I watched Season 2 over this past week. Overall, I don’t quite like it as much as the first. The running gag of Olaf fooling everyone with a flimsy disguise has worn thin by now. I’m not that taken with the darker tone, either. Now perhaps it’s just the writers staying faithful to the source material — I haven’t read the books yet, so I don’t know — but it rankles, regardless.
Those nits picked, the acting and direction and dialogue remain amazing.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
I only watched season one, but I didn’t care for this series. Olaf feels like a fan trying to do an impression of Jim Carry and failing. Pretty much every aspect of the movie works better in my opinion.
Sometimes I think you want to fail.
You’re just denying the fact that when Jim Carry’s Olaf is disguised, he’s genuinely frightening, but in this he’s just a silly TV villain. The kind whose “evil plans” of wasting water without paying for it are foiled weekly by those darn kids.
