You're saying we won't have to wait 2-3 years between each season? And they aren't going to split the season into parts? Unheard of in the streaming era.

Unpopular opinion incoming ⚠️

Unpopular opinionHorrible show that grabs your attention with TikTok/casino techniques and no substance. Even the director said this show is just a cash grab. It's a very long Mr.Beast video.

The first season was an excellent and incisive critique of capitalism.

The second season is a perfect example of capitalism subsuming all criticism into itself, and by extension both validating and undermining said criticism.

Agreed. Still gonna watch it though. Not because it's good, but because it's so easy.
