Dark Matter season 2 explores technology and morality

Apple TV’s science fiction series ‘Dark Matter’ enters its second season, continuing the story of physicist Jason Dessen and his family as they navigate the complexities of the multiverse. The second season explores themes of good versus evil and the psychological consequences of using ‘the Box,’ a technology used to navigate different realities.

Actor Dayo Okeniyi, who plays tech entrepreneur Leighton Vance, describes the series as a cautionary tale regarding technology and its impact on the human condition. He suggests that the characters' experiences with PTSD from using the device can serve as an analogy for the long-term mental health effects of social media.

Season two follows the Dessen family as they attempt to settle into a quiet life, only to be forced into flight by unimaginable forces. The narrative also tracks characters Amanda and Ryan in their attempt to find their way home, while Leighton Vance pursues a vision of creating a perfect world.
