The Walking Dead: World Beyond [S02 Complete]

Nothing in the first two hours of World Beyond suggests the awesome possibilities of life in a calamity reality. Everyone wears some variation of fitted blue jeans and brown jackets — the Deadverse uniform — except for Elton (Nicolas Cantu), a quirkmonster in a tan corduroy three-piece. The main characters live behind walls on the old Nebraska State University campus. Security is maintained by guards like Felix (Nico Tortorella) and Huck (Annet Mahendru), very nice people untroubled by a decade of ultraviolence. In our own universe, teenagers obsess over mortality in all sorts of ways: heavy metal, supernatural chic, mega-kill video games, the flawed adolescent conviction that Punisher rules.The Walking Dead: World Beyond Season 1-2 Download

Heck: crucifixes! In World Beyond, everyone has lost everything, and I don’t think I even spotted one single tattoo.The campus colony has an alliance with the Civic Republic, a shadow coalition with helicopters and assault rifles. An envoy named Elizabeth (Julia Ormond) flies in for handshake diplomacy. She also brings Iris and Hope good tidings from their father, who disappeared into the Civic Republic’s headquarters. He’s a scientist working on some mysterious something. Hope worries her dad’s lost in the lion’s den.The Bennett sisters set off to find him, eventually, for reasons I won’t spoil that make no sense. They’re joined by preppie anthropologist Elton and Silas (Hal Cumpston), a big dude with sad eyes. You don’t get much sense of rich character dynamics ahead. Iris asks Silas what kind of music he likes. ″Different kinds,″ he says. I get that Silas is shy, but that vagueness extends throughout the whole ensemble. Felix and Huck are the adults chasing the runaways, and Mahendru at least has fun trying out a drawl as a strong, silent type. Sadly, she also has to describe herself as ″a strong, silent type.”
