    A lot to digest

    I'm not quite sure where I stand on this episode. I do think the game they played was interesting but I also do think it was another variation of the tag game they played last season. The clubs characters were alright. Besides Kyuma, the rest of that group I didn't really care for not because of what they did but because of the lack of time we get with them.

    On top of that, I do think this game should have ended in this episode. They already introduced it at the end of the first episode and for them to prolong until the third is kind of wasting time. The episode itself can feel like a drag but I don't think it made it that much of a problem.

    To me, the best part was Kyuma. He's a unique character that goes by a certain philosophy that had quite an impact in this episode. The first decision he made in the game was questionable but every decision after that was motivated off the fact that everyone in his group was willing to accept death and i'm glad they expanded on that idea and were able to showcase why they think that way.

    Looking at this episode, it's pretty much a coin toss. I do think the themes that were brought up were interesting and the game as well was entertaining but I still believe that it should have concluded in this episode.

    Easy win actually.

    The TV show creators actually overlooked a simple way to win.

    At 15mins left when they are all in despair, 4 people are inactive and they have 1 active (guy that was defending the base). The other team had 4 ppl left. Inactive touching active player shocks both.

    So, attack with all 5, 4 inactive take out 4 enemy with shocks and the 5th guy gets 10K points, easy dub.

    Not bad, Could of been better

    I am still trying to figure out wether season 2 is better than Season 1, my answer is Yes and No.

    I mean, action and brutality sofar upto episode 4 outways the brutality and Action that season 1 gave us, however, the first real game in season 2 took 2 and a half episodes to finish, which pretty much dragged with way to much talking throughout, with weird / unessary characters like the King of Clubs being naked through-out made absolutely no sense, and was distracting.

    The twist was pretty decent, and the overal game itself was okay.

    They could of cut the whole game to just 1 episode, considering each episode is over an hour long.

    I am just hoping they pick up the pace.

    Just a nice episode

    Yay, we had the chance to watch the first game of season 2! Of course, it was a really intense game and I really enjoyed it. However, I think the games of season 1 were kinda better. Moreover, I noticed that the kills of season 2 are way more bloody than the kills of season 1. The ending scene of episode 2 was kinda expected and I really can't wait to watch episode 3. So far, season 2 is really good and I hope the next few episodes will be super intense and full of plot twists. The filming location of episode 2 was only one and it was just okay. Last but not least, the acting is as good as it was, on season 1.

    An improvement...

    Episode two marks an improvement over the first one, although it's still not great. It takes ten minutes for anything to happen here, and some sequences just smack of padding. You never had this in season one which was straight in there with the exciting gameplay whereas at an hour in length these episodes feel like they drag somewhat. The good news is that when this game does get going, it proves thoroughly engaging, recalling the best of season one. I particularly liked the tactics and the back-and-forth nature of the gameplay as each team strives to outwit and thwart the other. As before, it's all about mental rather than physical agility.
