Into the Night (II) (2020–2021)

Warning: Spoilers
If you've ever had the hankering to watch a group of thoroughly unlikeable people snipe at each other, betray each other, scavenge for supplies, snipe at each other some more, and kill a whole bunch of other people whose lives apparently mean less than the main characters, than this is the show for you.

The premise, that daylight is now deadly because the sun is flooding earth with gamma radiation, killing everyone caught outside, is both stupid and the logical equivalent of Swiss cheese. First they suggest that being around during the day is an instant death sentence, regardless of where you are when the sun comes up. That is to say, being underground doesn't help you. Except when it does because the plot demands it, but with some vague explanation that being underground AND underwater is the trick to survival. This is pure nonsense, you might as well just say that ghosts are killing everyone, but that kind of logic abounds on the show.

Plot conveniences abound, from materials and information they require magically presenting themselves just in time to plots against others that require their opponents act in the dumbest way possible always working out...somehow. The episodes are so repetitive that you could practically pick an episode from the two seasons on Netflix at random and see pretty much the same show.

I wouldn't bother investing much time in this.
