Hasson continues to find new ways to show Henry’s frustration at the lack of answers in multiple facets of her life, and the more that “Impulse” embraces that her trajectory is going to take her far away from Reston, the more compelling the series becomes. Through the opening episodes of Season 2, the show posits that although Henry is the only one who’ll be able to will herself to control her jumps, she might not get there without being aimed in the right direction. But the show’s first 10 episodes showed enough patience to move Maddie from that world that the relative stakes of getting busted at a house party don’t stack up to evading potential murder charges or pursuit by an unknown number of international jumpers.īuilding the world of “Jumper” back from essentially scratch has given “Impulse” the chance to fashion a different overall concern for the series. And Hasson and Missy Pyle (as Henry’s mother, Cleo) still have an incredible rapport in the less-fraught moments of their on-screen family interactions. Henry’s would-be stepsister Jenna (Sarah Desjardins) and their friend Townes (Daniel Maslany) are still Henry’s go-to confidants, even as her world is starting to unravel thread by thread. With Clay’s father now dead and the narrative attention shifting to Clay’s brother Lucas, the beginning of Season 2 finds the show in an awkward transition period. Much of what tethered “Impulse” to a high school drama structure was the continued presence of Henry’s attacker Clay Boone and the rest of his family.

A hovering fellow jumper named Nikolai (Callum Keith Rennie) could be a guardian angel or malicious tracker. The start of the “Impulse” sophomore season finds Henry confronted with an even bigger world far outside the confines of her small town of Reston, New York. The arrival of her ability coincided with an assault perpetrated by one of her classmates, and dealing with that traumatic aftermath, Henry’s jumps - however unpredictable - usually brought her back to her bedroom, a place of comfort. What made Season 1 of the YouTube Premium series an effective introduction to the story is that it didn’t burden Henry Coles (Maddie Hasson) with having to shoulder infinite possibilities that came with jumping from place to place.
IMDB IMPULSE SEASON 1 TV
There’s almost an unspoken mandate contained within the premise of “ Impulse.” Center a TV show around a young woman who is grappling with her newfound ability to teleport and there’s a certain promise to follow wherever that power will lead her.
