Dark Eyes 2 is a lot more uneven than the first box set was. It doesn’t help that it seems as though the first box set was planned as a standalone thing and had to retroactively work as the introduction to a whole series of box sets. But aside from that, the stories themselves are uneven. Half of them are just fine, one of them is dreadful, and the other is excellent. All of them have superb soundscapes designed by Wilfredo Acosta and strong directing from Nicolas Briggs and superb acting from all the cast involved, but the scripts often let down the episodes and all those who worked on them.
