OMG, what show did you just describe? It just sounds soooooo bizarre! How can it be season 2 when it sounds completely different than season 1? Thank God I had the good sense to bail on this one.
Im not exaggerating when I say they are two different shows. They literally are. The characters are mostly the same, but everything else is different. Season 1 was about the mysterious pathogen that turned people into zombies who had an urge to attack others and infect them by vomiting black blood into their mouths. There were two pathogens, one that did the blood thing and the other that turned people into immortals. There was the mysterious doctor, the para-military Ilaria Corporation (made up of immortals) who wanted to use an engineered pathogen to de-populate the earth, but needed only a cure for the pathogen to safely release it. It was a bit soapy and had too much interpersonal drama, but it was watchable. And the soundtrack was nostalgic.
Season 2 is about people on an island populated sparsely by a cult of Greenies Gone Wild, who grow their own GMO foods which have properties beyond their genetics because the mysterious "Michael" is a genetic biologist who knows how to engineer organisms to do his bidding. But our characters only slowly are realizing this. They attempt to unravel the "mystery" and trace it to infected honeybees (evidently GMO as well) which spread the pathogen through their honey. Tonight, we discover that Michael himself is an immortal, and he has promised his followers that he will find a way to reverse aging. But wait, many of the females, even one old lady, turn out to be his daughters because he is like 500 years old and all. :facepalm:. MAJOR eyeball exercise from that one.
The show is just off the rails and careening across the landscape without direction. It would be a trainwreck, but there is just no plot to crash into. It feels like that round-robin campfire game where everyone tells part of a haunted house story, adding their own chapters off the cuff before passing the story off to the next person. Only after the circle of storytellers was complete could the first storyteller tell an ending (if he or she chose). But if the first storyteller did not end it, the circle had to continue the story until it came back around to the second storyteller, who could end it (if they chose). This show is like that game but nobody will MERCIFULLY end it.
