Impulse - Season 2 [720p • FHD]
What sets Impulse apart from other sci-fi dramas is its refusal to "fix" trauma. Season 2 acknowledges that healing isn't linear. Henry’s PTSD isn't a plot point that concludes once she learns to fight back; it is a persistent shadow that influences every decision. The season expands this lens to the supporting cast as well. We see Jenna (Sarah Desjardins) dealing with the social fallout of her family’s secrets and Townes (Daniel Maslany) navigating his own anxieties. The show treats its characters as fragile human beings first and plot devices second. A Growing World
The second season of YouTube Originals’ Impulse is a masterclass in how to evolve a "superpower" narrative into a visceral, character-driven psychological thriller. While the first season focused on the trauma that triggered Henry Coles’ (Maddie Hasson) ability to teleport, Season 2 pivots toward the messy, dangerous consequences of that power. It successfully avoids the "sophomore slump" by trading world-building exposition for deep, often painful, emotional growth. The Burden of Autonomy Impulse - Season 2
The aesthetic of Season 2 remains consistent with the first: cold, bleak, and grounded. The "jumps" are violent and disorienting, lacking the cinematic grace usually associated with teleportation. This grit reinforces the idea that Henry’s gift is actually a curse. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer until it boils over in the final episodes, leaving viewers with a haunting cliffhanger that questions whether Henry can ever truly be "safe."
