Season 2 felt like a bad rehash of season 1. It's not identical, and in many ways, it's a kinder, gentler (and weaker) version of the first season...but a lot of the motifs were the same. Which season does this describe?-- The siblings are uncomfortably estranged from each other while Five struggles to get them to come together in the face of an impending apocalypse, but they're all too preoccupied with their own lives (Allison, her family by marriage and career; Vanya, a romance of discovery, Klaus manic pixie hoboing around; Diego with an even dumber hero complex; attempted murder by the Commission; Reginald is a distant, mysterious, and malevolent figure...), coming together around the time that their stupid projects start to converge to create the predicted apocalypse. There's a fight scene to an unexpected, peppy song. There's a sibling-cutesy scene with dancing to another fun old song. Hmm.
At least we got to see more Ben, who did have some nice scenes. On the other hand, prolonged fart joke as a plot point. The choice of music was strong, but not as fun and varied as the previous season (obviously that's like a double-subjective opinion). Good enough to watch, but underwhelming and made me just want to go back and enjoy season 1 again instead
