	Media	Author	Review
		Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: It remains entertaining and unique as its character narratives become deeper and more layered. It’s not the same show it was in the first season, and that’s really a good thing."
		Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] returns with chilly new thrills but still carries season one's baggage"
		Beth Webb NME	"[2nd Season Review]: Bean’s campy villain keeps this steampunk thriller on the right track (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] was a show with style but nowhere near the substance of Bong’s film, and that’s still largely true."
		Melanie McFarland Salon	"[2nd Season Review]: None of the hard work going into this production is enough to counteract the grim depression saturating this endless trip."
		Ed Cumming The Independent	"[2nd Season Review]: Despite this competent ensemble (...) it’s not entirely clear how 'Snowpiercer' will maintain our interest without a descent into family soap (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"[2nd Season Review]: I was not a huge fan of season 1, but I definitely feel that season 2 is off to a much better start."
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"The result is watchable, but not much more (...) It’s revealing how little, and rarely, “Snowpiercer” really feels set on a train. One never senses the jostling movement of wheels over tracks:"
		Tim Surette TV Guide	"[It] has lost track of what made the film so special (...) It's a clearly inferior version of something that was already great and never needed to be revisited again (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Crump The Playlist	"The more additions Manson and co. make to 'Snowpiercer's architecture and world-building, the more ungainly that world becomes"
		Caryn James BBC	"Despite its minor lapses, though, 'Snowpiercer' is both a diverting and, as it happens, timely entertainment (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[A] tonally uneven, narratively confusing TV adaptation (...) A mess, full of half-developed characters, illogical plot choices and incompletely realized social satire"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"For about four episodes, 'Snowpiercer' veers way too close to becoming a TNT police procedural (...) As a season of escapist adventure, you could do far worse"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"'SNOWPIERCER' is a harmless summer television series and one that pales in the shadow of the acclaimed feature film that preceded it."
		Allie Gemmill Collider	"A frustrating exercise in adaptation (...) While 'Snowpiercer' is not necessarily unwatchable, but it’s certainly not easy to remain engaged from episode to episode"
