I finally got around to watching these special episodes and I did quite enjoy them, they had included more about Syn and Nuer's story but I do understand that with them planning to do the show about Yu and Khondiao they focused more on them.
As always Zee and Nunew's chemistry is amazing and they did a great job, I liked that even though it was a short mini-series they managed to include some character development with the way both Kuea and Lian deal with the possibility of marrying and Kuea wanting to follow his dreams.
I enjoyed and it did feel like it added something to the main story which not all special episodes do, looking at you Deep Night special episode.
