Mysterious Benedict Society Season 2
★ ★ ★ - Very Good
There's a sadness that something so singular and beautiful exists and there will never be a Season 3. It's too visually opulent, even on an obvious budget, and nobody is watching. Kind of rubs salt in the wound that they end on a note the suggests the conflict for Season 3. Instead, I just hope the series remains on Disney+, where I can rewatch it joyfully from time to time. Season 2 is even better than Season 1, repeating many of the same ideas but with a greater sense of urgency and a nice deepening of the characters.
Side note: One of my favorite needle drops is an episode of Season 1 that opens to "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring. The Season 2 finale tops it in terms of using one of the dopiest songs by the dopiest band that's part of my DNA, "Renegade" by STYX. I think I blanked out for a few minutes while that was playing.
