Season Two Review
When I reviewed the first season of the show, I said that after an awful start the second half of that season was better - but that it felt unnecessary and the whole story could just have been mixed in with the main show. Having now finished the second season and indeed the whole thing, I think it maintains the levels the first run ended at, but I'm baffled why someone thought this was a story worthy of spinning off.
Having agreed to go with the Civic Republic, Hope (Alexa Mansour) is reunited with her father. Via various methods, the rest of the group make it to the republics base too, mostly via an associated rural community that is on friendly terms with them. Once there, the band learn the horrible truth about Omaha and the campus they left behind and resolve to escape the CRM with the research. The CRM though are suspicious of the security on the base, and bring in a specialist to root out the agitators.
Again, I think quality wise this season is alright. There's none of the Y. A. "walking dead-lite" stuff that occurred in the first few episodes of the first season. Effects are good, deaths are good, plot at least makes sense. I still don't see why this has to exist as a separate entity to the main show though, particularly as - since the end of the Whisperers storyline - we've struggled to find forward momentum there too. This season does have a more direct tie in, with Jadis, played by Pollyanna McIntosh, reappearing and we discovered that she traded Rick for her entry into the CRM and has risen the ranks and is now quite high up. Her position at the end of the series is likely to pay back into the show, or spin off films, somehow. The post credits scene offers an interesting insight as to the state of the rest of the world, but again, nothing that couldn't have appeared in the main show.
As with the first season, I can't generate the sort of venom towards this as others can, but I do feel like I've rather wasted my time on a story that shouldn't have been separate.
