My Thoughts
I love a good futuristic show, and this is a great one! In the show, humanoid robots called Snyths are created to work as servants for humans. At first, it seems like a great way to make everyone's life easier, but before long, some of the robots begin to resent their masters. In the series, we follow several families as they try to adjust to life with their Synths. In season two, the Snyths are becoming more aware and more unhappy with their situation, which could be dangerous for the humans. This season includes eight exciting episodes.
1- Niska has a big decision to make. Mia, Leo and Max are all hiding out. The Hawkins are trying to move on with their lives, and Dr. Morrow gets a surprise visitor.
2- Laura wants to help Niska. Karen and Pete discover Synths are bring sold on the black market. Leo sets out on an important task, and Mia takes a big risk.
3-Athena's secret comes out. Niska takes a big step. The synths are forced out of hiding.
4- Mia and Ed get closer. Milo wants to know what Athena is up to. Pete looks into the Seraphim investigation
5- Mia takes a big risk. Odi searches for meaning. Hecter and Leo set up a stake out.
6- Athena learns Milo's plan. Mia's return causes problems for Hawkins. Max leads a new community.
7- Mattie reveals the Synths plan. Karen makes a big decision. Mia and Hester raid the silo.
This was a great show with lots of fabulous sci-fi elements, and an awesome story-line. I can't wait to see what happens in Season 3. You can grab a copy for yourself on Acorn Media or online at Amazon.
