This will be full of spoilers. It's a great show.

Season 2 is worse than season 1 for the sole fact that people don't share information and don't have conversations that they should. I'm still so frustrated by that.

Tabitha especially is so bad about this because she found the nest of the monsters and the tunnel system and tells literally no one. She keeps this information to herself. Instead of sharing that and maybe mapping the tunnel or even closing the entrance, she makes it so nothing is done about it. She is ridiculously selfish or stupid.

Jade is second on the list of people hiding key information that could be useful. At least his I can excuse as he doesn't share because people, aka Jim sees him as crazy and seeing shit. The entire town has seen weird visions and feelings and no one seems to place any value on them. Elgin and his dreams are taken at face value when he tells people like Donna and Fatima and Ellis. Ellis even goes out of his way to make sure his dad, Boyd knows. This is something we don't see happening with Jade. All of his interactions are with Jim when he has weird shit happens and Jim seems to basically say he's crazy.

Jim is next up on the stupidity train, though also Donna's for not focusing on the radio aspect. Jim starts to think its an experiment and that this is all just planned. Brain dead as he ends up getting Randall involve whos actually just a piece of shit the entire time.

Randall is someone I just don't like. Dude is an asshole and a dick, he may have his reasons but none of it comes across and he is ultimately just cruel. He should have been killed solely for the stability of the town. That dude would have definitely fucked things up eventually. He still may.

Kenny has grown significantly in this season and he becomes his own man after finding out that Sara killed his dad and that Boyd hid that fact. I love Kenny and seeing the relationship he has with Boyd disappear in an instance and it's now replaced by begrudging respect rather than admiration. I love this part of him.

Kristi's finacee ends up at the town and this throws a wrench. I also like Kristi gets together with her and there is no love triangle at all.

The best part of the show was when they finally kill one of the monsters and take it apart. They don't actually study it because Boyd and the crew all incompetent and or the story demands it. Like goddamn. Maybe taking their hands and using their nails as weapons could work. After all presumably the monsters can hurt each other. They ultimately get some bile out of the thing and then burn the rest of the body instead of trying to figure something out. Though they did learn the inside was that of a human so who knows. Still nails and teeth could have been take out and put on a bat or something. Spitballing here.

The bus coming into town was fine, it definitely raised the tension with the quick increase in people causing issues such as resources going down the drain. This is set up and I hope it is used in the next season as there wasn't much here.

Another thing Tabitha does is that she goes on a quest to the lighthouse, something that had she talked to people she would have learned from Boyd that he had also seen. Utterly useless and she is causing her own issues. She also would have learned that Boyd was the one at fault and that he was going to be dealing with the fact that Julie was in danger. Tabitha basically fucking things up nonstop after her doing the coolest thing of digging a hole in the basement and finding the goddamn nest.

The season ends with Boyd saving the town for now and Tabitha getting pushed out of the lighthouse by the boy in white. She ends up back in soceity.

I have no fucking idea where the show is going. Though it looks like things are really happening as her family is not with her.

Once again half of Boyd's issues can be directly tied to the fact he is not curious and he doesn't seem to understand Victors important. I don't think the two characters have actually ever interacted which is insane. The man who wants to take everyone home doesn't actually have any questions for the man who has been there the longest. The fuck.

Season 2 is way too frustrating. I'm not sure if there's any answers coming but this show is scratching that itch so I'm going to continue watching.

Fuck.
