Ren Watabe holding a machine in 'Monarch: Legacy of Monsters'
Whether it's in a dystopian future with a community trapped inside a large silo, or on Earth as it is visited by an alien species, or inside the labyrinthine corridors and strange rooms of Lumon Industries, Apple TV has delivered some of the very best modern sci-fi available on streaming in the past five years.
Not a streamer ready to rest on its laurels, Apple TV recently debuted the long-awaited second season of a monster-sized sci-fi hit from 2023: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Returning on February 27, the second season is now four episodes in and continues to impress, as the MonsterVerse franchise evolves into an unstoppable hit. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, a"certified fresh" rating of 79% marks a small decrease from the incredible first installment, but most are still full of praise for one of Apple TV's most ambitious series. The critics' consensus on the site for Season 2 reads,"Against all odds, Monarch continues to pack a striking gut-punch of action-drama by embracing its Legacy of Monsters' talent and leading with a cast of rich and complex characters." Starring father-son duo Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell, Pachinko star Anna Sawai, Flatliners' Kiersey Clemons, and more, Season 2 is going from strength to strength as each episode passes, with the upcoming Episode 5,"Furusato," sure to be an unmissable halfway point in this gripping second season. A synopsis for the upcoming episode reads,"In Santa Soledad, Titan X becomes a target for Apex, forcing Shaw and the Randas to infiltrate the covert experiment."
