notice the subtle pink limo....

No idea why they releasing the last 6 eps in June. The hype and enthusiasm had been killed when I found out that news late last year.

I'd rather June than December...

I'd rather June than December...

Guess so, but it's just annoying when Netflix film b2b and then split them into seasons

[AFDogs]

Pretty much already forgot most of season 2 (even though I thought it was great). Thank goodness for YouTube recaps

Hyped as **** for season 3 and glad we didn’t have to wait 3 years for it.

That trailer got me fired up

 

[peternorth]

Be the looks of things 456 lives

 

[Cleavy]

Still waiting for the annoying Shaman lady to die.

Be the looks of things 456 lives

Spoiler: the potential final conflict

presumably it's 456 vs 001, otherwise what's the point?

 

[Cleavy]

2 more weeks...

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Nice weekend to watch a few Squid episodes

 

[Chief]

I believe they prefer the name "Squidisodes".

 

[crafty_bernardo]

You're not Chief for nothing

 

[peternorth]

I believe they prefer the name "Squidisodes".

U r WOKE!

 

[Ry009]

Didn't mind season 2, but holy shit that was terrible.

Spoiler

Almost everything felt like it was for nothing in the end. If there was good writing I could cop it, but inconsistent actions by the characters and a REALLY lazy plot device. How this took them years to write I don't understand.

And the cheap high profile cameo at the end to reference the the rumoured US spin-off was a bit on the nose too.

So rushed and lazy.

 

[Cleavy]

Spoiler: thoughts on the ending scene...

Spinoff?! yuck!

 

[Cleavy]

****ing VIPs

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

****ing VIPs

They reminded me of the generic evil white henchmen found in bad Asian 80s kung fu/action films

 

[Carbine Chaos]

****ing VIPs

I found them more tolerable this time around, but still not great.

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

Solid 5/10, wouldn't watch again

 

[Loonerty]

Probably gonna go down like Heroes for me.

Amazing first season, forget the rest. Season 2 not worth it when season 3 doesn't stick the landing at all.

 

[Saints4ever]

I thought it was really good and enjoyed it.

Thought hide and seek was epic.

Disappointed to see the negative views I really thought season 3 hit.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Thought the Shaman lady in the Hide and Seek game was the highlight of the season.

The long haired VIP managed to not be overly obnoxious, but they still made me cringe on the whole.

They did Dae-ho so dirty imo.

Have plenty of other thoughts that I'll post soon.

 

[The Terrible Thinker]

Thought it was OK but I guess the concept only pays off once in season 1.

I don't mind the game show / reality TV concept version though. That could work as a regular TV series with a bit more refinement.
