  "account": "Dark Matter season 2 delivers more ambitious multiverse adventures for the Dessen family and their associates, with some thrilling developments. However, the convoluted plot and multiple versions of characters can be overwhelming. The season picks up where the first left off, with Jason Dessen using the Box to travel to his own universe and essentially steal it. The core relationship of the main Dessens is maintained throughout the season, with emotional struggles and complex relationships keeping the story grounded.",
  "summary": "Joel Edgerton is a sad dad traveling across dimensions in the Apple TV sci-fi show's sprawling second season.",
