Molly Woods, an astronaut, returns home from a year long solo mission in space. She returns home to her husband John, a robotics engineer who created their son Ethan, a prototype android called a 'humanich'. When Molly discovers that she has mysteriously become pregnant despite years of infertility, she begins a search for answers.
It looks as though Kruger and Shapiro have a handle on how to make Extant more engaging, and Berry's performance certainly seems liberated by the new changes.
Berry rallies in the second half of the premiere, seeming to finally embrace the absurdity of the space-invader plot with a "if we're doing this, let's do this" determination.
"Change Scenario" employed all of the best show reboot tools: there was a time jump, a swift shedding of excess baggage (farewell, John!), and an injection of new blood to get the ball rolling in a new direction.
Yes, Season 2 makes concessions to mass appeal. Nonetheless, these make Extant more alive in ways it might have benefitted from had they been there from the start.
With its use of aliens and robots, Extant dares to merge classic science fiction into our everyday lives; so much so, that it starts to feel like it is holding up a mirror to the world we live in today.
Confusing, convoluted and never captivating, Extant asks you to worry about many apocalypses but forgets one thing: whoever could care about the end of a world this dull?
The love-hate chemistry between Morgan and Berry recalled a Bogart/Bacall noir. Sadly, it will no doubt be wasted by this criminally cack-handed drama.
