Squid Game Season 2......
It's a good follow to the global phenomenon which is the first season, but I can't help but feel that there was something missing from this. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it as much as the first season with its quirky kids games, world building, relatable and lovable characters and also the worst kinds of people.
But after finishing all 7 episodes I felt that some story lines and characters where underutilized this season for the grand finale that is season 3 which will be premiering on Netflix next year. I get that the games are very important and that is the main appeal of squid game, but I would have loved to see more development from the outside people and see more of their progress rather than it being repeated over and over again "we need to get there", "we have certain number of days left", " I narrowed it down ".
The games on the other hand as well as it's players are very fun to watch too, the same as the first season but with a few twists here and there... this season is more action focused and darker than the 1st one and I love it! Though again after the credits rolled, I can't help but feel that this season is like a big teaser of Season 3 π
Overall it was a great watch! Good thing that we don't have to wait a long long time for season 3!
