killer cases.

Just as good as Season 1 - vanessam
I wasn't sure if the premise would hold, but I'm finding this season just as compelling as the first. As someone who is seriously math-phobic, I'm constantly amazed at how many different ways math can be applied.
Sure, at the beginning of every episode I have to say "look, it's the guy who played Doogie Howser's best friend...what's his name again?" but that only distracts me for a few minutes, and doesn't at all detract from the show.A Solid Piece of Television - Zelda0415
Season 2 overcomes most of the hiccoughs of its premier season and the show has comfortably grown into its own skin. The plots are unique and the endings are unexpected. The characters all contribute to the story archs in a compelling way and their deeper psyches are further developed. Season 2 sees more comparisons made between the Epps brothers rather than dwelling on their differences and it asks more psychological questions about them which makes the Epps' appeal to us as human beings. I really enjoyed this season and look forward to a third.Numb3rs season 2 - Di_Ubaldo
This season was exactly what i expected and more after viewing the first season. Character plots and family history become more apparent, making the characters really come to life. The dynamic between the brothers and their father is very close to what real life is like. The cases are still as unique and unexpected as the first season. I found that the math part of the theme has become more advanced.. though a few mistakes were made that with a few extra minutes of calculating would have been found. Overall this season was even better than the 1st. I am looking forward to what the third will have to offer.
