great first season, not so good second

The first season was brilliant in my opinion. It was very exciting and it was different from what I've seen so far. The second season was mostly irritating. The American president has disappeared. The super intelligent psychologist finds the place where she is held captive and goes there on her own. Why?? She leaves her cell phone behind and she doesn't even notice it. Then when she finds the president, the president refuses to ask for help because she doesn't trust anyone. This is a plausible explanation according to the psychologist, so she doesn't even think about notifying her husband, who is a policeman and she just stays with the president in an abandoned industrial area. In the end, after they spent about 2 days at this lovely environment, the psychologist gets in contact with a doctor and after she too arrives, they still remain where they are, instead of calling the police. This whole concept I found very irritating especially because the husband of the psychologist was a sort of model husband I think almost everyone could wish for (maybe not everyone is attracted to his appearance, but that is subjective anyway, but his character traits were appealing - I know this is subjective too). And the final solution is also a bit whacky but I don't want to reveal everything from the second series. All in all it wasn't bad, only the first season was a whole lot better.
