Tarantino would be proud of the final episode

 

[Beerfish]

Finished it. Enjoyed it. Odd ending though.

 

[DIG]

Those 2 scenes in episode 1 were so intense. I was going to binge more but needed a break!! Great television.

 

[raskolnikov]

Done with the first ep.

Are people watching in Korean with subtitles or dubbed English?

I’ve settled on Korean, the dubbing sounded so jarring to me.

Yep. Korean.

 

[Beerfish]

Odd ending though.

Ah ok. There's one more season. That makes sense. There's also a teaser in the credits that I missed.. which wasn't overly interesting.

 

[raskolnikov]

I had to laugh at the 119 on the back of the ambulance in the second episode.

guessed the ship captain was bad 2nd ep, wouldn't surprise me if he's the creator behind it all

Dubbed cos my wife won't do subs.

Right on Mrs C. ️

 

[raskolnikov]

I can't remember. Was there this much humour in the first season? This season seems almost like a comedy.

Korean, AND I read Proust in the original French.*

I've read Dostoyevsky in Russian.

I've listened to Chumbawumba in the original Northern.

Just finished watching the season, i enjoyed it. Obviously it isn't nearly as good as season 1, the writers had to expand a show that was only intended for one season.

The whole boat looking for the island subplot was boring as shit, and some of the characters were even lamer than the first lot.

But still i liked it, and i'm glad the next season will be less than 12 months away.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Finished it today. There was too much dialog in some episodes, it was a little predictable and the ending was a bit odd - but it was mostly very good. Korean with subtitles is definitely the way to go.

Spoiler

I should have probably picked the boat captain as a double agent. And maybe they could have had an unknown game contestant as an insider - to create some twists. We knew the Front Man/player 001 identity from season 1.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

felt this season was a lot more calmer and albeit a bit boring especially when the players were progressing through the games and the shoot out with the goons in the latter end of the episodes. but still exceeded my expectations and was a solid season.

 

[Jatz]

Finished it last night.

Clearly in the minority but it felt underwhelming to me.

Spoiler

The shorter episode run was a bit disappointing. Feels like there was far more filler this time around. The best parts are the actual games but didn’t feel like we got enough of them this season due to how it ended.

Don’t regret watching it but don’t think it was as good as season one.

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

It was good, not as many memorable contestants, a bit more filler and plot holey, didn't do a go job of creating tension apart from the early pregame episode.
The last episode rubbed me completely the wrong way, just a real dumb b-grade gun fight against storm troopers.

 

[Beerfish]

Sounds like some people just wanted a rehash of the first season? I'm glad they didn't do that. I thought they did a really good job of not completely ****ing it up (like I was expecting). I found it engaging the whole way through. Looking forward to the final instalment.

 

[JackFlash]

If ever a series should've remained a one off, then this was it. It labors on a bit and the music is very distracting.

"one two, one two". almost wished they shot me instead,

I can't even find the posts i was referring to now. Maybe I imagined it..
