I was always going to watch this intrigued at how the first season ended, oddly no giant flying snake in the trailer, it's almost like they trying to distance it from that weirdness to draw people back with spaceships, androids, guns and the usual sci-fi fluff.

Why would they need to? No-one who liked the first season was disappointed by the end.

Disappointed, no, weirded out and pulling the famous Krusty face while watching Worker & Parasite, yes.

 

You'd think it would merit a mention in a trailer at least.

This is not correct.

Cast OUT the HERETIC

The bit with the snake was the only good bit. If they'd gone all-snake, all-madness for series 2, I'd probably be on board. 

[Valver]

The first two episodes of Season 2 just aired in the US and consequently hit the high seas moments later.  Fingers crossed this series is as bonkers (in a good way) as the first one!

[ZOK]

Yes captain! Please don’t disappoint.

[ucci]

Thanks for the heads up! Forgot about this. 

[Fireproofradiator]

How's everyone finding series two of this then? I think they need to find a new wildie personally.

[ucci]

It lacks some of the comedy of the first series, there were some disastrous attempts at anthropology by the robots last time which have been wiped out in this one. The weapon carried by mother in episode 3 was ridiculous. Needstodobetterandmaydo/10

[Fireproofradiator]

I don't know. I'm still enjoying it but I'm not getting the existential horror and schlock of series one anymore. 

 

This is weird but between the costumes, camp and quarry sets it's starting to remind me of the 80's Buck Rogers. Just to confirm, I don't have any problem with that at all but I do feel like it's a changed show from the first series.

[JohnC]

Yeah, but I thought the latest ep kind of brought some of that back.

I just spat out my team reading that line. Your are spot-on!

Is it me or has father packed on a few covid pounds since series one. Those outfits are really not forgiving

This week took a bit of a turn!

Was a real step up with so much going on!

 

I found that one segment creepy as fuck but couldn't look away! 

[Fireproofradiator]

Just to say this is building up a head of steam again now and you should get on it.

I just polished off episode 3 of series 2, I am loving it. Just so cool, weird and silly, it’s pure catnip for me!

 

As for Buck Rogers, I’m not getting that at all but the hammerite hover tanks, androids and the ‘tropical zone’ of this series all put me in mind of the old Logan’s Run tv series:

 

 

 

 

[Fuddle]

I kinda missed the start of this season, but got all caught up over this last week. Still absolutely loving it. It’s bonkers and I have no idea what’s going on!

 

episode 6

Spoiler

A fish stole a baby.... that woman turned into a tree... there’s a new scary robot!

[IcEBuRN]

I was really confused, maybe I missed something, but why did that lady just run off to the beach alone in the first place?

I thought she wanted to heave her unwanted newborn into the boiling sea.. seemed a bit rough really

New episode delivers 

[ZOK]

Flipping heck, I absolutely love this but you have to forgive so much silliness to grease the plot wheels. I just watched episode 5, and why didn’t the Mithraic ‘mother’ not just

give her android ‘daughter’ a direct order to shut down?

Obviously that isn’t at all interesting, and what did happen instead was brilliant, but you know! 

[Chadruharazzeb]

How come none of season 2 is on NowTV? Are they waiting for it to finish first? 

[IcEBuRN]

This is absolutely batshit. I have to wonder if they have an endgame here, or just lick the next tab and write away each week.

That's what I'm assuming, they've listed season 1 as a boxset. So expect season 2 will be dropped in complete.

[SM47]

I too feverishly google almost daily for a confirmed Now TV date. Surely there's not many episodes left? Isn't there only eight this time around instead of ten? 

[ZOK]

I just polished off episodes 6 & 7, this is great stuff, properly gutting when Hunter

shot the nursing sea monster.

Regarding Tempest’s baby, and this:

Don’t forget the baby is the product of

Tempest being raped on the Mithraic Ark by the Priest during the journey to Kepler-22b so she didn’t want it being brought up in the camp where it would be a continual reminder.

I’m tempted to say I’m enjoying S2 even more than S1!
