After the first season I wondered where they would go with the plot, if they'd do another monster of the week formula or try for something more serialized. The latter it turns out. This season tells a complete and cohesive story arc, which is something I always appreciate from a show with multiple seasons, especially one adapting an already existing work. A lot of shows will end prematurely, break up story arcs between seasons or go on forever with no conclusion, so it's refreshing when you get an ending at all.

I liked the introduction of new characters to fill the role that the blonde one played in the first season. Helped to keep things fresh, if a still very predictable. The story isn't going to blow you away with any new or bold ideas, just another story of bad guys doing bad things for misguided reasons getting turned to good by a bright-eyed protagonist. The dog girl said my favorite line near the end about how to beat the big bad. Something along the lines of, "why can't you just all work together to blow it up already." Like it wasn't obvious to the other characters that that would work. But then they realized, "why don't we just take this giant explosion, and push it somewhere else." Pretty much what they do.

So yeah it's a simple story, but it's a complete one, and it ends with a nice flash-forward that looks like it's going to set up a sequel series with a new younger generation. 7/10
