Extant is back for its second season tonight at 9p on CBS and it is a lot different than it was last year. Last season, it was more of a futuristic Sci-Fi show that you had to be into that genre to like. It was very sophisticated type of Sci-Fi drama that focused on the future, aliens and robots. This season seems more fast-paced and definitely sexier. In fact, Elizabeth Kruger, who joined the show this year as an Executive Producer, said, “There’s action, there’s romance, there’s heat, sex. I don’t know if any of you like sex, but there will be sex.” She isn’t kidding because the show starts out with Molly Woods (Halle Berry) and John (Goran Visnjic) having hot shower sex.
The show picks up six months after the season finale, a lot has happened to Molly, and it has changed her. As we know her robot son, Ethan (Pierce Gagnon) sacrificed himself to save the world. Her half-alien son escaped and no one knows where he is.
Suddenly, women are dying and their stomachs look like they have exploded open. Police are perplexed and Molly thinks there might be connection. JD Richter (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) an unorthodox police officer thinks there is something strange going on here too. Molly and him meet up, and now the two of them are investigating the cases. What are they going to find out?
This season of Extant is much lighter. I think it keeps enough of the old feel for the original fans, but adds a new sense of vivacity to attract newer viewers.
So tune into tonight at every Wednesday on CBS.
