‘Dark Matter’ Season 2 review: As ‘Dark Matter’ explodes across space and time, bravura performances, sharp writing and beautifully detailed set and music design tell a story that is awe-inspiring, tragic and scintillating. Dark Matter Season 2 is in a much more interesting position than the first season left it. Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) spent most of Season 1 trying to get back to Daniela (Jennifer Connelly).
