The Great Escape: Season 2 (2019)

The second season of The Great Escape is excellent. The crew has really blown it out of the park. The world building is expanded and many cases are built on what happened in the first season. Yet, at same time, if you are new viewer, you are not missing anything. They also tried to enhance the plot of the show, bringing in some wild cards such as the possibility of not escaping from the complexes or that one of them could "die". This makes you feel some sort of urgency and you root for everyone even more, than in the previous season.

I have to comment on a significant improvement of all six of the hosts and the way that the crew matched their evolving abilities. Some of the episodes, although still about escaping, are quite different from the typical "let's empty all the drawers and find the password". This also makes the ones, who were struggling the last season, to be the key players in some episodes and it really shifts the dynamic in the team from episode to episode.

The bromance is still amazing, as well them being quite the role models in displaying friendship and the fact that being scared is okay.

What a triumph this season was! Amazing, well worth my time.

the best feature this season had was the possibility that they won't be able escape and a member could "die", that made the whole show like a live live action movie~ my favorite ep would be the zombie one, it was better than a movie.. I also liked the one that was like the drama the guest. they should do another try with the prison escape... oh, and the last one with the psychopath killer was cool too, though I wished the killer was more psycho :p

the 2nd season was even more fun and exciting than the 1st one, so I have high hopes for s3.. everything improved and it was already awesome~ this show is built around the cast and their individuality, so I prefer it if they keep the guests to a minimum..
