Part 5/8:
What stands out in the second season is its deliberate pacing. While the first season had extensive lead-ups to the first game — taking over 40 minutes to establish context — this continuation further emphasizes the buildup. Some may perceive it as drawn out, but the payoff is evident in how tension and atmosphere are crafted before diving into the brutal game. This investment in character and plot allows viewers to engage deeply with the story rather than merely awaiting action sequences.
