A disappointing "Bad Seed Returns"

The Bad Seed Returns (A+E / Lifetime)

"The Bad Seed Returns," the Lifetime sequel to the 2018 film "The Bad Seed," has more than a little in common with "Orphan: First Kill."

Both feature killer kids (sort of) and importantly, both mark a return to character for their original leads. Isabelle Fuhrman returned to the "Orphan" prequel to again play Lena, an adult woman posing as a child in order to find shelter and maybe love. And Mckenna Grace of "The Handmaid's Tale" steps into Emma's perfect, probably patent leather shoes once more for "The Bad Seed Returns," a direct sequel to the Rob Lowe-directed, made-for-TV remake of the 1956 film, which was itself an adaptation of the 1954 novel and play.
