However, in addition to unraveling the mystery of what caused the destruction and trying to prevent it from happening, they must also avoid division agents, who are tasked with maintaining the timeline of any attempts at change.

To say too much about the broader plot runs the risk of spoiling, but fans should rest assured that it's all as convoluted, violent and shocking as the first season, albeit with all the new classic features of time travel spice to the added story.

Indeed, for the umpteenth time, it cannot be ruled out that in fact, the fabric of the story of this second season has many similarities to the story formula in the first season. Although of course, the development and division of the character portions are slightly better, and the time setting is a good refresh, and the weight of the story is denser with deeper exploration of the characters who in the first season functioned more from behind the scenes.

But overall, this second season still presents a slick and fun fantasy story that is just as interesting as the previous one, the humor insert doesn't disappoint either. Coupled with a very curious cliffhanger, further confirms the solidity of the second season of this series. Hopefully, in the third season, the presentation will not deviate too much from this already successful formula. Thank goodness it's even better.
