Chasing Ghosts

Season 1 was interesting and the characters were well developed. The story seemed to move forward despite having several story arcs. Season 2 seems to be written for a younger generation of viewer. Dialogue and scenes are very predictable and not much movement in the storyline. I had high hopes that the second episode was going to ramp up in tension, character development and storyline. I think they have forgotten what the viewer was originally interested in when watching this show. The writing seems lazy and I hope it does not continue. I will watch one or maybe two episodes more before I make the decision to bail.

On season 2_episode 2: same as season 1, though, my wish was granted and I got to see the bright, daring, tenacious and lovely Mitsuki, the only one out there with a scientific and academic background that I like and respect.

Other than that, a little subpar season in comparison with season 1, with the same nonsense with Aneesha and her family and acquaintance, some lengthy dragging scenes and episodes with the British kids and an ending that is worse than the whole season.

Time to cancel the show. This time and this series, really.

The first season gave me hope, and the first episode of this season (despite being awful) also made me think that it could at least remotely improve. I was, unfortunately, wrong.

It's still absolutely awful.

Instead of the little family arc they have where the children do the most mindless stuff ever, they, in this episode, brought us back to more children who do even MORE mindless stuff!

It's slow, lethargic and stupid. It tries to build tension, and fails horribly. No attachment is remotely built towards any of the characters, not just because the writing is crap but also because the acting is almost comedic, as is most of the scenes. But at the same time, the acting can only be as good as the writing so...

The Miami scenes are ridiculous. When it first popped onto the screen, I was like... "Is this South Africa?" No one was wearing clothes from America, none of them had American hairstyles, and you could see their breath at night. I live in South Florida. It doesn't get that cold, even in winter.

I suggest the location scouts at least watch something filmed in Miami before acting like they can reproduce it.

It was bad enough in this season's premier that we got yet another annoying character - the rich dude funding the research that apparently the governments, including the big international World Defense Coalition are too broke to handle. But at least that episode moved forward and had some intrigue.

But in this absolutely useless episode, we get almost an hour of pointless filler, most of it the British kids, that made it feel like I accidentally tuned in to a Disney channel. It seems Apple is rotting with this series, if this is the best they can come up with after making fans wait two years.

Unless the next episode wows me, I'll be done with this show and will be cancelling my Apple subscription, I'm not into paying for boredom.
