Tether

Nothing really happened in the 50 minutes of this episode, same ol same ol. Victor is on to something but never wants to talk about it, or think about it, or anything about it and pretty much just walks away everytime someone asks something. Plot keep adding more questions and never really solving anything, does ring a bell if you ever watched Lost. Seems like writing is leading us on a path of only adding more characters and then milking them off and adding some more and killing them off again. Nothing in the main plot has evolved anywhere at all and this season have had only filler episodes since the beginning.

Not sure what changed, but suddenly the show feels a lot tighter all of a sudden. The girl in the woods plot in this episode was so harrowing in a way that I haven't felt before. I was legitimately shook by how it resolved, and I never feel that way watching a TV show. The slow moving monsters never felt truly scary before, but they seem to be evolving (along with the prisoners' relationship with them) and the implications of that raise the stakes and pick up the momentum. I was really unsure about the introduction of a busload of people at the end of the last season, however it has completely thrown the community into disarray, which is a good thing. My impression of the first season was really lukewarm since I didn't buy into the premise that people would discover what is essentially a magic world then decide to give up and just live a boring life in this town. Not anymore.

(Shortened summary in the bottom of the review)

(From: Season 2 Episode 3) Slowly puts this season on the right track, with this bigger cast with all these new different characters, the great acting, good writing and how that they ain´t afraid to use foul language, which too many shows and movies are afraid of now a days, so props to the shows writers for not being afraid of doing the necessary things to making a show great, but.... the show is slowly going away from its really gory nature in season 1, which saddens me a bit, because it really gave it an extra scary feeling to the show when there where gory scenes.

But other than that there isn´t really that much to say other than i really recommend you to watch this great episode whenever you can.

(10/10)

Shortened summary: Ep 3 ends out being the best episode yet with all the things from last episode having its consequences, which gives us these great moments.

The problem with this show is that its not moving anywhere regarding the plot , a guy watching ep5 season 1 have almost the same informations you got even after reaching S2E3 , they spend too much minutes on side characters that are not important in anyway ! , just like all these people from the bus , why they are here ? I think just to waist much more time instead of focusing on the story, if there is one !

Boyd is my favourite but why we watched 5 episodes of him walking outside and then return just like that without anything that can improve the plot , they saw a lighthouse, ok then what ?? This show is soo weird in term of writing.
