Review: Gripping Story Telling

I actually read each individual episode of Available Darkness Season 2, but my review is really for the season as a whole. Season Two is strong. Everything coming together well with excellent pacing. The cliffhangers at the end of episodes are not as dramatic as in some of their other stories. But a cliffhanger doesn't need to be intense every time. Season Two is packed with action, suspense, and artful character building. A character that I didn't like much in Season One, Abigail, ended up being one of my favorite characters this season. Also getting to know Hannah (Hope) was done very well. Oddly I found that I didn't like John all that much by the end of the Season. I am trying to put my finger on what it is, and I think it is that in Season Two you see more of the monster that John is, while Season One he himself was just discovering what he is. Maybe that is why I liked Abigail and Hannah, since they were searching for who they are.Platt & Wright continue to become better at their art with each new story. An excellent setup for the final season of Available Darkness that I am looking forward to reading. Keep the stories coming.
