Season 3 is not needed.
Its been 4 years since Season 1 was released and 2 years since Season 2 was. Tbh, I hesitated watching the S2 after seeing new casts and Namtarn being out since I know her potential would be helpful for their mission. So yeah, because of that hesitation, I watched the second season just this 2022. And as an avid fan of the first season, I must say.. this ended not perfect but just like how it should be.
Before watching the second season, I have decided to read some reviews first and ngl, I already expected lots of mixed reviews. One of the things that I mostly read was about the neverending plot twists that makes the story more confusing and more broad. But I guess one thing is needed to be done to know if how S2 will turn out and that is to watch it.
STORY:
Story wise, the goal of Pang and his friends just continue from season 1, its just that a lot of factors do affect the execution of their plans and thats how the enormous amount of plot twists takes place. At first, I feel those twists is just something unnecessary to the point that once it started, it wont stop, just episode after episode, there will be something which would make you frustrated, confused and disappointed all at the same time. But once I reached the ending, I somehow understood why those happened.
One thing I was just so disappointed abt was the characters' potential. Some of them have improved theirs but some remained the same and seems like not been focused on. For example, Jack and Joe. Their potential might be helpful for the mission but they're just their seating, standing and just listening in their meetings. I just hope that at some point in the series, they gave a part where each of them showcase their potential in a single move for their plan. Just my opinion.
For the ending, personally.. I'm okay with it. But I think I'll agree with some saying that it could be better. The execution can be better but as someone who really did wait for season 2, the ending is quite okay. Again not perfect but I guess it just right.
ACTING/CAST:
Tbh, even if the set up, story line and the scenes are already completely messing up our minds, we cant deny that the casts did a great job portraying their characters well. For example, Nanon made me feel pity Pang for being used and being betrayed so many times. And as I said earlier, I kinda hesitated watching this series because of the new added casts but after watching, I can say that they added new flavor to the story and I liked it. Thanat, Tay and Namtan also made me feel the chills at their guest roles. I cant explain in words how these casts really brought both S1 and S2 to another level. Hands down.
REWATCH VALUE:
Honestly, for how stressed I am after watching both seasons, I think the rewatch value of this would be lower. For me who dont usually rewatch shows, this show would definitely be in my "not to rewatch" list. Not because its bad, but I think once is enough. I might be rewatching some particular parts in particular episodes but will not watch the whole series once again.
I know we all have different perspectives in terms of rewatching shows and I do respect you for your own opinion but for me this show is just for once only.
OVERALL:
I still prefer the first season over this one even though I know that S2 is a continuation. The execution of scenes and the "wow" factor was lessen plus I think too much plot twists is not for everyone. But still, it gives you the "The Gifted" vibes you're being up to from season 1 and the flow of it was I think still suitable from how s1 ended. The ending, was just right.
Is Season 3 needed? Based on how it ends, I think Nanon was right after saying that how it ends it already enough. The ending might scream for more but I think, Season 3 is unnecessary.
Ps. Lets give some rest to Pang and Friends 😅
