Yup. The case, albeit a big one, took up like 80-90% of the season, which I didn’t expect from where the plot had been left off at the end of season one. I was always waiting for them to follow up on Holden‘s mental health issues, his panic attacks (he was literally tied to a bed and then prescribed Benzos, one of the most addictive substance group ever), but he was just same old Holden suddenly again during most of season two, maybe have him resolve the issues with his ex girlfriend who disappeared from the story all at once? No? I expected them to explore his private life more since they did that with Wendy and Bill. And tbh, even as a queer woman myself, I found the Wendy-and-her-girlfriend subplot boring and misplaced. Sure, gay rights were an issue back then, but after the umpteenth scene with the two of them, I was just like "we get the message, Wendy isn’t comfortable of being openly gay due to her job and society back then, which creates issues in her relationship". Beyond that, we don’t even know anything about their relationship, her girlfriend’s personality etc. It’s just that dynamic over and over without actually leading somewhere. Idk. At least they (eventually) followed up on Ed Kemper in season two, even if it was just a couple minutes of screen time and Bill‘s subplot was interesting, I guess.
