Pacific Rim: The Black Season Two (2022) created by Greg Johnson and Craig Kyle based on the movie by Guillermo del Toro
Check out my review of Season One here!
The action picks up right where it left off as young teens Hayley and Taylor search for their missing parents in the Australian interior filled with dangerous Kaiju (monsters bent on destroying humanity, though they aren't all gigantic monsters like in the movies). They've picked up two other wandering children. A mute boy is able to transform into a Kaiju and is wanted by a mysterious and weird cult, the Sisters of the Kaiju, that worships the Kaiju and think he will be some messiah. Mei is a sulky teenager who wants to survive and is willing to offer up stuff (mostly other people and their stuff) to save their butts. The young teens are drawn into conflict with the Sisters and make a difficult discovery.
The show has the typical action and drama of a kid-centered fantasy story. I never really believed they were not going to pull through. The world-building gets a bit bigger, explaining some of the elements introduced in the previous season. It's one of those shows where I am glad I watched it but don't need to watch it again.
Mildly recommended.
Currently (May 2022), the show is only streaming on Netflix.
