This Amazon series got off to a big start last season with Julia Roberts headlining. Her character was employed by an organization that works with vets to wipe their minds clean from the traumas of war. Roberts has departed, leaving Janelle Monáe as the big name. After waking up stranded in the middle of a lake, her journey leads to a more in-depth investigation of the crucial chemical and the dangers it triggers. The first season moved slowly, even with the gradual revelations, there was never much dramatic tension…just lots of dialogue. Ditto this time around. Although there’s an undercurrent of potential tragedy, the lack of much conflict and profusion of talk keeps it from ever being more than a mildly interesting drama. (7 one-hour episodes)
