Season 2 opens with the alphas rescuing Dr. Rosen's estranged alpha daughter from an assassin. She carries a carefully coded message stolen from Red Flag. But Dr. Rosen suspects it's a ruse which leads him to take precipitous action.
Competent and enjoyable when it comes to action and pacing, but this show will rise and fall on the continuation of the character development begun in Season 1, and the jury's still out on that front.
The guy who always helps bring this series back around, though, is David Strathairn. His performance as Rosen is always great, and he's always there to tether this show and give it a solid voice.
Yes, it's basically the story that every X-Men arc or film explores, but it's a good story, and there's plenty of room for unexplored territory that Alphas can mine.
This premiere had no shortage of high intensity Alpha abilities, action, and conflict. It continued the overall conspiracy from season one, but the stakes seemed much higher this time.
