Whether it’s a simmering threat or one delivered at gunpoint, “Impulse” still keeps its sense of danger present at every turn. When that uncertainty pushes Henry and those in her immediate orbit towards a fresh understanding of their circumstances, the show is better for it. “Impulse” has laid out a few different pathways to its bigger picture. Now, it’s just a matter of jumping toward one.
The writing in S2 is a big step down from s1. The story is a mess, the characters behave like idiots and there's none of that sense of doom that permeated s1. The acting is worse too which is hardly surprising considering the cringeworthy cheese the writers have the characters spew out. Worst of all is that it's mind-numbingly boring.
Was s1 based on a book? It's pretty obvious the writers had no idea where the story was going after s1.
S1 was ok. S2 is nearly unwatchable. I skipped a few episodes in the middle thinking it might improve toward the end--no luck. The story makes little sense and moves slowly. All of the characters are angry and argue with each other constantly. The weather is dark and dreary in each episode. With a little more creativity a much better story could have been written utilizing this premise.
