I was gonna be mad because the rich use the same games. Then I realized, people still watch survivor and other reality shows.

I'm not watching the trailer. Want to be completely surprised. It's the best experience.

And it can't be better than season 1 anyway.

I’m not setting any expectations for this. It’s one of those things where a show got so popular and viral that they forced them to shit out a new one even though the first one is best as a one-time story.

Just the premise itself is illogical, with the main character going back into the game as a player to destroy it from the inside? Dude could’ve probably done more trying to dismantle it from the outside with his money. He knows the old guy in real life now, so with enough money he can probably hire people to investigate and try to figure out where and how the operation is running. That and he was literally on his way to reunite with his daughter then suddenly decides he cares more about fighting back by choosing the worst way? If they wanted a new season, they should’ve cast a new character for the games, and maybe have the original guy work from the outside or team up with the cop.

How much money did he actually win though? At one point we looked up the conversion and it was only like $1 million dollars.
But I don't remember if we checked at the end of the season or earlier.

Spot on. I'm gonna check it out because the first one was great, but I don't have high expectations. I'm avoiding these trailers and stuff and going in totally blind.

It's the difference between "this story needs to be told" versus "there's money to be made." Ironic that one of the most incisive and fiercely anti-capitalist series in recent memory went back to the well purely to make more money.

The worst dad ever is back! LOL

I hope it'll be as good as the first.
