I let this sit on the planner for a long time before ploughing into this second season of Futureman. I did somewhat enjoy the first run, though felt it was patchy. That's probably a fair assessment of the second season also.
Seemingly successful in saving the world, Tiger (Eliza Coupe) and Wolf (Derek Wilson) arrive back in the future to discover a . . . somewhat . . . better world, the human race living in caves but at least no longer fighting the war against the Biotics. Josh (Josh Hutcherson) though, is left serving multiple life sentences for the terrorist act in the season finale. This is until he's too whisked to the future by a terrorist cell looking to bring down the tyrant ruler of the new world, Stu Camillo (Hayley Joel Osment).
Mostly shorn of the time travelling element to focus on this one world, season two is admittedly underneath the first season, in terms of quality, in my opinion. The single scenario to this run hurt it a bit, given the freedom that the reboot of time travel allowed in the first. It's noticeable that the best episodes of this run are the last two - where jumping through time features heavily again, and in a clever way I've not seen utilised on TV before - and with an interesting philosophical point about the nature of time travel, which again, I've not seen before.
But there's a lot of padding to get to those last two episodes, and some of those early shows really struggled to keep my attention. So much so that when the plot actually needed me to remember who was who, and what the groups motivations were, I found I couldn't remember. Again, that also didn't end up as too much of a problem, as it pulled me back in the in the final few episodes.
I'll be back for Season three, but I'm somewhat glad that, that will be the end of the show.
