January La Première - Snowpiercer (Season Two)

Back in September (2020) I smashed all of Snowpiercer season one as part of my #COVID-19-BINGE-FEST.

So with Snowpiercer entering its second season, I now have another show on my radar/dance card.

TNT took no time renewing this show for a third season. It was renewed ahead of episode one getting just over a million live viewers.

TNT has a couple of other shows on my radar, Claws ending this season with it's fourth season and Animal Kingdom returning soon and ending next year (filming pending) with its sixth season.


Snowpiercer returned with a bang. 

Melanie manages to cut Wilford's uplink to Snowpiercer's systems and discovers that it is snowing outside despite the temperature being too cold for it. 

Snowpiercer, now too low on power to move on its own ever again, is forced to turn over a list of supplies to Wilford before he starts the trains moving again and Layton works to maintain order onboard by reluctantly declaring martial law while Melanie is captured and reunited with Wilford and Alexandra; Wilford demands that Melanie surrender Snowpiercer but she refuses to cooperate. 

Layton leads an invasion of Big Alice that is repelled, but they manage to capture a hostage, Kevin, who claims that Wilford can restart everything even if everybody else dies in the process. 

Wilford decides to disconnect from Snowpiercer and let the passengers die with Alex complying after a moment of hesitation. 

However, Melanie had planted a bomb on the connecting mechanism, destroying it and permanently linking Snowpiercer and Big Alice much to the admiration of Alex; Wilford is forced to start the trains moving again.

The season opener has been meet with critical acclaim whilst I am sure in Australia Netflix are happy to have another week to week drama joining Riverdale.

Like all those shows I discovered back in COVID times it's weird going from binging to discovering a show week to week. However this show has lot going on so I think for now, weekly episodes suit me fine. As above Snowpiercer Season Two airs week to week on Tuesdays in Australia on Netflix.
