The first two episodes of Bad Batch Season 2 feel like a bit of a regression from the strong ending we experienced in Season 1. The stakes are low, the world building is present but not a central focus, and there is little in the way of interesting character progression. On the positive side, we do get to see some beautiful bits of a destroyed Serenno, as well as more of Admiral Rampart and the clones who still serve the Empire, which helps to elevate an otherwise middling two-part episode.
