I thought season 1 was decent enough for Netflix slop. But then season 2 went full Red Dawn where the Soviets invade the 1960s US and these superheroes try using time travel to stop them. Like really? In 2022 (or whatever year it was) we’re doing evil Russians invade the US for reasons?
There’s even a plot line where some of the characters join the Civil Rights Movement, doing sit-ins and protests while getting beaten up by cops and white people. “We totally won’t use our superpowers to kill white supremacists, but we will use them against people trying to liberate Americans from capitalism.” Just bleh.
Oh yeah, I remember just stopping the show like midway through episode 2 and then not thinking about it ever again.

I noticed that, too. I finished season 2 because I had already started it, but haven’t resumed since then.
damn, that’s wild
