Black Summer: The Cold (2021)
Season 2, Episode 1
7/10
Bleak, Thrilling and Inconsistent.
22 June 2021
The premiere episode continues Black Summer's hand-held cinematography with sequences edited together to look like one take. Therefor if you didn't like the shaky cam in the first season well you're SOL for the second season. That's not to say every sequence is like this and I think it will all come down to preference. I personally do not mind it.

The episode itself has a few sequences that are better than others. The standout for me was with Jamie King and her intense performance during a stand-off with someone she does not trust, for good reason.

Other segments still have characters making odd decisions while other segments have characters act more believable.

If you enjoyed the first season then you will enjoy the second.
