Invincible’s second season picks up right after the end of the first, with Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) now Earth’s sole Viltrumite protector. It was revealed that his father Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) was a murderous imperialist hell-bent on subjugating the planet, stopping short of this goal only due to the love of his son which also left no choice but to leave. Invincible Season 2 Part One, consisting of the season’s first four episodes, is predominantly about change. We see Mark heading to college as he and his mother, Debbie Grayson (Sandra Oh), adjust to life without Omni-Man, aka Nolan Grayson. This theme, combined with an examination of the lasting psychological impact of the show’s horrifying battle in the season one finale, makes for a compelling character-driven continuation.
Invincible Season 2 on Prime Video has large expectations to live up to. The animated show’s first season was a bonafide success on numerous levels: seeing critical acclaim, viral moments born out of its at-times-shocking plot, and viewing figures that led to Season 3 already being greenlit. And to the shock of no one, this Prime Video original series does not suffer from a sophomore slump.
