Well, Season 2 was more of the same - except maybe a bit too-much so,
In Junkers Season Two, the gang that keeps robots from going bat-crazy on humans is plopped into a place where they're overwhelmed. Beyond reason. Let's see you get out of THIS, all you Junkers.
And, there's kind of the problem. They are SO overwhelmed that the process of surviving is - while resourceful - kind of contrived. It's pretty clear the plot is being steered to give the team lifeline after lifeline.
The upside: It's still good humor, and a quick, light read. But, I was ready for it to wrap up when I was about 60% done.
