Helix continues to tell an increasingly implausible and unconvincing sci-fi tale. Surely this won't return for season 3?
This review contains spoilers.
2.10 Mother
What with some of the weird things said by characters in recent episodes, and a general malaise overtaking what narrative does exist, I’ve come to the conclusion that the writers of Helix are simply bored with it now. Perhaps they've already been told there won’t be a third season, and so they’re working on another idea that won’t crash as spectacularly as this one has.
To wit, Mother is written essentially as a series of short conversations between two characters that mostly go nowhere. Julia talks to Amy, Winger talks to Alan, Alan talks to Soren, Sarah talks to Peter. It’s disturbingly repetitive and seemingly endless.
Quite why at the start Alan makes an odd face after talking to Soren I’ve no idea?...
