I rated the first season 8/10 but I give the second season 6/10. I was looking forward to the second season but I was disappointed. For some reason someone in charge decided to take a unique story and make it more like a hundred other shows by adding more gore, more romance, some foul language, and a lot more really really long "emotional" scenes that add nothing to the plot. Wasn't the first season a success? There's also stuff later on that makes NO sense... Without giving anything away, the prison is a mess and the last episode should be trimmed by almost half. Obviously they're setting up for another season but I have no interest at all in seeing any more.

I went into this with low expectations but watched it anyway because I used to play the original Warcraft and I was curious. I found myself liking it enough: some good main characters on both sides, and interesting plot. It got me rooting for two main characters especially but then one of them was killed off. Around that time I started getting frustrated with the story. Scenes drag out hoping to increase tension or anticipation but made me impatient instead and ultimately unsatisfied. The way the movie ends is especially frustrating...

I don't want to give any spoilers but I do want to warn viewers that this has a complete "to be continued" ending, like The Fellowship of the Ring. But in The Fellowship you know there are two more parts and the books are very well known. Where is part two of Warcraft? Did they make this assuming they would make another or was it aimed at just superfans of Warcraft? They could have made a more satisfying ending while still leaving the viewer wanting more, like countless other movies.

I would give this episode 0 stars if not for the other three contestants and THEIR WORK!
