In the second season of SkyMed, the adrenaline feels even tighter, the drama dives deeper, and the characters truly keep us coming back for more. Here are my thoughts.
If you loved the first season of SkyMed, get ready for an exciting ride, because Season 2 soars to new heights! This Canadian medical drama on Paramount+ beautifully mixes thrilling action with heartfelt character development. While it might not reach the iconic status of ER or House, it comfortably finds its place among other beloved dramas like Transplant, Nurses, and Grey's Anatomy.
Season 2 brings more depth and sharper storytelling, focusing on the lives of the medics and pilots who work Canada's northern skies. The series doesn't just plunge us into emergencies—it gives us reasons to care about the people behind the scrubs and flight suits: characters like Hayley (played by Natasha Calis), who returns after recovering from a medical procedure but is caught with an addiction, past trauma, and a potent new romance. Crystal (played by Morgan Holmstrom) tries to balance her career as a flight medic with the pressure of being the first Indigenous med student in her class, all while uncovering more about her family's past. Tension builds between Nowak and Tristan, while Lexi faces a significant change with promotion and a new relationship.
With many standout episodes this season, like "Code Silver," where Hayley and Crystal are taken hostage during a demanding, tense transplant standoff. And "Before Sunrise, After Sunrise" forces the team to face the fallout of a tragic patient death.
The action is balanced with emotional storylines, and those quieter, more intimate moments give the show its staying power. Watching these characters bond, laugh, clash, and yes, even play volleyball in the snow, makes SkyMed feel grounded and refreshingly human.
The writing isn't always perfect. At times, the dialogue leans too heavily into exposition, and some plotlines feel a little too predictable or PSA-like. But that doesn't take away from the show's heart. The performances, especially by Calis and Holmstrom, stand out, and SkyMed continues to build emotional connections that leave you wanting more.
Overall, I give Season 2 an 8/10. If you’re looking for a captivating medical drama filled with action, romance, and great representation, SkyMed is definitely worth watching.
