Couldn’t find an existing thread for this, but there are 5 episodes already with the finale set to hit next week.

So far, I’d say the first 3 episodes were cute and harmless ‘member berries, but it really got fun with episode 4, and then episode 5 totally blew my mind. Amazing direction story-wise that they went with. Really looking forward to the finale.

I don’t want to criticize it as a whole quite yet, considering there’s still one more episode coming, but I’m thinking this could have worked even better as a single-film rather than a six-episode series. But maybe I will feel differently if I revisit it after it’s all done. Overall though, as someone who was 8 years old when the original came out and made a big impact on me, I’m glad they decided on this storyline for a continuation, even if it took a minute to really take off.

The show wrapped up this morning.

I enjoyed the show overall and felt that the format suited it nicely overall.

I struggled a bit with episode 4, but episode 5 and 6 (the finale) were both a lot of fun and the story wrapped in a very Santa Clause way.

Anyone else watch the second season?

Finished it last night. Like the first season it was a pretty interesting idea but would have been a better 90-100 minute movie. When it dragged, it dragged worse than the first season did. But also like the first season, it had a much more fulfilling and engaging final two episodes.
