The first season of Mikkoku wa Utau was a watchable police internal affairs show. Season 2 is about scammer raid that fails because there is a mole in the police and it turns out that there is an internal group in the police called the Gojoukai that wants to dispense their own justice. The scammers' identities are exposed online and they are killed one by one.
Sara (Matsuoka Mashiro) and Minaguchi (Izumi Rika) have to figure out who the mole is and which members of the police are part of this Gojyoukai secret group. There is a lot more action in season 2 and Sara and Imaguchi find out that Gojyoukai have a lot to do with their story in season 1.
The elephant in the room is that the story in season 2 is bigger but they just don't have the budget to do it justice. The tailing scenes are too simple, the action scenes are abandoned warehouses, supermarkets and back alleys. They tried with the budget but you need believability and budget buys that from the audience. Like I mentioned in my review for episodes 1-3, the tailing scenes are too basic compared to Gaiji Keisatsu.
I didn't enjoy it as much as season 1. Believability took a hit for me. Maybe I didn't care too much for it in season 1 but too many abandoned buildings and while there is technical more action, they aren't every good. I don't think I will ever watch Mikkoku wa Utau again and at 2gb per episode, I think I should delete the two seasons. Meh from me.
