Psycho Pass 2 TV Review


Psycho Pass has been an interesting series, taking elements from shows like Ghost in the Shell and other futuristic settings and doing something fairly original.  

While the first was enjoyable and very solid as a contained story, season 2 is quite the opposite of that. 

We return to following the BSP but this time things have changed up since the first season. We now have new character, most who don't really get any time to become characters. As well as returning characters, some who are different now because of the events of season 1 but don't get any focus on them to make a difference. 

The villain in this season does have motivation, but it isn't even clear until the last episode of the season. Everything before that is different situations and scenarios that prove the system they live in is flaw, which season 1 had. Here it again lacks any sort of intelligence and meaning. While the situations themselves are just as intense and nerve wracking as you would expect, they all end up leading making the BSP look just stupid. 

In the first season they didn't exactly succeed at every situation but each situation was something new and different that they haven't had gone through at that point. But here they have been through those situations so it would make sense if they reacted like it. 

You can definitely feel the absence of Kogami in this season, especially because no other character stands up to do the things that everyone is afraid to do.

Season 2 lacks character development and energy that season 1 had, and learning about how this was essentially filler for a movie they were working on during this season makes it even more disappointing.
