I never write reviews, blah blah blah, but oh my goodness, what a ride! I loved the first season and feel like I've been waiting eagerly for s02 for eons. Put it on last night and couldn't help but scoff the lot.
One of the things that makes this show great is that it's 2 shows in one: a sci if fantasy, and a black comedy drama about mental illness. Season 2 goes bigger, bolder, crazier, and even cleverer I think. They never compromise substance for style, but just inundate us with both. Honestly would happily binge the lot again the very next day. There's so much to enjoy as a fantastical roller coaster alone, but the metaphorical realism woven throughout packs such an emotional punch. And helps us to understand more deeply how human beings work. How trauma affects us. How unhealed wounds are passed down and ripple out through generations. There's so much to unpack, whilst also still being so entertaining, it's really pretty astonishing.
Genuinely, perhaps the most I've ever enjoyed a season of a tv show. I couldn't believe there weren't already more reviews marvelling at this show's achievements so here you go. Watch it. Right now. You need to.
