There were also favorable reviews. Variety is a worthy follow-up that expands upon the theme of the previous work. It delves deeply into the exploitation of capitalism and modern-day class inequality, and adds freshness by adding new participants and Pink Guard perspectives. Sharp social criticism raises expectations for Season 3" and Independent UK "It has expanded successfully beyond its first season, and has the ability to twist stories at important moments while describing the worst characteristics we have."
