Plot: Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 2 continues the adventures of the Nublar Six as they fight for dinosaurs on land. After foiling Daniel Kon’s plans to mind-control the dinosaurs for his gain, Darius and the others keep their unspoken commitment to protecting these creatures from being mistreated and exploited
Season 2 of Chaos Theory was Great
Pros: I’m glad this season was continuing where last season had left off. I liked a lot of character development for Brooklynn. The tone remains persistence. Zayna was a welcome addition to the “Nublar Six” and How it balanced dark tension & suspense.
Cons: There wasn’t any appearance of the mysterious woman. It again failed to advertise this move & most of the ending was about build-up for season 3.
