The core mannequin offered you with the compact square-with-rounded-corners, TV-shaped case, an enormous date at 12 o’clock, and a contemporary Powermatic-based calibre, whereas final yr’s S01E01 Test Screen confirmed how playful the format might be with out shedding seriousness the place it counts. The new Multifort TV Big Date Special Edition S01E02 retains that momentum.

The color is vivacious, however the grey-PVD case mutes the general palette simply sufficient to learn as design somewhat than curiosity.

For motion, the script stays the identical.
