The Alienist episode 2 preview: What’s next for Dakota Fanning series?

Where will the story for Dakota Fanning and the rest of the cast go on The Alienist episode 2? It feels fair to say at present that expectations are high. This drama series may be one of the most ambitious that we’ve seen TNT put on the air in years. It’s a historical drama with a serial-killer component and it’s got an outstanding cast at the center of it — including Dakota Fanning. She’s going to be the main draw for many people out there and we have a hard time thinking that the network’s going to be altogether upset over that. All they really want to know for sure is that there are viewers watching the show and, in this case, it’s almost certain that there is.

In the Alienist episode 2 synopsis that CarterMatt has below you can see some more information as to what’s coming up next week — the investigation is now underway, but the challenge remains finding the best way to use some of the evidence in order to find a proper solution to the problem plaguing the team:

The investigation heats up as Sara (Dakota Fanning) gets her hands on a clue and Kreizler (Daniel Brühl) tries to connect the evidence left behind by the serial killer. Tensions rise within the police department. Kreizler takes Moore (Luke Evans), Sara, Marcus (Douglas Smith) and Lucius (Matthew Shear) to Delmonico’s in New York and informs them they are going to be working together as a team to catch the killer.

Even though we’re jumping back a good hundred-plus years in time, the gathering of many of the main characters in Delmonico’s is a reminder that this series resonates very well with many modern cop dramas. After all, those shows are often still about people from varying walks of life finding a way to work together no matter the obstacles thrown at them … and there are going to be many obstacles coming.
