He wasn't.
Yet, he's breaking open this case against his friends? He went from being John's understudy and being pissed that the sheriff is using him for political motivation to in one episode changing everything and they really didn't show any ground breaking evidence. The writing was bad for it. It doesn't show Marco's motivation. But if he's that strong against them all of a sudden, he could still tell Kevin to "come in his office and make a confession and he'd see what he can do". You don't just say frick off. I understand they wanted to get to Kevin killing him but it was a bad way of doing it.
ETA: and as mentioned, it wasn't just this part. There were many things that weren't reality in this world. Meg is a lawyer and is smart and when her ex asks her the name of the guy she's banging the night she says he was there, she just tells him full name and doesn't think the cop will look? It was bad writing. It doesn't mean the whole show was bad but there was stuff that I found myself getting riled up about and it was because it was so dumb and wouldn't have happened. It was the writers fricking with the viewer or it was lazy writing.

He knew O'Bannon claimed to have found a neckalce with a seahorse. It was the reason Marco went to the school and questioned the daughter about it. Of course all she would have to say, in order to save her father, is that it is not the same necklace.
If Marco had told Meg and Kevin he wanted them on record and they should meet him at the sheriff's office then that would make sense. Telling them to stuff it when O'Bannon was his only source was foolish.

This. Add to that he's got extra stress on him with the investigation into his previous dealings with the sheriff... Who knows what he's thinking. He does know meg lied to him and she hurt him personally so he doesnt want to give her the chance to dig herself out of it. He's fed up with Rayburn shenanigans at this point

So tell us when this kicked in? Was it the episode when he was mad and calling out the sheriff for using him in politics or was it the next one when he was suddenly like a dog going after a bone? What caused this switch and "stress"?

But that had been resolved prior to Kevin showing up at his door. I understand Marco not wanting to speak to Kevin at his home but I do not understand how Marco did not set up a follow up interview with kevin and Meg. It doesn't make sense.

Maybe this will help, SEE what was going on.

We're suppose to accept Marco went from being a Rayburn apologist to wanting to destroy the entire family without much in the way of explanation for his conversion.
But let's say his new found hatred for the family is genuine. He has Kevin and Meg telling him they want to confess their participation in the events and rather than bringing them in and allowing them to implicate themselves marco says, " naw that's too easy. I want to do this the hard way."

I understand that part but Marco had rebounded nicely with his new chick.

She was just table bait.
Posted on 6/5/16 at 2:52 pm to StickD
I would have swallowed that bait along with the hook and the sinker. I actually saw her as an upgrade from Meg.

Just finished. I enjoyed the second season. And for as much as I kept thinking Kevin was a dumbass, I kept liking him more.

Exactly. Marco wouldn't have even let him in and that would have been the smart play if he didn't want to talk.

John Leguizamo delivered and knocked it out of the park.

I thought Marco's motivation for taking down the Rayburn family would be them leaking the info of him covering for the sheriff and the domestic violence incident
Posted on 6/5/16 at 8:05 pm to LeviGarrett
They didn't leak the info until he was full fledged going after them and telling them he was.

One of the things I found perplexing was John's sudden inability to figure out a solution. Even Kevin and Meg seemed to be at a loss when John couldn't come up with a plan.
Spoilers
When John read Marco's report and saw where O'Bannon was claiming to have found the daughter's necklace, all John had to do was drive to any gift shop in the keys and purchase the same necklace. Then return home and pass it off as the one he took away and give it to the daughter as a peace offering. It would immediately nullify any necklace O'Bannon has in his possession.
That seemed like a rather easy way out and one John, who has been a conniver the entire series, should have come up with. That necklace is only valuable to the case if Marco can prove it's the same one Danny gave to the daughter. Which, btw, he would never be able to do. Marco didn't have much and John should have been experienced enough to know that necklace was not evidence of his participation in Danny's death. Instead they have John freaking out and kidnapping O'Bannon and then running away.

Okay, my take on Season 2.
Let me first start out by saying that I've enjoyed the 2 seasons a lot and my criticisms are minor. Okay...
Just like in Season 1, by the 7th or 8th episode, I grow tired of all of it and just want to stop watching. But I don't. I do think that the seasons are too long. 8 episodes would be about right. The pacing gets unnecessarily slow at points.
They are very inconsistent with Meg. She gets a job offer early in Season 1 because she has impressed a bunch of big wigs from New York. And yet she makes stupid decisions, like telling Marco the name of the guy she was nailing. Or she doesn't tell Leguizamo that she will call the police if he doesn't leave the campaign office. Little things like that.
Okay, Kevin. At the start of season 1, he's a fairly successful boatyard owner. The guy has gone through 40 years of life without major issues, and suddenly he's an addict/alcoholic moron who pisses himself when the wind blows. They should have given him a backstory with issues to justify his current actions. Great acting, though.
Why didn't John go blow up on the Sheriff's ex after he learned she retracted her story? Who got to her? Will we get an explanation in Season 3? Internal Affairs wouldn't have just given up after a witness turned a 180. There is still a 911 call, photos, etc. IA would have dug deeper before just tossing in the towel.
I like what the show is doing with Danny's son. He's was spiteful little prick, but has developed into a likable character.
I thought the big fight between the 3 siblings was a good scene. With all the pressures on each of them, it was natural for a big blowout to happen.
Had John just removed himself from the Sheriff race, the only issues would be Leguizamo and the kid/his mother.
I love the addition of the Bridges' character. Good stuff.
I'm curious how they are going to drag this out for 10 more episodes. Are they planning on having a major murder every season and just keep stringing this thing alone?

I'll never understand how John believes he can run in a Sheriffs race after Lowery let's him hear the Danny tapes. I mean, who the hell would have the balls to even try to run for office?

And who knows how many copies of those tapes are out there.
Danny was a real asshat for making that recording. Such a shitty family.

There are just too many "WTF" type scenarios like the one you pointed out here for me. Suspension of disbelief was shattered early in this season for me. Between the pacing and multiple things like this just made for a really average TV watching experience. First season was good, second not so much.
