2. All The Awesome Music

Season one received considerable praise for its soundtrack, particularly the instantly viral use of Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now" for that dance scene, and season two follows its lead exceptionally well.

Though it's fair to say that the second season perhaps overdoes it slightly with the jukebox musical selections, they are for the most part a canny selection of pop-rock hits, used either for comedic effect or to spruce up an action sequence.

It's better not to spoil the music you'll hear this season - especially as a couple of them are massively unexpected - but know that the soundtrack only further enhances the show's deliriously entertaining style and tone.
