I've enjoyed thus season more than the last. Not because it's good. But because the characters are already established and now we get to see them progress. Or in Luther's case, just continue to prove he's a dumb nieve daddy's boy.

None of them progress at all...
Literally none of them. |

Finished the season. Seanny is right. The characters don't grow. What I should've said is I like that the characters are established so I can focus less on getting to know them and more about the plight at hand.
The direction of season 3 is obvious. But I look forwardto seeing what they do with it, and I hope they ditch the doomsday scenario. |

Haven't finished but my prediction so far is (I reserve the right to change based on how this season ends) is that no matter where they go they always have to deal with an apocalypse that they create. The final season, should it make it that far, will be them trying to kill their younger selves.

I'm hoping not. And that season 3 changes it up.

I think the eternal apocalypse scenario has legs as a background setting but I think they have to explore Sir Reginald a lot more in any further season/s or people are going to get annoyed.
Maybe Sir Reginald is doing all of this to guarantee the Earth is doomed rather than saved? |

The Lila swerve was also meh. No build up to. No hinting at more. Nada. Just randomly "oh btw she's special". |

She really was. Problem is she now exists in this universe and will probably be a focal point of the next season.

Me too. If they did nude scenes in this show and she had one I'd be more forgiving of the randomness of her inclusion.

You just explained why Vikings is a better show than Game Of Thrones without even mentioning either of them.

Lila sucked but the actress didn't have a lot to work with. No depth or originality to her. All she had to do was act a bit smarmy. She had no range but there were no ways she could have displayed any if she's got it in her.

Done with season 2. Going to hang my hat on The Boys in terms of darker super hero shows. That seems more promising.
This show is still fun but the lack of progress of the narrative or characters this season was a real let down. You could feasibly skip season 2, pick up with 3 and not known you'd missed anything. That's saying something. |

Vanye gonna gain Lila's ability.
One of the cast are gonna die and Klaus will resurrect them somehow. Lila will become an UA member. The whole Sparrow Academy thing won't last but one or two episodes and be forgotten aboot. |

Shit, how can I forget.
One of the team members (probably Luthar) will lose their power and regain it at the most select time (epic battle). |

If you told me Luther was weaker than the average man I'd see it more than him being super strong.

Just finished it.... overall not as good as the first season. Not as much character/world-building I think.... needed better heels too.... The Swedes did nothing for me, and Lila/Handler story was nowhere near as interesting as Hazel/Cha-Cha doing their thing.
Excited to see where it goes from here, though.... the mystery of Reginald Hargreeves is the most interesting part of this show now |

Reading other comments.... agree about none of the characters really growing.... Klaus even regressed a bit.... (He's still fantastic though)

I hope she's not a focal point in season 3. Klaus and 5 are far more interesting to watch.

Ellen Page is a great actress, she's just fundamentally unappealing now that she has settled into a sort of "grunge" style of acting that got old real quick.
