Poor structuring, redundant plotting, zero fun, and ample bewilderment add up to quite the mess.

3/5

A little unwieldy? Sure. But it’s consistently gripping, with a budget to build out this multiverse properly and a remarkable performance(s) from Edgerton at its centre.

4/5

A thoughtful, if unexpected continuation of the story, this second season takes a bold step into the unknown, delivering something different but altogether more satisfying.

4/5

Season Two begins with the same pulse pounding drama that S1 had, with the stakes higher and the JASONs that much more pursuant. Joel Edgerton is a magnificent choice for all the Jason variations. W/links to two interviews w/series players.

8/10

The stakes have significantly risen since season 1, and Connelly, alongside Edgerton, are giving some of the best performances on TV at the moment.

9/10

Where the finale leaves us and what could happen in a third season of Dark Matter should make fans incredibly excited to see how this season unfolds.

I loved the first season, even though the setup is like bad rich guys doing shitty things is accurate but a path well worn. It's a little heavy on the forced dreadiness and love-conquers-all themes. If it were more realistic visually and musically in Season 2, it would be on par with Silo.

This show is creative and intelligent. It's not a retread of anything else. I love the way it imagines some of the what-ifs of its scenarios. There are now more stories involving other characters and versions of characters. They're so good that I'd watch any of them individually. It's a sign of a good show when I keep checking the time left because I hope it's not over yet.

Only watched the beginning of the season, but it feels like it might be easier to follow this season. Good acting/actors and writing…
