Without giving things away the game that contained a few sub games;) was laughably bad. I was actually laughing, and the final game was me thinking seriously I think this is actually a comedy :cry:
 
first season was bang average tbh once you got past the initial “oh this a cool premise”.

Lots of hammy overacting (seems to be a thing in a lot of South Korean film/tv) and meh characters.

Anyway watched the first episode of new season and it’s just the same old hammy nonsense so I’m sacking it off.

Probs the most overrated show out there imo

S2 was never going to be as good as S1 due to the premise of the show. Kinda like Prison Break in that respect. It was enjoyable enough but the fact it felt like 4 episodes dragged out to 7 kinda brings it down. 3 year wait for what basically amounts to half a season is everything wrong with modern TV shows. I never felt as connected to the players as I did last season either.

Wasn't a fan of s2 tbh. Found it too drawn out, Not a patch on original imo. I actually fell asleep during ep1.
Kill scenes dumbed down.i found myself laughing the. Effects were that bad. Possibly subs the way to go as dubbed is hilariously bad

S1 took a while to get going, don't know why people are whinging about the build up! But yeah, it did take longer for the S2 first game to start - but what an epic moment when we saw Red Light Green Light Girl again:)

I thought S2 was not as good as the 1st, but still epic in it's own right - they could have just had the focus on a new set of players and Player 456 trying to bring down the games as a sub plot, so to see it the other way around is more interesting. However, in going back into the games, all he has done is get more people killed.

And we had a trans character, Doctor Who take note this is how you do it. No need to put LGBTQ+ on a pedestal and ram it down our throats about how men are the ant-christ, just have one of these in a regular role!

Cancer girls dad - they didn't do too much with him in the games, but built up a big backstory for him, i hope that was guard 011 who cornered him and maybe just wounded him trying to save him? Seems a big build up to give a rubbish ending for the character.

They brought in some new stuff like the voting, people called this boring, but it was a good insight into people's greed, despite seeing people getting killed and almost dying themselves, they chose to continue for the cash. Some of the O on X players was brutal.

Didn't like the ending, bit of a downer, would have preferred 456 to make it to the control room and come F2F with In-ho or something, ending was just a bit too bleak :(

S1 was excellent, S2 was very good, looking forward to S3!

I thought it started well but once the games got going it felt repetitive. Still a good watch though.

And that's why they had to change the format a little, just seeing players entering the games > dying, for inf seasons would very fast become boring and repetitive. I thought this was a good approach and we still got to see the games!

Got to be honest I found it very boring, I liked the first episode with the Russian roulette. The other episodes had good bits but lots of filler where nothing really happened.

This sums it up, it looks like they'll try to milk the cow dry... They could have easily gave us closure in the 2nd season, if it weren't for those annoying fillers.
