Warehouse 13, Season 2 (2010)



Renegade agent James MacPerson has managed to breach Warehouse 13's security and liberate one of the criminals stored in the secret "Bronzed" section.  Who did he liberate and why?  And what agenda will this new player bring to complicate the continuing struggle to keep the world safe from artefacts?

Artefacts, in case you missed my season one review, are items that were important to particularly noteworthy people, and have developed inexplicable-to-modern-science powers.  Jimi Hendrix's guitar, for instance, has a hallucinogenic effect when played.  In malicious or unwitting hands, such items can be extremely dangerous, and Warehouse agents are the ones responsible for finding and safely securing them.  Without alerting the world to the fact that such things even exist.

Season two of Warehouse 13 is definitely a stronger offering than the opening series.  The main characters are bedded down and have fun relationships established between them.  The actors convey a real sense of camaraderie.  The guest stars are well chosen and set up fun new dynamics.  The writing team seems to have got a better handle on the characters and on the actors playing them.

If light genre TV is something you're looking for, pay a visit to Warehouse 13.
