Over the holiday break, I watched the 2nd season of 30 Coins, the 2nd season of Sweet Home, and Silo.
30 Coins is just a ridiculous show. I forgot most of what happened in season 1. So I was kind of lost. And the show just gets crazier and crazier that I barely knew what the plot was. I find Spanish shows harder to follow because they tend to talk fast, which makes it hard to keep up with subtitles. I don't know how they managed to rope Paul Giamatti into this show. I don't know if I'll bother watching this show for the next season.
Silo was enjoyable. Somehow better than its parts. It feels like it's the most generic, post-apocalyptic sci-fi show. They even refer to 'The Before Times' which I'm pretty sure people only use ironically now because it's such a cliche. But, despite that, it managed to keep my interest throughout and I'm looking forward to the 2nd season.
Sweet Home is another one that I sort of forgot what happened in season 1. This is a Korean show where people start turning into monsters (not zombies). The first season took place mostly in one apartment. The second season was that awkward part of monster/zombie shows where they need to expand the world out and introduce the military. They spent like a third of the season wrapping up a few of the characters from season 1, then did a time jump, which introduced new characters. The time just was kind of weird. It felt like I missed a couple episodes, as if they didn't explain the gap well enough. And it kind of had a weird feeling where you didn't really know that some of the new characters are now going to be main characters, and some of the main characters just faded into the background. Overall it kind of felt incomplete. It didn't even really end on a cliffhanger. It seemed like there should have been a couple more episodes in the season. They said a new season is coming in the summer.
