Necrotongue

I love how the creators seamlessly continued the storylines and the mood from the end of the previous season. The fantastic atmosphere, solid pacing, and intriguing new plot twists were all there. We also got introduced to new yet familiar characters. I was particularly amused by the "squatter" in Malcolm Murray's house.

I had quite an issue with Season 2. The pace that I was used to in the first season gradually diminished. It was annoying how the story was slowed down by various side-plots in which hardly anything happened. Some scenes felt like mere filler to stretch out the story. The second half saw a complete turnaround, the story picked up the right pace, the atmosphere full of tension was back and I finally started enjoying myself. Plus, I was very pleased with the well-crafted ending, which made me look forward to season three.

The creators managed to maintain the show's fantastic, dark atmosphere right until the end. The tension was well-paced, Eva Green was mesmerizing as always, and for the first time, Dorian Gray struck me as a genuinely interesting character. The bleak ending was the cherry on top, rounding off a truly impressive episode.

While this season had its slow moments, he second half is top-notch. This episode was packed with intriguing events. The opening scene set the mood perfectly, and the witch's mansion adventure was drenched in a horror vibe that contrasted nicely with the Creature's disillusionment with humanity.

There was a lot happening, so I had no complaints. The atmosphere was strong, the story had a good pace, and none of the storylines were boring. Malcolm Murray's transformation from a puppet to a one-man army was entertaining, the room of nightmares was intriguing, and the confrontation between the Creature and Lily was intense. What pleased me the most was the development around Angelique.

The story shifted back to the moors, and it's another five-star episode. The countryside air did wonders for the second season, picking up the pace nicely. The two most interesting characters got more screen time, and I have to admit, even Lily, who annoyed me in previous episodes, entertained me by the end.

I considered it my duty to watch Dukla 61, as I live a Hulk's stone’s throw away from the former mine. I was quite entertained by the first part. I managed to get over the obvious nonsense of someone just walking past the mine and, since his daddy works there, he suddenly starts working there, too. The actors obviously struggled with the typical accent of the region, and I was quite puzzled by some of the expressions. Despite these reservations, I was pleased with the first part of the film, and I definitely won't miss the second part. // What a huge disappointment. At times I felt like I was watching Cameron's Titanic. There’s no tragedy that can't be "improved" by a few action scenes. As if 108 casualties weren't enough, they had to turn it into a weird survival horror full of smoke, air hoses and murderous axes and pickaxes. I don't even want to write more about it. The first part deserves 4*-, the second one 2*- at most, so the overall result of 3*- is more than enough.

I was going to give this episode three stars, but Gray's ball saved the day. It would've been even better if Eva Green had more screen time to turn it into a total psycho-horror. Besides the ball, Malcolm Murray's reaction to his wife's death was hilariously cynical. I love that kind of dark humor.

This episode was a bit more lively, but I feel like the story is getting diluted with too many relationship dramas compared to the first season. This shift affects the tension and atmosphere, and I could definitely do without the philosophical musings and the steamy ending (especially with those two tragic posers). However, the intricate torture of Mrs. Murray was a highlight.

This one didn’t do much for me. The story's pace was unnecessarily slow again, with important matters pushed to the side, and I found myself getting bored. The relationship between Dorian Gray and Angelique was particularly irritating to me. I get that the show is trying to appeal to everyone, but I'm not really into watching two guys nibble on each other's faces.
