I don't think I agree with most of the people here, this wasn't bad at all, nor was it just a filler season for the conclusion in Season 3 (it was kinda tho). It was clear from the start, though, that the story was complete in the first season, although it was exciting to see a new development for this story. One could say the new games are even better than the first season ones, in my opinion they really were, but that weren't many of them (only two new rounds), so it was upsetting. New characters aren't as iconic as the first season ones, but you still get pretty attached to (some) of them... Acting was a bit cringey (won't give spoilers), though we did get some nice memes. Lastly, for me, what happened in the last episode compensated everything! Lots of plot twist, lots of action, lots of edge-of-your-seat thriller, but lots of things left completely unanswered. Yet-to-come Season 3 seems more like "Season 2 Part 2" than anything. They literally just forgot to film the rest of the series hahaha
Wonderful to have this as my last watch of 2024, so I'm really looking forward to Season 3!!! Hope it comes earlier than we expect
