 ‘Special Ops’ Season 2 Review

Kay Kay Menon's Special Ops 2 is finally streaming on JioHotstar. Critics who have already finished watching all seven episodes of the series have dropped their honest reviews online. Special Ops 2 has been receiving mixed reviews from critics. With Season 2, Kay Kay Menon once again impresses with his supreme acting skills as Himmat Singh. Karan Tacker, who comparatively gets less screen time than in the first season, performs his part well.

However, critics did not like Special Ops 2's forced action scenes, which lacked natural flow. They also felt the new season relied more on visual style and action scenes than on presenting a gripping spy story.

Watch the Trailer of ‘Special Ops 2’:

India Today: "Special Ops 2 isn’t perfect, but it’s still a gripping, relevant, and often thrilling ride. The show leans into a more tech-driven narrative without losing the human drama that made the earlier seasons click. Sure, it could’ve been tighter, but if you’re into espionage thrillers with a modern twist and solid performances, this one’s worth your time."

Scroll.in: "Special Ops 2.0 is an ambitious follow-up that leans more on visual style and fight choreography than on pace and spycraft. Kay Kay Menon’s steady presence, along with strong support from the senior cast, give 2.0 a solid foundation, but the new season stumbles under the weight of padding."

News 18: "The first season of Special Ops was gripping. It did not let you blink your eye even for a second. Unfortunately, this aspect comes a little late in season two. With the introduction of several sub-plots, the show only gets a little confusing. It not only divides the attention of the viewers but also leaves them a little baffled at times. The action scenes in Special Ops 2 are somewhat underwhelming, feeling forced and lacking natural flow. The cinematography during these sequences is detracting from the overall impact. As it stands, the action feels somewhat disjointed, disrupting the otherwise gripping narrative and failing to leave a lasting impression."

MovieTalkies: "As a whole, Special Ops 2 is a smart, gripping, and entertaining ride that continues the legacy of the franchise with confidence. If you’re a fan of espionage thrillers with a strong emotional core and a clever villain, this one deserves a spot on your watchlist." ‘Special Ops’ Season 2 Teaser: Kay Kay Menon Returns As Himmat Singh for Neeraj Pandey’s JioHotstar Series (Watch Video).
