    I think the issue is the underlying content.

    The first season/game is about people forming bonds and trying to survive. People do bad things, but their motives are understandable.

    The second season/game is just depressing. Maybe it’s a good story, but you’re really not rooting for anyone and it takes a lot more effort to watch/play.

      For TV, I think it would have been better for that thing to happen at the end of S1… Although I’m not sure it can fit in S1.

        Yeah it wouldn’t make sense in season 1 due to the time skip.

        Personally, I stopped the second game part way through and just looked up the story cause I knew it was going to be a drag. I don’t mind games that are sad, but it just felt like it went out of its way to be depressing. Figure that’s the same issue with the show.
