    The fear and horror of season 1 of Helix has been dropped for season 2 with its mixture of time travel and conspiracy theories. The series is no longer frightening and no longer interesting.

    Descending into the realms of B grade horror removing whatever SyFi was there upon premise. Presto we now has a Helix, or genetically modified DNA

    Dialogue and any science displayed have been ripped off a cracker box, totally bonkers. I watched episode 2 of season2, it had me in stitches. Immortally pregnant, or pregnant immortally, suffering everlasting morning sickness, I dunno your
    Descending into the realms of B grade horror removing whatever SyFi was there upon premise. Presto we now has a Helix, or genetically modified DNA

    Dialogue and any science displayed have been ripped off a cracker box, totally bonkers. I watched episode 2 of season2, it had me in stitches. Immortally pregnant, or pregnant immortally, suffering everlasting morning sickness, I dunno your the Doc? Meanwhile smoking way too much Pol Pot making those fields look trivial on an island a couple hundred miles off the US coast. All because they are an evil cult who cultivate apples that further sprout into zombies. Seriously what am I watching other then a joke?

    The first two episodes were very promising, with the uncommon time element they introduced. But it's the same directionless drivel it was a season ago. Syfy attracts only low caliber writers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It starts out interesting but eventually becomes vulgar rather than horrific. In the first few episodes, the monastery and their alternative lifestyle was interesting. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'd probably give it a better rating if this was a new show and a different genre. But it isn't. All arcs are completely thrown out of the window and replaced by new ones. The whole plot is thrown away. The choice of location is complete plot armor. The greatest character of the first season is ruined by replacing his arc and letting him die for no good reason. A great disappointment. Expand

    Helix is the stoned college sophomore of television: full of weighty philosophical notions and fun ideas, but no clue how to explain them or execute its plans.
