How good is season 2?
The dramatic parts of season 2 are funny and commendable. Every contestant has played his/her role perfectly. It is more impressive that they all tried to make the situation really believable.
The budget and makeup help the show to be more realistic. One of the best things about the contestants is they often break their characters just like best friends are trying to keep it up together and help each other to perform better.
One of the negative comments about the show could be that season 2 often diverts from the scripted stories which destroyed all the legitimate tensions and thrills that it generated. The jokes are not well-translated, hence people who don’t understand Japanese may not find the show funny.
Last One Standing Season 2 is now available on Netflix.
