Sabih A @RT57875922 Aug 3, 2026 Just as Good, Maybe Better than Season 1 While I personally prefer Season 1, Season 2 is the stronger season overall. Skye's Inhuman storyline, her parents, Fitz's recovery, Simmons infiltrating Hydra, and the additions of Bobbi, Hunter, and Lincoln all make for an engaging story. Ward's character arc continues to evolve, and Trip's death is handled especially well. The ending is excellent, particularly Skye's father's fate, which provides a satisfying conclusion. The season keeps delivering strong twists, well-developed characters, and exciting storylines that constantly keep things interesting. The show continues to remind me of Young Justice, expanding the team naturally while maintaining the chemistry that made the first season so enjoyable. In short: An outstanding season with excellent character development, surprising twists, and an engaging story. Even though I slightly prefer Season 1, Season 2 is arguably the better season of television. See more Lucho G @RT50110343 Aug 22, 2025 One of the best seasons of the show. Amazing. See more Lavish C @RT31524559 Jul 28, 2025 They had the chance to make it right, to eliminate the teeny aspect of S1 and go for quality writing, but instead they chose cheap stereotypes. And they turned a YA secondary characters (who's also THE one single most annoying character in the entirety of the MCU) into the ultimate lead, pushing aside Caulson who was an excellent lead. Nope. Dropped and blacklisted. See more Ethan L @RT96671065 Apr 18, 2025 Season 2 deals with the aftermath of the destruction of SHIELD and the remaining factions of SHIELD and Hydra. These are things that the movies never really touched on so I am glad that there is a whole TV show that deals with these storylines that the movies have forgotten. See more Tyler P @RT44544619 Dec 15, 2024 A stellar sequel to the first season, this season will likely mark the best inhuman material of the MCU permanently as Marvel has acquired the rights to and is moving forward with introducing mutants to their universe. See more Artin S @RT21505613 Oct 1, 2024 Plot twist heaven. Great build on the first season with more thrilling action! See more Read all reviews
