Snowpiercer season 2 is a wild ride. The first half of the season is more focused on the characters and their struggles, while the second half takes on a much larger conflict that will have a significant impact on the story. The show is all the stronger for it.
Season 2 of Snowpiercer is a wild ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. The show knows its target audience and throws everything at them in order to make sure they are entertained.
Snowpiercer is a series that is unafraid to explore dark and dangerous themes, and this season has no shortage of them. The show has also taken on a new direction, with a solo episode that takes place far away from anything you would expect from the series. This makes for an exciting and tense season.
The return of Mr. Wilford has once again returned the focus to the train and its mysterious rolling steel artery. This season, we see more of Mr. Wilford’s ghostly voice as he speaks to the passengers, providing some much-needed rationality on board the train.
The Big Alice premiere sees the 40-carriage long Big Alice attach itself to the back of Snowpiercer and assume control of the metal, snaked train before it. The narrative primarily revolves around him and his influence, picking up with a pulsating premiere that sees the 40-carriage long Big Alice attach itself to the back of Snowpiercer and assume control of the metal, snaked train before it.
Snowpiercer continues to move forward, with Wilford slowly gaining the trust of the passengers. However, another rebellion may be brewing, and Layton and Melanie must keep the train in check before it’s too late. ..
The season’s main focus is on Bess Till, the brakeman turned freedom fighter. She has a more purposeful subplot to keep her busy while more investigative busywork sees Tailie Lights have her fingers severed by an unknown attacker. ..
Snowpiercer is a great show with strong character development. However, other subplots are much more intriguing and provide a lot of excitement. For example, Ruth’s loyalty is tested when Wilford returns while Melanie makes a shocking discovery about the world that changes everything we knew about Snowpiercer and the direction of the show. This culminates in an well written solo episode that feels like it was heavily influenced by The Martian.
Season 2 of “Snowpiercer” is more creative with its ideas and blends that in with an action-packed cold-war between the two trains pitting the brains of Big Alice against the brawn of Snowpiercer. Because of this struggle, the earlier themes about class are essentially lost this time around. Given Bong Joon-ho’s film was really an allegory for inequality and social class, it’s perhaps a little disappointing to instead see this adaptation lose that initial charm in favour of something more befitting of Hollywood blockbusters.
Despite its flaws, “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy” does have a few nice moments that make up for it. These culminate in a fitting ending for the character, which leaves the door open for a third season. ..
Snowpiercer is a real thrill ride that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. While some episodes are a little slow and lethargic (namely episode 3 and 4), the rest of the show does an excellent job with its run-time. Make no mistake about it though, this is a show that works so much better as a binge-watch but as the show moves into its second half, the pace does quicken considerably which helps make it one of the most exciting TV shows on television today.
Snowpiercer is a wild and wacky ride that sometimes feels like it’s close to careering off track. The carriages never topple though, instead delivering an enjoyable 8 episodes with Sean Bean at his deliciously sinister best. This show has no right to be as good as it is, but yet, you’ll find yourself desperate for one more revolution when the final credits roll. ..
