Spoof Trailer: Squid Game Season 2

Let me make a different point in this review. There has never been any critique to the capitalist system on squid game, as some may have thought. Ruthless rich exploting people's despair and need for money, much like the current capitalism. The systems that forces us to fight against each other, the poors against the poors. The surveillance and control to manipulate us, and whatever you may see from this game. This was just a delusion. This season is so bad that it even ruins some of the meanings of the first season. There is indeed a huge blind spot in the plot. The protagonist Seong Gi-hun can't be so dumb. It is, make no mistake, but it cannot be this one. He accepts passively all the game to see people dying, losing the possibility to end the game only for a bunch of votes and HE HAS NEVER THOUGHT TO OFFER TO PAY OTHER PLAYERS'S DEBTS WITH ALL HIS DIRTY UNSPENT BILLIONS? This was a much obvious, but meaningful plot. Not apathy first and gunfires later but redemption for all. This is the squid game the world will never watch.

They didn't even develop the antagonists. THERE IS NO INTEREST ON THE RICH WHO ARE FUNDING AND ENJOYING SQUID GAME? No, there is no effort to explore this fundamental aspect, at all. Completely untouched and forgotten. This is even more disappointing.

The rest has been already said: poor plot, bad games, slow, redundant patterns, irrelevant stories, stupid final, and so many other flaws and missed opportunities.

The success of the first season seems now undeserved. The writers were not genius. It was all just pure, meaningless entertainment.

Season 1 should have remained untouched. After its worldwide success, meeting viewers' expectations was bound to be challenging. This new version suffers from too much dialogue, while the final shootout drags on. I expected more thrilling games-the tension just wasn't there. The police officer's search for the island felt predictable and drawn out. Thanos's performance comes across as melodramatic, and there's a glaring plot hole: why would they allow him to keep his pills while taking away the main characters' tracker? The characters closely resemble their season one counterparts, making the plot too predictable. The season lacked energy and impact. I'm interested to see how they wrap everything up in the final season.

Title: Disappointing Follow-Up to a Groundbreaking Series

Squid Game 2 falls flat in every conceivable way, failing to capture the raw tension and intrigue of its predecessor. The new games are uninspired and lack the creativity that originally hooked audiences, feeling plodding and unimaginative instead. The plot seems aimless, with character motivations that are muddled at best, leaving viewers scratching their heads rather than invested in the story. The once-brilliant commentary on society's ills is now muddied, making it hard to take anything seriously. Overall, this sequel feels like a cash grab rather than a genuine continuation of a compelling narrative, leaving fans of the first season deeply disappointed.

Like a lot of people my family loved the first series, we binged watched it and couldn't wait for the second season...

What a mess they have made of this!

It is nothing but filer for the most part, the story makes very little sense and the characters are unlikable at best.

I'm only being generous giving it a 3 as there was one episode were it somewhat resembled the first series, as in they actually played some games.

I actually said during a couple of the episodes at about halfway through.. "What a bore, there is nothing happening".

Even that last episode when there was some action going on it wasn't the action you want to see in Squid Games, more like the action you see in some B movie.

What a massive shame!

Give this a miss!

Compared to the first season, the secondary characters are very weak. The character Thanos is very annoying and his acting is also disgusting. We did not delve deeply into their story or get to know them well. The ending is bad and unrealistic. You feel that making the second season took them a maximum of a month. The games in this season are also bad, especially the second game after Killer Doll. I would have liked to see what happened to the main character's daughter, or for him to come and visit his daughter, but the producers completely marginalized the main character's family. In short, the second season is disappointing in all respects.
