No, it just removes the last game, the one called "sauid game"
I forgot why I didn't like the original until I was at the third episode. It's such an orgy of violence.
Lots of high tension mini-arcs where the payoff is just gunfire. So many characters are underdeveloped because they're grist for the slaughter mill. Everyone who has plot armor has to survive at the last second. The votes are always impossibly narrow. There's no significant trend or overall sense of self-preservation.
And as usual, everyone from North Korea is implied to be inherently evil.
Then they shaved two episodes off an already abbreviated nine episode season all so they could end it in a cliffhanger?
I'm just not feeling it, folks.
It literally felt like a rehash of the first one. I understand that that's probably the point of the show but it made it really weird to watch, especially since I rewatched season 1 just before season 2 came out. There's multiple times where characters even pretty much say the same thing as the characters from season 1 did.
I think that was the point though.
It's all a meat grinder and all the horse races are pretty much the same.
Then just don't watch it?
Context? I don’t care about spoilers, season 1 was not my jam and I’ll never watch season 2
