Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 is like a malfunctioning hyperdrive on a rusty old spaceship. It's a sci-fi mess that makes Jar Jar Binks look like a genius. This show is about as funny as a droid with a faulty humor chip. I mean, come on, who thought it was a good idea to give these clones their own spin-off? It's like trying to make a movie about the adventures of a bunch of stormtroopers who can't hit their targets. Oh wait, they already did that!
The writing in this season is about as sharp as a lightsaber with a broken blade. The dialogue is cringe-worthy and the plot is more convoluted than navigating an asteroid field. And don't even get me started on the characters. They're as one-dimensional as a hologram. I couldn't care less about what happens to them.
The special effects are about as impressive as a malfunctioning R2 unit. It's like they blew their entire budget on the opening crawl and forgot about the rest of the show. The action sequences are lackluster and the CGI is as fake as a politician's promise.
But hey, at least the music is decent. That's about the only redeeming quality of this trainwreck. John Williams' iconic score is the only thing that kept me from falling into a deep sleep while watching this snoozefest.
In conclusion, Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 is a sci-fi disaster of epic proportions. It's a black hole of entertainment that sucks the joy out of watching TV. Save yourself the agony and find something else to watch. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
Overall, a MUCH better season than season 1. The stakes feel a lot higher, the characters aren’t as campy, and we don’t have to hear Omega speak as much. I really wonder if the entire crew will make it out alive by the time the series ends
Season 2 is just as good as the first one. Sure, there are (still) too much filler episodes, but I appreciate the overall direction this is going. The last few episodes are amazing and just like TCW did with the prequels, this (together with Mando) is beginning to fill in some of the questions about the sequels.
A mixed season. The Bad Batch always feels like it’s resisting greatness, and it’s the glimpses where it fails that keep me watching

Pretty much all of the episodes with the batch were useless, boring or annoying - especially Omega and her urgent voice.
But Crosshair's episodes, also the one with Rex were exciting and showed some of the bigger picture. It's unfortunate that those episodes are few and far in between. I'd wish for less episodes in a season, especially if it means less filler episodes and more focus on the broader picture.
