The Platform 2, the follow-up to Netflix's critically lauded dystopian Spanish thriller "The Platform," falls well short of its enormously successful predecessor. The audience is, at best, underwhelmed since it falls short of expanding upon the concept of a dystopian jail with a descending food delivery system presented in its predecessor. The sequel's narrative begins without much of a synopsis of the previous section. In the movie, a novel food delivery system is presented, in which each prisoner only receives the meal they have chosen, which they are free to exchange with other prisoners after giving their permission.

But when issues begin to surface one after another, this structure soon begins to collapse. The Platform 2 also makes extensive, sometimes jarring use of ideas from capitalism and Christianity. The master is sometimes referenced to in the bible as "the Messiah," and there are 333 floors altogether with 2 convicts, making 666—the feared number in Christianity—shown repeatedly.
 
The movie deviates much from the excitement and tension of its predecessor and lacks well-developed secondary characters as a result of these overdone allusions and what appears to be hurried writing. The previous movie did a great job of humanizing its characters, something that The Platform 2 finds difficult to do. social media users have properly brought attention to the film's shortcomings, which range from poor character development to uninteresting narratives and an extremely disappointing conclusion.
