Netflix had posted a short recap on YouTube when the season released.

Cool but I just wanted to re-watch the first episode in it's entirety so went with that. In any case the first episode still stands as one of my favorite BM episodes of all time along with San Junipero (S02, E04). With the re-watch the entire 2 episodes back to back felt like a full movie!

Only the last episode had any potential this season. A lot of the appeal of BM was the shock factor. Now, most of the episodes are sci-fi drama. Hope it still continues, but it is now like any other show.
 
The Last of us : Damn, that was a banger of a second episode in Season 2. Boy, did they turn it up to full only after the first. I did not expect all the events to unfold so quickly into just the second. Sets the bar pretty high for the stuff to follow.

Dam that fire-thrower scene was something, I thought its over for him. (don't want to spoil it for others by including the details)

I was going to play Season 2 but out of curiosity watched a gameplay video on youtube just first couple of hours and then discovered the "Plot" you are referring. Even though I knew how it will play out in the show it was still very well done (You really feel the urge of taking revenge)

Watched "Alice in Borderland". I was not sure "Borderland" (initially thought it was something to do with military border) but turned out to be something else.
It was a good watch and we have a season 3 coming except.....

the way they ended season 2, I am confused. Everyone was possibly in purgatory (borderland) for a minute wherein the entire 2 seasons of games etc. happened but the end was sort of fairytale like except the joker card.
Wondering what the next season will hold.

Haven't played TLOU yet and guess it will be on the list for some time. I understand though that the Abby story arc is kept more mysterious in the game that players relate to and in the show, the character is too obnoxious, if you consider the cringe monologue as well.

The fight sequence had a lot of GoT vibes and it seems it was too much crammed into half an episode, just to provide the shock ending. The production quality has been great, but the revenge on revenge arc doesn't seem enticing, given the acting talent left and the lack of build up.

I know it is based on a game and the Tommy with Bloater scene makes you care a bit, but otherwise it is mostly a case of zombie extras on human extras, which takes away a lot of emotional connect. I suppose the show will be better if they go on a tangent now, like they did in E3 in S1.

Actually that character is so controversial and obnoxious, that Kaitlin, who plays Abby had to be provided extra security during the shoots.

It was obviously coming but came pretty fast.

In my opinion that was too much of a distraction which did not advance anything last season. For me it was the weakest episode. So I would hate it, if they did that.
