Halle Berry is of course, very good in this show. If you've ever seen anything she's done, you won't be surprised. She runs the full gamut of emotion and pulls off the "Storm" vibe when she triggers her powers. The addition of JDM makes it two actors I really like. He's not being used as much to his full potential but I'm hoping Season 3 fixes that. The role of Julie is played well, if not servicable, and she's exactly the type of person you want to root for to die... but never seems to quite get there. The first season it irritated me but I realize it's by design. Ethan is played very well by the child actor and it's been awhile since I've seen a child or a teenage actor I didn't want to slap onscreen. I think the writing is pretty good, and they sometimes go off the rails with things but that's mainstream television in general so it's expected. The writing isn't as good as say, "Mr. Robot", but as long as it isn't as crazy as Under The Dome scripts, I'm happy. I really hope to see more of this show now that things have fleshed out among the characters, sides have been chosen but they REALLY REALLY need to get a good TAALR. Nailing that human role down is key to this becoming a show like Heroes longevity wise.

Do you know why I gave this season only a 7? Because it is the smallest number with the green color in it... C'mon, the show ditches Goran Visnjic, my favorite character (by far) and expects it to leave me numb in substitution for another actor. What am I? The lifeless android kid everyone loves on the show? Well, I am not - and therefore I am reacting vigorously. Dr John was the perfect character for the sci-fi series, and besides, he played a good husband to Halle Berry's role. I just don't understand what the producers were thinking, or maybe not thinking when they decided to let go the true genius in the whole series. I hope that there is a cure that will make Jeffrey Dean Morgan intellectually capable like Einstein....

About as dumb and ridiculous as a show can get. So silly and stupid it's hard to believe the actors can make their way through with it holding straight faces. The concept is the only thing that made it stand out.

So many drastic and straight out cold changes have made Extant Season 2 a totally different **** necessary bad, but to those people (like me) that loved the first season would feel totally cheated because of its initial narrative, a family struggle between the decisions taken in letting themselves be part of the marvels that technology have brought to their lives (Ethan) vs. the consequences of dealing with the unknown. That family part has been scratched off completely, and the show can no longer deliver on that promise. If the producers needed to shake things up they should have ended Extant with a 2 hour Series Finale and spinned off under a different name taking place years later. This is not the first time we see a CBS TV show takes drastic changes for the worse season after season....Just look at what happened to Under the Dome.
