Special Ops Season 2 Twitter review: Fans binge-watch Kay Kay Menon's web series, Goosebumps from the very first episode
On July 18, Special ops season 2 started streaming on JioHotstar. The much-anticipated web series, created by Neeraj Pandey, came a week after its previously-announced release date, July 11. Special Ops Season 2 stars Kay Kay Menon, Prakash Raj, Tahir Raj Bhasin and Vinay Pathak in leading roles. Bhasin plays the main villain in the web series. Let's see what social media users are saying about it on Twitter (now X). 'Special Ops season 2 is the first sequel that hasn't disappointed,' wrote one user. Another wrote, 'Special Ops 2 is here, never knew this would become so Special…' 'Goosebumps from the very first episode — what a masterpiece! Watching on my 100-inch screen at 3 am felt like I was inside the world itself. Special Ops: Season 2 is mind-blowing. And when I heard them mention my hometown, Raxaul border — I was completely shocked!' came from another. 'Just Completed the Special Ops S2,every time I think of the show it puts me in a deep thought about the precision & meticulous execution of respect to our Unknown heroes those who lay down their lives to protect our nation from any potential threat & upholding sovereignty,' posted another user. 'First episode down & it looks like special ops 2 wants to tell us to save India's scientists & researchers,' another wrote. As expected, viewers are highly impressed with Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh. 'Watching Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh is just a therapy session for me,' posted one fan. Another fan wrote, 'Just watching Special Ops 2 and I have to say - Kay Kay Menon is in a league of his own. The intensity, the depth, the effortless screen presence — Himmat Singh is iconic because of you.' However, not everyone was impressed. One user thinks it has not lived up to expectations. 'Special Ops 2 is not even close to Special Ops 1.5. They wanted to make something like 'Tehran' but ended up making a 3rd copy of it,' the user wrote. Mostly, Special Ops Season 2 has received positive reviews from critics as well. The OTT release 'isn't perfect, but it's still a gripping, relevant, and often thrilling ride', Shweta Keshri wrote on India Today. Koimoi calls it a 'no-nonsense sequel that doesn't fail' while Bollywood Hungama praises Kay Kay Menon for delivering 'what could easily be considered the finest performance of his illustrious career'. 'It entertains, often grips, and at times surprises, but rarely astonishes. The show's biggest weapon is its cast, especially Menon and Bhasin, but its weakest link remains a tendency to oversimplify complex stakes with convenient resolutions,' Archika Khurana wrote on The Times of India. Rishil Jogani wrote on Pinkvilla, 'Despite minor clichés and a slightly sluggish middle portion, the show's scale, action, and performances make it a gripping ride. With a phenomenal finale, Special Ops 2 warrants a definite watch.'

Stranger Things teaser promises explosive finale as fans worry for characters' fate
Stranger Things is returning this November for the fifth and final season, with fans worrying about the fate of some of the characters Netflix just dropped a teaser trailer for season five of Stranger Things, airing almost a decade after the very first episode was released. The almost three-minute-long trailer made fans panic about the fate of a beloved character as they rushed to social media to beg for their safety. Fans noticed a lot of crying in the trailer, making them question who will be meeting their demise. The trailer starts off with the main characters waiting around in what appears to be a bunker as a voice rings out: "Burn commencing in five... four... three... two... and one," before writing appeared on screen telling fans the show is coming out in November. One scene shows Lucas Sinclair, played by Caleb McLaughlin, crying as he sat by a hospital bed occupied by a unconscious girl - who fans are convinced is Max Mayfield (played by Sadie Sink). Later in the trailer, Lucas was seen protecting what could be the same person, now awake and rocking a hospital gown. In the previous season, Max was left comatose after a harrowing encounter with Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), and despite Eleven's (Millie Bobby Brown) efforts, she remained unresponsive in a hospital bed as the season concluded. Another showcased Dustin Henderson (played by Gaten Matarazzo) kneeling by Edward Munson's (Joseph Quinn) grave, which was vandalised with the words 'Burn in hell.' "This thing," one voice said. "It ties us together. Forever." Fans were over the moon with the trailer as they rushed to the comment section to share their excitement over the upcoming release. One user said on Netflix's Instagram post: "Oh my gosh. Goosebumps," while another posted: "Please, leave my favourite character alive. my man Steve Harrington." Another repeated to themself: "Steve is safe steve is safe steve is safe steve is safe steve is safe," while one worried fan commented: "When Steve is hugging Dustin that looks like something bad just happened." The much-anticipated final season of Stranger Things is set in the autumn of 1987, and according to the official synopsis: "Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. "But he has vanished - his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. "As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. "The final battle is looming - and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone - the full party - standing together, one last time."
