Episodes
In the Season 2 premiere, Mayor Kane's legacy is cemented with splendid groundbreaking ceremonies for the updated airport terminals. Though the sky seems the limit for his political future, his health continues to be an issue.
Kane uses a tragedy in his personal life to further his political agenda. He also tries to heal his fractured inner circle by poaching Mona Fredricks, the senior aide of his nemesis, and hiring ambitious newcomer Ian Todd, but can they fill the void left by Stone?
Kane's increasing infatuation with his new aide Mona leads him to get swept up in her enthusiasm for a housing-redevelopment project.
Kane attempts to clean house and deep-sixes longtime political cronies, while at home, Meredith and Emma want no part of a family reunion with him.
As Kane's symptoms begin to spiral out of control and he has problems telling the difference between his hallucinations and reality, the corruption sweep endangers his political power and his hold on city council.
Kane's maneuvers with the housing project lead to looting and rioting; later, he secretly attends an alternative clinic for treatment.
The alternative treatments appear to be working and Kane takes back control of the city, but in his efforts to fix his public perception, he may have to throw an old friend under the bus.
Kane reluctantly enters an alliance with a longtime foe on City Council, but he soon realizes that more serious measures must be undertaken to stave off bankruptcy.
Chicago's bankruptcy crisis means a loss of power for Kane as emergency measures are put in place, but threats by his enemies to expose him could be of even greater concern.
In the last episode of season two, Kane's mental faculties deteriorate further, and Sentinel editor Sam Miller gets ready to break a story that will destroy him. But, unknown to Kane, Kitty represents the true threat as she decides where her loyalties lie. As the odds stack up against him, Kane is forced to reveal the unthinkable to stay on top.

Critic Reviews for Boss Season 2
All Critics (21) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (3)
The acting merits more accolades than the storylines so far.
The supporting actors are all capable, although Grammer's glower clearly is the series' tower of power.
At the heart of this drama, in every sense, is Grammer. It's worth turning on this show just to watch his performance.
Still good. Still heavy going.
The good news is that the focus is here in the second season, one that feels even more like Shakespearian drama but that justifies its self-seriousness more than in season one with fascinating characters.
Boss stands as testament both to the declamatory acting heft of Grammer, whose square head, booming expletives and rolled shirtsleeves bespeak a very male brand of executive power, and to the purchasing acumen of Channel 4.
Season 2 of Boss started off with a great deal of promise... In the end, the finale left the season with a sense of lackadaisical repetition, a shuffling of the pieces, instead of decisively pushing them forward.
...t a hardboiled, somewhat abstracted view of power relations as practiced by a varied cast of characters... while also imparting an almost Shakespearean grandeur to the proceedings.
The simple truth is that no amount of twitching is going to make Boss compelling.
Boss has earned that second chance, and while it will never be what you might call a joy ride, the journey is considerably more absorbing now.
I'm still hooked on Boss; watching Kane and his political machine proved too mesmerizing to resist.
They've done their research, fictionalizing real Chicago issues, including O'Hare expansion and public housing.
