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.

In a sense, haven't we kinda did?

2021's 1st season was far from 2024's 2nd season.

And the 2nd season can argued as a split of part 1 away from part 2.

In this case, i'd argue it wasn't much anything special.

Good slop tho...

Technically they did split season 2.

For real! Season 2 with 7 episodes was quite short!

Yeah the creator decided to split it because it was a good point to stop at episode 7. If I recall correctly it gave them more time to finish up the second half while also finally releasing something. I might be wrong in those exact details but I do know the creator split it. They filmed both "seasons" at the same time.

I was totally thrown off by the ending of S2. I’m hoping S3 is the end of the story. I really don’t want this to drag on for too many seasons because there’s a ton of room for the story to go off the rails in the pursuit of more seasons.

It is the end according to the creator. For one he said he's been miserable making it lol

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.

Kinda spoils the idea of seasons 1+2, doesn't it?

Oh well, content creation machine goes BRRRR.

Ah, nice! Really enjoyed S2 and want to see how this series ends
