They do like to keep this churning, don't they... two seasons a year, well done Netflix. I've rather enjoyed the previous three, generally my son and I have watched it together and it's been a fun time. With my adult head on, I do think perhaps there's some elements of this season that have gone a bit far, but generally I'm still enjoying it.
Having finally sailed away from Isla Nublar, our heroes are shocked to learn that the Mosasaurus has escapade the island too, as it attacks them. They wash up on a barren arid island, but one that is populated by a Sabre Tooth Tiger, from there they discover a Mantah Corp facility with two very different scientists, Dr Mae Turner (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) who cares deeply for the dinosaurs and explores their communication techniques and Kash Langford (Haley Joel Osment) brash, violent and eager to complete some of Mantah's more despicable science.
I know this perhaps sounds a little churlish, given that the show has been about a group of children that manage to live on a dinosaur infested island for six months - but I do this some of this season is a bit farfetched. Mantah Corp has some extremely advanced technology on their island, including invisible walls, drones that can control where the dinosaurs go and, perhaps most egregious, automated robot animals, capable of independent thought and able to bring down even the biggest T-Rex. If Mantah corp has this level of technology, you do wonder why they want to get into the Dinosaur business at all.
Generally, it's good stuff again though, I liked the burgeoning romance this season and the way it effects the dynamic. I also liked Yaz's PTSD storyline - as it is acknowledging that these kids have been through a lot to get here.
We're not done yet though, as the season closes with another twist that will have ramifications for the next run and I'll certainly be back again.
