The second season of Numb3rs further emphasises the importance of family. The relationship between the two brothers and their father is the main point within this season and I love the uniqueness of this approach. Where a lot of other shows focus on relationships of a different intimacy, the exploration of adult familial relationships is refreshing and thoroughly enjoyable.

The second season of Numb3rs takes the idea of turning complex mathematical equations into simple layman’s terms to a whole new level. I love the overlay throughout that displays the ways in which a maths equations’ practical applications are explained. The visual and colloquial explanation of this is just one of the great ways that the series begins to find its pace.

Although this series (and season) is primarily about family and the difficulties of navigating grown sibling relations, there are a series of flirtations that start within the second season of Numb3rs. These vague and cute relationships start to trickle into the storyline and I can’t wait to see how they evolve in the next season.
