Strangers in a Strange Land

I'm a big fan of 'outside of the box' storylines. Don't be afraid to tell a convoluted, twisted tale that keeps us intrigued. I'm asking questions and that's good...I wish more shows would follow this formula.

Please, for the love of everything good- keep it interesting and have a plan going forward. Know where this is going and stick to your guns.

This episode starts right from where it left off while new characters are introduced. Nightfall is imminent as always. We finally get a glimpse of these 'people' in their nocturnal (daytime hours) nest. Looking forward to the rest of the season. Great start!

Excellent pace through the intro, then closely follows the rest of the story. And i have yo admit David Alpay's performance as Jade is amazing. He has become my favorite character of this series so far, his personality is smart and funny at the same time in this otherwise haunting place. I like the resemblance of the the story to crucial reality "just when we think things going at right right direction another load of trouble hits" and the show's Mystery managed to keep me at the edge of my seat. Great work from writers and directors for doing an amazing job also Actor's performance are decent. Thumbs up!

So are all of the characters either unnecessarily petrified, annoyingly clumsy and foolish, unable to follow simple instructions, irritatingly selfish and mean, blissfully ignorant while voluntarily stupid, overbearingly obsequious or metaphorically verbose? They repeatedly do the same mistakes or make the same bad decisions over and over and over and everyone responds like ants in a hill that's been kicked over instead of grown ups who have some modicum of experience and adult behaviors. It's like hitting your head with a hammer and being genuinely surprised at the pain. Shooting a tire and scaring everyone instead of just deflating it or slashing it or taking the drivers keys. It like all the order and protocols they've established are gone. Dude can't heel toe climb up a narrow chimney, something a child can do. Collapsing house for no reason. People who've resided there a while and are experienced are acting all terrorized and panicked and helpless. The show did not seem this bad in season 1.

Fans of video games will find many comparisons to games such as "The Forest" and "Darkwood" in this episode.

Really great seat gripping stuff here, fouled only by the poor dialogue.

It's almost as though some characters were written to starkly contrast what is being said to them without any indication of acknowledging what was said to them, it completely shatters the immersion and is a missed opportunity to take advantage of body language. The actor who plays the character Victor, is phenomenal in his ability to communicate through his body language, a skill which only a few members of the cast seem to possess.

Still a decent start to Season 2.

I actually forgot how much I liked this show. I forgot how ominous everything felt watching it.

I haven't been looking forward to any movies except the comical B stuff like 'Cocaine Bear'.

I haven't been looking forward to a single series other than this one, and this season premiere delivered very well.

Without spoilers, it starts off right where it ended, as if they had already filmed it during the last season.

The transition into this season is very solid and they seem to have mastered the craft that they were building towards.

This will be the first show in years that I await every Sunday eagerly to watch the next episode.

I just wish the show was more easily available in Canada.
