Part 2 has the same strengths and weaknesses as Part 1: great production, great actors, decent action and FX sequences, uneven writing, glaring plot holes, convenient plot devices, cliche drama beats, cringy dialogue, and an inability or refusal to provide any proper background while constantly teasing that the background is important.

Unfortunately, they also removed the most interesting aspect of Part 1, the setting. Now, we're in the present day, which seems infinitely less interesting. The historic setting also helped cover up or at least smooth over a lot of its flaws. Now, in the present, those flaws are exposed.

The plot still revolves entirely around the ML's and FL's romance which is still an odd choice for a sci-fi monster thriller. The ML still sweeps in to save the FL constantly. I can't count the times the FL gets lured, beat up, or kidnapped... it's definitely too many times for a short 7 episode drama. And they keep clipping in poorly edited flashbacks that don't convey the information we actually need for the plot to make sense. This was poorly done in Part 1 as well. We are still waiting for those Part 1 answers.

I hope Part 3 is better and gives us some proper background and some sense of resolution but judging by Parts 1 and 2, we will just be getting more of the same.
