The second installment of this distopian series was really stellar. Yes, it was very depressing. Yes, it was tense. Some of the moments felt forced but it never bothered me. I was drawn into the conflicts and the games. I especially enjoyed the parallel of individual character development and growth AND the slow uprising of the world. Beautiful visuals, music, and art direction. Can't wait for the next part this year.
