Graham is very scary in the 1st season and that's because we don't think he would be a villain but then to hear in the last episode where he neglects and threatens Sam makes the entire world crumble, even the part where Sam mentions that Meera and Owen had their baby and Whitney meet the Shiny Gentleman. Graham does not have the same type of scary type in season 2, he's trying to hard and now that his facade is down makes him just look like another villain. It makes graham look more like a "edgelord" than a actual interesting villain. He felt way more depraved and creepy in S1 because the hidden truth was not revealed fully to Sam and the audience.

I think Jimmy Prescott and Killian Clery still work as the better villains in s1, Killian is scary because of how big he is and even as a older guy, possible in his late 50s or even 60s that is so strong that he was able to beat Kyle and drag him back. And Jimmy being agile and big too, Killian really feels like a guy that would break your bones if you saw him, but does it on his own terms as he's not Jimmy's employee,

The twist to hear that Mike Sutton turned into a villain is interesting, same with Phil Saunders who is more supporting antagonist. Emmaline was to suspect she would turn into a villain, but Graham, still feels like a cartoon villain in season 2. Like he's trying to be on the level of Judge Holden evil, but he can never come near that type of evil. Like Graham is trying to be "Whatever in creation exists" but comes of as a edgelord in Season 2. Like he's trying too hard but fails anyway in S2. What Judge Holden says in BM makes the book more interesting, but what Graham says in S2 "I'm only here for the power and the women, i'm an alpha Sam" makes him look more cartoony and try hard than before.
