While the sequels’ characters are different from the old cast that everyone knows and loves, they did a great job in creating an incredibly well-done mystery film that drew in many viewers.  

With the film taking place in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, it gives the movie a feeling of relevance to what is actually taking place globally. Despite the quarantine, an odd group of friends escape the insanity of the state of the world, and reconvene on a private Greek island, owned by Miles Bron (Edward Norton), the billionaire co-founder of technology company known as “Alpha”.
