Watch To Reduce Your Survivability Skills

This is a sequel to the Zombieverse, with returning characters from the storyline. However it is getting sloppy and terrible with the scripting, that the writer needs to relearn how to write creative writing for scripted series. And do not compare this with The Great Escape, they are totally from a different set of crew and broadcaster. At least compare with The Zone: Survival Mission, since every episode is made into a survival game match, and that iconic cheap highlighting UI across every element. Nonsensical drone shot out of no way at times, that doesn't highlight anything. Zombieverse series wasn't exceptionally great in the first one, but it is still better than this second season. Characters in this season, tend to become much more dumber and lack cognitive thinking during situation. It was pure screaming, shocked, awe, and stupid zooming in.

The plot could have been planned better, if there was already decision for this to be spread across two seasons. No point to have them escaping from Seoul, then going over to Jeju Island only to get back to Seoul again. It is already mentioned that the state of Seoul is under lockdown and everyone have to escape to the island. It is great that you want to have another set of team entering, as though there are multiple similar survivals that escaped from Seoul. However don't create a situation where both teams have a disparity in their decision making, it just make the whole story sloppy.

When you have terrible cast such as Defconn and Siyoung in the team, who basically doesn't do much than to create senseless decisions. It is conflicting if the whole team have had grudges with Hong Chul already in the first season, then the whole team goes the whole turn of getting remorseful over their death? Didn't one of the NPC also have emphasised on your decision whether to kill them if you had the chance, this should have been a good judgemental point on where the team wants to lead. Other minor roles, such as Sae Ho, Eun Bi, Seon Tae, can be kept as guest NPC in single episodic role, but not as a full character. Good partners that can be kept, are DinDin and Tsuki, DEX and Code Kunst, Patricia and Jonathan. These are the ones that keeps the show entertaining.

And what is with that last episode of revival, I rather it be that characters come and go as their adventure continues. If you had the antidote, would you rather save or duplicate for mass manufacturing to cure the country? And now that they have Hong Chul's blood in them, do the revived have an immune towards zombies? You had to go through that swaying bridge battle, when you could have just disconnected the bridge? This is the same as boarding the train scene.
