While I wasn't a big fan of the first season of _Kerala Crime Files_, Season 2 truly stands out. Writer Bahul Ramesh has crafted a well-threaded story with excellent character development. His signature style, previously seen with the use of monkeys in the Malayalam film _Kishkindha Kaandam_, is brilliantly applied here with dogs. The first episode, in particular, does a superb job of immediately hooking the viewer, which is crucial for a series of this kind. Although there were moments of predictability and a few plot holes, the series maintains a good pace. Towards the end, assumed plot points gain unexpected complexity, a welcome bonus that challenges the audience's intelligence rather than dulling it. And the ending, in particular, is very well done, especially those smiles, providing the viewer a satisfying conclusion. Overall, Ahammed Khabeer's _Kerala Crime Files Season 2_ is a highly engaging watch. **Note:** There is no sex or nudity, but be advised of profanity throughout the series.
