The Accident Season 2 Review
In the second season of the emotionally charged series The Accident, things come to a head, and revenge is taken that ultimately leaves every character changed in some way or another. Emiliano and Charro find themselves locked in prison, but the rivalry is rife as everyone reels from the heartbreaking loss from season 1.
Season 2 mostly focuses on the consequences of said action and results in viewers finding themselves in the midst of a very intense action sequence that feels mostly unnecessary. Charro and Emiliano feel like they come straight out of a superhero film. Charro, especially, can stab a man in prison, escape from said prison and stay undetected for days on end until he ends up getting shot.

The series doesn’t hold on to the emotional heartbreak from the last season and is mostly about a bunch of men with big egos shooting one another. Although there are some heavy emotional moments here and there, I found the season to be mostly all over the place. And sure, as they say – hurt people hurt people. But this feels like a huge exaggeration on many levels.
I will say that I enjoyed the first season because an inflatable balloon floating off into the sky with children in it is both amusing and horrifying, but this season is just a whole lot of nothing. It’s not thrilling, and neither is it really tense in any way. It’s just a lot of people making big talk without anything believable or memorable taking place. It’s just a lot of cliches strewn together, and some new characters hardly have anything to do, which is also a bummer.
The sheer number of characters in the series is also such an annoying addition. The problem isn’t that we are shown their grief. The problem is that we don’t care. The drama and crime elements don’t mix too well, and it’s difficult to care about some of the characters’ struggles because bigger things are happening elsewhere, and these people aren’t shown well enough.
I think, mostly, this series didn’t really require a second season. There’s nothing to discuss, and although I understand the exploration of grief, nothing is thrilling about it to hook us to the premise. This could also have been a movie for all that it offers us, resulting in us watching a lot of unnecessarily dramatic moments that have no reason to exist.
Final Thoughts
There’s no reason for The Accident Season 2 to exist. It’s not thrilling, and neither is it particularly believable as things happen without rhyme or reason. Some characters, who are provided a lot of bravado, end up not really mattering to the overall storyline, which is so disappointing. Overall, I don’t know why you’d watch this. It’s fine, but nothing worth spending 6 episodes of your life over.
