To say the first season had mixed reviews is an understatement, but I enjoyed the experience and I’m looking forward to the second season!

It seems like the biggest gripe most negative reviewers had was there wasn’t enough action in the first season, which based on the trailer seems to have been heard. I always viewed the show as more of a character study on how people react and adapt when put into impossible situations, but I’m happy to see some big battles in the trailer.

The second season begins on August 23 and runs weekly through October 25.

what was even worse is that they never gave any characters any motivation for anything they were doing, not even the aliens. why was anyone doing, literally anything? why should we care about them? why should we keep watching the show?

everything about the show was maddeningly frustrating, and even though nobody seems to know what the hell they're going or where they're going, they all seem to be trying to do something or go somewhere and still manage to fail spectacularly, which is even MORE FRUSTRATING. and, to add on to that, everyone keeps making the most stupid, selfish, cliched mistakes. it's exhausting.

and the kids... the damned kids... every time a kid comes on screen, you just know that they're going to fuck something up and get someone killed or almost get the group caught or both. because they're just so dumb, selfish, or both. with the mom, son, and daughter group, you have the daughter who was born with dog shit for brains and refuses to listen to even the most simple instruction and the back-stabbing fucker of a son. that mom should have just left the both of them with her cheating bastard of a husband. those shitty kids will just get her killed or human trafficked or worse.

then there's the kids in the bus. by episode 4, I was seriously hoping they'd go all Lord of the Flies and bash each others' heads in with rocks over the last bag of Takis so we could be done with that storyline.
