Content wise season 2 was horrible but I only saw maybe 15 minutes of each episode because It helped me fall asleep so in that case, season 2 was great.
What a dumbas comment, are you saying she'd enjoy it because the game forces you to play as Joel making a game changing decision at the end of the game that you have no control over?
The worst was her husband, the "scientist" playing pidgeon noises to the alien artifact, suddenly knew how to build neutrino weapons when the plot needed it to happen.
At this point I'm worried she might not be aware it's a bad show...since she stuck around for a second season while several other actors jumped ship, so to speak...
@@wolfdragonhorse Maybe! It could also be that her schedule was booked after the gig and there wasn't much time to change things around if she dropped Another Life, could have been contractually obligated or even that she didn't want to bail on a show that was maybe fun to film, had a great cast to work with or an amazing crew, especially during the pandemic. There are a lot of factors that go into why actors accept jobs, and they're usually not to do with artistic integrity, unfortunately. They gotta eat too.
Yeah, it could have been a decent show if 1. Half the cast didn’t leave. 2. They didn’t cram all this into 1 season. The show could have worked if the cast left, but the fact that they crammed all this crap into 1 season, makes it feel crammed.
And just like that (snaps fingers) my repression of that film was undone, and with it, my sanity also left. The horror of the cgi is enough to make me weep...

I'd say it says a lot about this Society that objectively bad Shows are genuiinly seen as good or even great. Yes, i did. I just did use the dreaded O-Word, i know. That's how Writing and Stuff works: Humanity has figured Rules and such out. Chekovs Gun, Show, Dont Tell, these arent 'some random dudes opinion', they are universally accepted ways to not F-Up-hard.

The most terrifying part of Another Life's science is that they just accept AI being able to make more AI as ... fine... If I was the aliens I'd blow the humans up before they cause an AI singularity.
This made me realize I apparently turn my brain off when I watch shows. I had no clue there were so many flaws with another life but oh my God now I see that it coud have been 100x better!
I agree with both of your reviews! That said, I came to the opposite conclusion regarding people picking the many over the few. In my experience, people in movies always risk the many to save the few. Neo picks Trinity over humankind. The crew in The Martian risks their lives and the heartbreak of their family to rescue Matt Damon. Countless war movies refuse to leave a man behind, regardless of the cost: this is Saving Private Ryan’s central conceit. I think you get my point: the hero makes the hard, risky choice and it pays off for them.
I completely forgot this show existed until I saw this vid pop up in my yt recs. I went and watched S2, then watched your vid on S1, and wondered if the writers also watched your S1 vid with all the course adjustments they made in S2 with the Team A retcons, Bernie fixes, etc. Amazing how they managed to make a number of new and equally unfortunate errors in S2 though.
"Hey let's try and make a better version of one of the most universally (ba dum tissss) loved shows, Star Trek, but more action packed and gayer. What could go wrong?" (Smashcut to every instance of wonky acting, memeable cgi, glaring plothole etc)
I kinda enjoyed the second season more just cuz we got to see other planets and other aliens. That’s about it lol. I have no idea how this show got a second season but at least it sounds like it’s done.
Thank goodness Beauchamp isn't in the second season. I had to deal with Outlander, and at least their set design is amazing. I actually like it when people don't pronounce my name properly, it almost never happens.
"Shoving 6 seasons worth of content into 1 season is never a good idea..." I agree with that the vast majority of the time. But I do think that it was done relatively well twice by Joss Whedon (out of necessity because he'd been canceled both times). The second season of Dollhouse and the movie Serenity.
Just watched this entire video with absolutely zero context and it was wonderful. It sounds like a friend that’s super drunk or stoned trying to tell me about their brilliant new idea for a movie/book/show.
I actually enjoyed season 2. I thought killing off all the dud characters in the first episode was a great move. Of course I probably enjoyed it because I compared it to the train wreck of the first season. If it had no comparison i'd probably say its a dumpster fire as well.
Yeah I kinda liked how the characters’ incompetence added to the colonialism in space vibes. Also I’m happy they didn’t continue that trash threesome arc that could’ve been pulled straight out of the pages of Stephanie Myer or Cassandra Clare.
Me: Oh yeaaah Another Life that's the show that made like no sense and was super inconsistent right ? Amanda: Season 1 was more consistent than season 2 I'll give it that. ......Oh.....No...
Season 2? Oh hell no. I would however like a prequel that explains the conditions on earth that would create the situation where a bunch of idiots are the only people available to fly a spaceship with a mission to save the earth.
I had *almost* convinced myself to watch s2 of this, just for the "so bad it's good" thing, but then remembered in time it was just plain bad and watched this instead... thank your for saving me 💛
I thought the story was lacking, but I did enjoy the first season. I also liked I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House, so maybe I shouldn't have a say. XD
So cool how an massive alien warship apparently only has one or two crew members to man and maintain the entire thing. Also cool how Niko and Richard figured out exactly how to use its controls within mere hours despite them being in complete gibberish.
a sci-fi show written by people with no interest or understanding of sci-fi, with computer stuff in it from people who have no idea how computers or code works, just... truly incredible
I hate that I watched this, but I think it was more that all of the civilizations were under the overlordship of the Achya were released and knew what was going on via the Achyan spacetime bridging technology
Paula straight up murdered that intelligent creature and they never talked about that as far as I know. This show was a little low budget, and the story a little confusing but it kept me interested.
The most shameful thing about the whole neutrino weapon deal is that neutrinos are almost completely massless, they can't be used as a weapon for anything
And, you know, you know what outputs an absolute *fuck ton* of neutrinos? Stars. Any spaceship that can’t handle a little neutrino radiation has no business conducting an invasion.
I bet their science guy was like yeah neutrino weapons are dumb but they were like.. nah it sounds cool we'll keep it. Can't be worse than the cloud of dark matter that is blinding them lol
My brother called me a couple years ago and told me that I HAD to watch the first episode of season one. And it was so bad it was good. After I watched we must have spent an entire hour ripping on it. Good times. :) Anyway, I had to watch your video about Season two. Honestly, I was shocked it had a season two after the disaster that was the first episode. Still, dialogue like, "the military got rid of uniforms ten years ago" is just priceless. :) Thanks for the video. Subscribed.
Amazing breakdown. I started watching season 2, then I got bored and forgot about the show. I started watching this video, remembered I forgot about Another Life season 2, stopped the video and spent 2 weeks finish the season (mostly while traveling). I agree with everything you said and enjoyed your entertaining recap. There show is bad but fun to watch… with some effort. Your recap probably encouraged many more to watch the show.
I was shocked at how incompetently the ship seemed to be constructed and how bad the crew was. But I legitimately thought some good ideas slipped in there
Not the first time I've encountered a plot with aliens offering to help "fix" the planet but somehow don't have their own planet ... Because they did such a good job with their last planet that it's gone and with all that tech miraculously pick earth instead of an empty planet. In this case I get it, they are parasites and need a host. It just seems like a lie since they somehow couldn't stay on their own planet right?
It's not good, but I don't actually want it to be cancelled. I just need more space and alien content on Netflix. I don't really like Lost In Space and even The Expanse. But it might be cancelled since it was not in the top 10 series due to bad timing for the release (right before You).
At some point during this explanation, I started to feel like I was hallucinating or high or something. My brain just melted down. And I want to be clear that this is not due to your explanation but the insane ass story
I feel like going off and watching retrospectives on 90s and 00s scifi series to compare what people thought of character interactions, plot elements, believability and narrative consistency back then and the overall deterioration of quality compared to 2020s shows. Not saying you need to do some of those but I think the comparison would be very revealing
i haven’t even seen (or heard?) of this show but it autoplayed after one of your other videos and i watched it while doing the dishes like taking notes like this is real life drama💀
This very much sounds like these people knew that Netflix usually gives every show 2 seasons, then cancels it unless it does incredibly well. They had storylines planned for many seasons they knew they wouldn’t get, so they shoved them all into this second season. Problem is, even if they could have could have been good storylines, they lose all impact.
You have my gratitude for your work. Brave women and men like you are the reason for humanity to live free of seeing shitshows like this. You dive in the mouth of madness and thanks to you my eyes won't bleed like when I saw first season. I wonder how this show was given the second season, but "Nightflyers" was not ( yeah, I know it wasn't the best, but personally I liked it)
The writers of this season: "Hey, can we copy your homework?" Stephenie Meyer, handing them The Host: "Sure, just change it a little bit so it's not too obvious."
I'm just losing my mind at the idea that the only way to slowdown the readout of a program's code is to slowdown the actual OPERATION of the program like what??? was it her programming code or a live log, bc a live log is the only thing that could explain the speed being so fast in the first place, but.... cant they just export a log of her operations during the time in question?? why is the only thing they can access an instantaneous record this feels like a very poorly designed UI for monitoring the program that RUNS YOUR SPACESHIP
Thank you for saving me from watching this. On another note a possible Pallette cleanser have you seen The Expanse? It's such a good show. I need to catch up on the last 3 seasons but the first 2 were really really good. Started as a SyFy original (really big budget) then picked up by amazon. 100% recommend.
"palate" cleanser. From Wikipedia: A palate cleanser is a serving of food or drink that removes food residue from the tongue allowing one to more accurately assess a new flavor.

I was not a fan of how they wrote off the cast.
I've seen shows sacrifice the scifi for the story or sacrifice the story for the scifi but doing both is almost impressive.

They had storylines planned for many seasons they knew they wouldn’t get, so they shoved them all into this second season. Problem is, even if they could have could have been good storylines, they lose all impact.
The most shocking reveal of all is somehow they gave this show another season.
Oh look, Amanda made a review of "bootleg The Expanse" SE02
Honestly the Akai seems quite nice. Just not needing to worry about my own actions and whatnot. Sign me up!
You have my gratitude for your work. Brave women and men like you are the reason for humanity to live free of seeing shitshows like this. You dive in the mouth of madness and thanks to you my eyes won't bleed like when I saw first season. I wonder how this show was given the second season, but "Nightflyers" was not ( yeah, I know it wasn't the best, but personally I liked it)
The writers of this season: "Hey, can we copy your homework?"
Stephenie Meyer, handing them The Host: "Sure, just change it a little bit so it's not too obvious."
They stole ideas from so many shows and movies and independence day should sue.
We have taken the form of your parent.
"Why?"
Saves the show about $100,000 on bad CGI
I'm just losing my mind at the idea that the only way to slowdown the readout of a program's code is to slowdown the actual OPERATION of the program like what??? was it her programming code or a live log, bc a live log is the only thing that could explain the speed being so fast in the first place, but.... cant they just export a log of her operations during the time in question?? why is the only thing they can access an instantaneous record this feels like a very poorly designed UI for monitoring the program that RUNS YOUR SPACESHIP
Thank you for saving me from watching this. On another note a possible Pallette cleanser have you seen The Expanse? It's such a good show. I need to catch up on the last 3 seasons but the first 2 were really really good. Started as a SyFy original (really big budget) then picked up by amazon. 100% recommend.
"palate" cleanser. From Wikipedia: A palate cleanser is a serving of food or drink that removes food residue from the tongue allowing one to more accurately assess a new flavor.
