Snowpiercer season 2

 Mr Wilford has boarded the train, and it'll have hell to pay for!

In the second season of this excellent series, Mr Wilford, played by Sean Bean, has arrived and the passengers will have known it.

Driving the Big Alice maintenance train that clamped on at the end of season 1, a real divide is now taking place on Snowpiercer, as the big inventor and self-proclaimed messiah of mankind has returned, and he is not happy about what Melanie and Layton did.

As a struggle grows between both trains, melanie however discovers the Earth seems to warm up again, and she leaves the train for an abandoned research station to launch climate probes.  In the meantime, Wilford makes his move, and takes over his train again, splitting up the leaders of Snowpiercer and reinstating his rules.

Now, I must say, it was a bit of a mixed season.  The first half felt really slow, saved by the awesome performance of Sean Bean (that "moral dyslexia" speech!), until the sixth episode that chronicles Melanie's story off the train.  When we board again, it picks up in pace and intensity, as the storylines get together to the pick up moment at the end of that sixth episode, and what happens immediatly after.

But in the end, it remains a strong series with some very unexpected plot twists and betrayals, as the political engines kept grinding throughout the season...

Now to wait for the third season to see how it all fans out!
