A decent season finale. I was left unsatisfied with the ambiguous ending regarding Rose and her daughters relationship and frustrated with character decisions and trained personnel storm trooper aim. Something that seems to plague everyone in this series unless Rose needs to snipe someone off a moving snowmobile.

However the somewhat heart-warming plane scene and Mance saved it for me.

The end chase-survival sequence was outstanding. The camera work, choreography and Mance's desperation for survival was thrilling to watch. One of the highlights of the second season for me. Absolutely brilliant scene.

Overall the finale was decent and I do hope Netflix can renew the show for a third season.

I binged this show in a week.

1st season was not bad.

But this 2nd was damn good.

What a find this show.

Can't wait for the next seasons.

Don't believe in all the things you see in movies. Hitting a moving target that's trying to kill you under pressure complicates things. The Walking Dead has everyone thinking a gun is simple as point and shoot and you never miss. Especially when most of these shooters are just regular citizens and lack any weapon training.

I'm glad Black Summer eliminated that factor which adds to the fear factor when dealing with the zombies and makes this show awesome.

I am a sucker for oners and long takes. Abram Cox is a master of them. Anyone who complains about the lack of headshots has more than likely never fired a gun. Definitely hasn't fired under pressure of imminent death. Amazingly directed, great characters, conflicts left and right. On, and the zombies. I recommend it for any fan of the genre.

Every episode this season is better than the whole first season. The next season could have more episodes. Of course, with all sci-fi, some suspension of disbelief must occur or there would not be a story. I am completely pleased with the direction of the show, and this episode has me longing for more. Of course, I will watch both seasons through again!

The only thing I still don't like is that these people don't even seem to try aiming for the head of a zombie.

But I have to admit: This season was not what I was expecting! What a banger of a season. Really great stuff!

@xxxNomadicxxx: Thanks for pointing that out! But I think most viewers will still feel frustrated by the rather realistic style of this show.

I just binge watched this entire season in one sitting. Great work. Roll on Season 3.

A superb finale that I loved every inch of it with Loco moco zombies chasing super frightened people with super shaky cams, all to the extreme pleasure of my eyes. I love that sort of gut-wrenching suspense, thrills crawling on my skin while eyes are glued to the screen with a semi ironic smile on my face.

Sun made it to the sun! So happy for her.

Some dear "experts" tend to think that shooting multiple LOCO targets running at you faster than "Olympic" 100m (second runners-up) winners, growling and spitting two meters ahead, is easy! Ha!, if you're lucky you will hit them in the groin, stomach and a little higher, especially if you're down, busy pissing in your pants, while watching with extreme horror a horde of Crazy spitting zombies, basically Hulk-jumping towards you. So, the headshot stuff is for Comte de Monte-Cristo, while sipping some vine and not in Black Summer world where every minute of it makes you lose 1kg of your sweet weight.

Abram Cox also made it to the sun! Preparing us, the fans, for a super Loco season 3 with hopefully 12 episodes. Netflix, rolling on, green-light it please!

I thought the first season of "Black Summer" had a promising start, but then descended into disappointing nonsense due to bad writing. I said in my review of it that I hoped the second season could be more consistent, and I do think they managed that.

Set an undetermined amount of time after the events of the first season, and relocated to a snowy woodland area, Rose (Jamie King), Anna (Zeo Martlett), Spears (Justin Chu Cary) and Sun (Christine Lee) are trying to survive when a plane flies overhead, dropping supplies, gives them hope of a more permanent rescue. However, they are far from the only group to have seen the plane, and the dropped resources, and exact location of the airstrip are violently fought over.

If the first season started great and descended to awful, the second season is much more consistently solid. They haven't messed around with the format that much, the chaptered headed sections remain, as does the jumping between characters who eventually interact - however, there's a little more focus this time on showing the events out of order, which can be used for good story effect, for example, showing our heroes with a room full of bodies, before jumping back to their introduction, so we know they are going to end up dead, but not why. The big change is that it's much more one story, as opposed to how episodic some of the first season was - we do still have the detours, such as the episode that focuses on Spears meeting Braithwaite, but much more than previously it's all servicing the one narrative.

One thing that's a definite step up is in some of the close quarters action sequences, particularly the frantic Bourne-style ones that use very close camera work to give an idea of the kinetic energy involved.

It does occasionally stretch the bounds of logic, like others I wondered why you'd ever leave the lodge for just the potential of the airstrip, but still. Nice to see a show that takes on board its faults and improves, the same level of improvement for season three would really make for a quality show, but for now it's just a reasonable one.

This show went from a stupid mess in season one to a very good show in season 2 !

The cinematography is killing specially these long shots .. acting is very good , direction is awesome .

I really love this show I hope it gets renewed for a third season !

At first left a pretty bad review, rewatched and changed it! All in all good show! Hopefully we will get a third season. There is one of the best scenes of the whole series in this episode.

I kept asking myself why am I watching this ? No story no time off from growling zombies never ending guns firing totally depressing. No hero's no salvation this season is a clusterF. Stinks.

So you made from survival horror an action trash with splitted story instead consequentially one? Fear factor when aiming, guys if you miss = you die, that's only fear factor.
