helix season 2If it is not zombies that bring about an apocalypse a deadly disease is the second choice in today’s television and film world. In this television series on SyFy a team of scientists are dispatched to Alaska to study what could possibly be the outbreak of a killer disease. It soon became evident that the disease was possibly man made and that a huge corporation could be behind it with the aim of reducing the population in order to decrease the stress on the planet. With this stress and the isolation, the team of scientists undergoes plenty of conflict and differences of opinion on how to go about things. In season two the team, under the direction of a new leader, travels to an island and find the disease there as well. Now it becomes a race against the clock, a preoccupation with immortals and sibling rivalry.
