If season 2 is about one particular theme, for me it's the power of grief. Yes season one is about grief too, but damn s2 is drowning in it.
Jinx attacking the council at the end of s1 out of grief and anger. She rarionalizes it as getting back at them for the loss of Silco.
Cait grieving her mother and seiging the undercity with the Gray. Inevitably falling to fascism and becoming a dictator
Vi grieving her past relationships and then becoming even more destructive after Cait leaves.
Hell even Sevika is greiving Silco. That's one of the reasons she teams up with Jinx, their shared grief
Jayce grieving Viktor both after the council attack and after he leaves
And then the true foot of it all, Singed. His grief is what truly started it all. Grief led him to make shimmer, just to bring his daughter(?) Back to life. It made him warp Vander into Warwick.
Grief defines the very essence of the story.
