"Blood Sisters S2 (2026).

"Netflix, stop giving my people money to make drabs like this".

If a Nollywood show is returning for a second season, it is not because they took enough time to make it so that it is good, they did it in haste, for a quick cash grab and it showed. It was a diabolical watch to say the least.

The first season had a very high production value, with a cohesive story tackling an important social vice. You could clearly see Netflix's print on it. But the first sign of disaster for this was the lack of the usual "tudum" intro. It is remoured that Netflix has been quietly scaling back on sponsoring original content here, and it was so obvious.

The story continues from S1, as Kemi and Sarah are facing consequences for their actions, making this a court and prison drama. The production value was gutter quality, The opening shot of the court house, has a Eko Judicial High Court sign, and in the same shot if you observe, There is a "Faculty of Engineering" signpost in the same shot , and the prison walls was the same as the courthouse, so probably a hotel block in the uni.

It was riddled with so many plot holes, that i lost count and the acting were so amateurish even from established members of the Cast which the shamely tried to cover by saying to many unnecessary swear words..f bombs were flying left right and center.

They tried to Hollywoodized, and do OITNB, which doesn't work well in a Nigerian context and failed terribly at both, their worst crime was hinting at a possibility of an S3, but they will be actually crazy if they do it. The final straw of how rubbish this show was, was when they had a typo in one of the episodes title cards 😩, i just burst out laughing. There wasn't a clear thinking person anywhere around this show, not in production, and certainly not in cast.


A miserable watch.

There’s a lot wrong with Atla Season 2, from the directors changing a lot in the story, to the new cast’s and the fight scenes.

Ten episodes completed and they haven’t given any answers. They’re just dragging it with different stories out until Season 5.

You dey try sha. The only way I'm seeing any of these Nollywood slops is if I'm paid to see them. Even the hyped up The Polygamist from SA, though they make better movies than us, I'm not seeing it.

I am two episodes in despite starting some days ago.
Honestly it's been pretty boring that's why u haven't completed it.

ATLA cartoon season 2 was my favorite season of the cartoon. This live action adaptation is so boring that I've been struggling to complete 2 episodes for 3 days now...

I want to drop this show but I can't because I've watched three seasons.

Season 5 is the final season. There's no way they can wrap this up and explain everything with just 10 episodes.

FROM might not end well unfortunately.

Before you watch Netflix ATLA S2, you need to accept that this show will never be as good as the cartoon and adjust your expectations.

Season 2 is much better than season 1.

The visual effects and the pacing have improved.

Team Avatar is better, their relationship is stronger. The acting is better and they have way better chemistry here than they did in season 1.

Toph Beifong is perfect. The actress is brilliant. She got everything right, down to the mannerism, attitude, personality and even the voice.

Season 2 still got pacing issues. Some episodes move really fast and some are slow and boring.

Some dialogues are cringey and some of the fight scenes were poorly done.

The main plot is barely changed. Everything else is loosely adapted.

The production design is much better.

Basing Se feels like a real city. They built sets instead of filming everything with CGI like they did with Omashu is season 1.

I have watched all 7 episodes.

I went in with low expectations because I didn't like season 1 very much and I wasn't disappointed.

I'm glad season 2 is better but there's still room for improvement.

I will give it a decent 7/10

Lol, I don't know why the show runners gave him that weird look. I'm like what's going on here. 😂

They probably did that to make him look more menacing. It's a wild dragon and has never been tamed for almost a century. I mean, this same dragon killed more hopeful Dragonriders combined than all other dragons.

So, Rhaena is pretty much stupid for trying such.
This is a major reason why dragons are bonded with a rider at a young age. Not a wild animal that has always roamed free till adulthood, a stark difference from other Targaryen dragons.

It's a different take from the books but I think I preferred Nettles better.
Oh I actually think it is actually a great decision. There are just too many family members to keep up with in my opinion for normal viewers. They handled it well. Let's just see how it goes next episode. I just believe it will be filler

S2 being better than S1 is not a compliment in my opinion. They left out so much. The boulder arc where we meet Toph was just so random when it was one of the best character introduction in animation 😪. This season was still trash. It was so unfunny and cringe- esp the conversation they were trying to make everything deep when it wasn't 🙃 they made sokka so unfunny, anytime he tried to be funny it felt so performative.
The worst thing about the show was the acting. Aang's acting seemed like a donkey was giving a script and tried to act like an emotional human- that kid can't act to save his life 😔 it seemed like he was pushed to start acting because he just looked like Aang which now he doesn't look like him anymore.
The cinematography that was so terrible also carried to s2 too.
The only reason it seemed good was because of the source material.
A clear 4/10 and a 2/10 if you're comparing to the animated show

The worst thing about S2 is the lack of action.

I can count on one hand how many action scenes they did.

The little action we got was poorly done and too short.

Toph's introduction at the arena was wrapped up in less than 3 minutes, they didn't even try to make it entertaining. It was too boring.

There's an action scene in the cartoon where team Avatar break into the Basing Se palace to see the earth king.
They did it by fighting all the soldiers and palace guards.
It's one of the best action scenes in the cartoon.

In Netflix ATLA, they break into palace by sneaking in.

It feels like Netflix was deliberately cutting down the action to save money or something. I don't know.

Some of the best action scenes in the cartoon never made it here.

The worst scene for me was the Aang vs Azula fight.

It looked so cheap compared to the cartoon.

I'm worried about season 3 because if Aang vs Azula wasn't well done, I wonder what Aang vs Firelord Ozai is going to look like.

If I start comparing the Netflix show to the cartoon. My rating will be much lower.

But I tried to remove my mind from the cartoon when watching the show hence the 7/10 rating.

I still think it's better than S1.
I mean which part of S1 do you think is better than S2?
I can't think of any.

FROM S4

I think as at this point they are just winging it. While I'm emotionally invested in this show and will want to see the end of it, I have a feeling it might tank. The reason; the surpossed clues are too far and apart for a casual watcher to denote. (You don't expect a casual watcher to remember the clue that happen in a certain episode of say the 2nd season and what not).

5th season incoming, all we have is speculations and theories of what will be and what is. While this final episode had some 'wow' moments, it's just there is still lots of questions still unanswered.

Starting with

1. If Fatima knew she could subdue Smiley, while did she wait for Marielle to be harmed before springing into action.
2. If the Boy in White could speak without being cryptic, why hasn't been speaking like that to Victor? Afterall, Sophie /The Man in Yellow is very straight forward in her/his negotiations.

I except absolute carnage in the opener of the fifth season as there are no talisman anymore save maybe the one in the clinic. At least a quarter of them should die cos they have been leaving in peace to long to know how to function in chaos and confusion.

I hope Ellis doesn't go into the Daemon Targaryen mode of last season of sleep walking and daydreaming because of the lose or should I say how Fatima left him.

Overall 6.5/10

Through his persistence over the years, I decided to continue attack on titans which I started in 2024 and only watched 6 episodes of s1 to see what the hype is all about.
I'm glad I started again. This is the best story series of all time hands down not just in anime but in storytelling as a whole.
At this point I don't want to watch the S4 part 2 yet cos I know I won't get anything like it again.
Gracias
