O Submarino

Please Die defne. What a cringe character. It's unbelievable. Every episode one of the most cringe character. The world is going away and she's still on that stupid behave.

I had watched INTO THE NIGHT over a year ago and tho it wasn't the greatest sci-fi story it moved at a rapid pace and was not boring. I kinda enjoy End-of the World genre flicks if they're somewhat original in nature, or at least trying to be.

Anyway, that's the reason I enjoyed INTO THE NIGHT and kept the title in the back of my mind & waited for another season.

That's also the reason I tried out YAKAMOZ S-245. It was actually clever the way it was spliced together with INTO THE NIGHT but I didn't realize the connection until the submarine headed to the seed storage bunker in Norway.

So, I'm more intrigued now, and waiting for the next installment in the series from... whatever countries survivors shows up next.

The biggest plus, for me anyway, with Netflix, is the ability to watch more foreign movies. The Hollywood stuff is almost all woke crap or superhero sequels to infinity and beyond.

The best action flick I've seen on Netflix is a French crime drama called LOST BULLET. The best horror series I've seen is KINGDOM, from Korea. A lot of good stuff from Korea.

I could go on but the point I'm making is that the US of A studios are not doing it for me anymore. A lot of other people feel the same way I'm sure. Just look at the world $$$ market.

I'd rather watch a 2nd or 3rd world young-gun studio effort with some hungry talent on both sides of the camera then a tired-ass, re-cycled Hollywood snooze-fest.

It's a very unbalanced show. Most of the action, thrills and premise are really strong and well executed. Most of the underlying drama is unbelievably nonsensical and adds absolutely nothing to the show.

I've read this is a Into The Night spin-off and it makes sense, because it's almost the same history in a different scenario. Not as good as Into The Night season 1, but not as bad as the second season. It's a good show to watch, but it's avoidable.

I didn't realize until most of the way through that this show was set in the same universe as "Into The Night". Until that point, I was thinking that it was a copy of that show, except on a submarine instead of a plane! Once the events in this show crossed over, and I had the "Oh!" moment, it all made sense and enjoyed it more.

But that's the problem--the story felt too much like a copy (and the same soundtrack?). Similar plot resulting in predictable characters and predictable outcome. It didn't really make good use of the submarine as a plot device, nor explore different characters or dynamic. Instead, we're led down the same path, with same human motivations, with characters that are very thinly developed. The story tries too hard to make a plausible beginning, more so than Into The Night. And clearly, the show's creator has an axe to grind with NATO, so the story universe is focused in Europe, and by its extension, Turkey. It seems to be self-limiting, given that the sun's destructive impact (however implausible, as it may be), affects the whole world.

Still, I can't recall more than one show based in the same story universe but in different languages/ethnicities, so perhaps that's pretty unique. And, this essentially serves as the third season of Into The Night, so I am looking forward to the fourth season (whatever the title may be called).

I give it 6 because despite the ridiculous characters, this series still urge my curiosity and make me watch it till the end.

The series don't really have a meaningful new story (since we already grasp the story about the sun and everything from Into The Night). I just finished it and I can't recall a meaningful conflict, all I remember is the stupidity of the characters and unnecessary arguments here and there. We definitely can understand that everyone who's stuck in such apocalyptic situation won't be able to think clearly, but dang, the characters refused to listen to each other and it pissed me off, a lot. I tried to be neutral but i have to admit on the last several episodes, the scientist group are getting more annoying. For those who hates the submarines group in the first few episode and drop the show, i advice you to try finish the show and see how messed up the scientist group is. They're supposed to be smart but they refused to listen to other possibilities just because of what? Loyalty? They're too naive. It's okay to have several people in the group being that dumb, but the whole group? Come on. They also blamed everything on the submarine groups while most of "bad thing" that happened were mostly at their fault. Some people in the submarines group are annoying too, but at least they still have some logical people there, who's willing to listen to others.

So yeah, several "accidents" in the story can be solved, if only the scientist and the submarines willing to communicate with each others. But then again, we won't have stories if all of them are that smart. And maybe that's what the writers want? To make us frustrated? If that's the purpose, then good job on that.

The only think that push me to finish this was my curiosity, will the characters stay stubborn till the end, or there will be some character development? The answer lies in the last 20 minutes lmao. That's when they realised their stupidity, and that's when we get a glimpse of "new plot" for the next season/sequel. On the next sequel (which I guess the casts will be the mix between Yakamoz casts and Into The Night casts) i guess they'll finally start to figured things out together in more reasonable way.
