Sixth Sense Season 3 (2022)

Ok, but needs adjusting

While I enjoy the concept of this show, this season felt a bit lazy. Also, I think the spy part got in the way often times. I think the director needs to let go of Running Man concepts like that. I also think it was better when they voted individually. Voting by teams made it less interesting. The voting booth was always fun at the end before.

One of the problems with this show in general is the struggle guests have when they come on this show. They get talked over so much and when they can finally get a word in they get dismissed right away. Most of the time guests can be altogether ignored for much of the show. Towards the final 5-6 episodes, Na Ra was just unreasonably snappy with the cast and guests. Mi Joo's thirst was making male guests visibly uncomfortable. Kim Min Gue was struggling with being a good sport. Yook Jae Suk is falling into the same pattern as he did with Lee Kwang Soo in Running Man by referring to Mi Joo's profession as being a comedian multiple times per episode. She worked hard to become an idol and during her active career as one. I don't get why Jae Suk feels the need to try and erase that. Just let them be funny people in their respective main careers.

If there is a 4th season I'll watch simply because I'm an OG for the show, but if it was announced that it wouldn't be returning for another season, I wouldn't be disappointed.

The lost spark?

I have to sadly admit, this season was not that great. While it had amazing and fun moments, I was actually bored at times. While season 2 was also a bit disappointing in terms of the places they went to, the dynamics of the cast saved it. Here, the lack of So Min as a regular member could be felt and it was just not the same experience.

The guests were also the issue - some had little chemistry with regular members, some barely got any screen time since they barely interacted with others (Chan Young, I really like you, but during the whole episode you said like 3 lines…). I also feel like the regular members were a bit too focused on themselves and did not include the guests in the conversations enough. What’s the point of inviting people, when you end up just chatting and arguing among yourself?

I also do not understand why they cut down the number of games, when they were always one of the most entertaining parts of the show. With how most of the members are rather bad in them, it was fun to watch them try so hard while getting poor results. I’d take more games and less mukbang screen time anytime.

That said, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. There were some moments I replied a number of times - the debate game in episode 2 being one of them. Still love the cast and their interactions and chemistry, but I think it’s time to say goodbye to the show. The format starts to get boring, they have too many food related places.

PS. They get bonus points for using Woodz’s music more than once as a background song.
