The third season of “Calmar Games” repeated the fault of the second – the entire final of the Nashmark

But many – including the most loyal audience – the reaction is different: disappointment, deja vu and the feeling that everything went there again. Instead of a tense final, the same problems as a year ago. And this is not only a subjective “expectation – reality”, but a very specific scenario error that spoils the end for the second time in a row.

After the success of the first season – dynamic, hard and built in a simple but catchy structure – the series decided to draw. The second season changed the rhythm strongly: the games were spread by various episodes, and between them – long -term breaks, side lines and the search for meaning in backstage.

The third season continues with the same path: six game tests are stretched for two full seasons, and the majority of the screen time does not go to the participants themselves, but for plot branches too parallel plot.

This does not improve the attachment of the public to the heroes. On the contrary, interest in the most important, solving in the game, solves. The pursuit of the detective for the organizers, the internal conflicts of the guards, the policy of masks – all this eats the timing, but adds no stress. Especially if you have switched on the series to check fatal tests, and not how someone goes along the hall with a flashlight.

Nevertheless, the emotional moments of the “game in the squid” have remained.

Against the middle of the season, the active “stripping” of the characters that the public managed to cook from the second season begins. But the presentation structure itself still does not allow to dive into the drama for real-it is to be smeared on the screen.

The makers said the third season will be the last. Formal – Logical: History closes, the tension must increase. But in the end many remained in the feeling that they could have ended stronger if they had not been afraid to act as simple and hard as in the beginning.
