Squid Game 2 Review: Brutal, bloodier season 2 ends on a cliffhanger

Squid Game Season 2 is available for streaming on Netflix, continuing from exactly where it left last time. The game returns with more secrets, thrill, and meatier characters. With the second season already hitting some nail-biting highs, a vast majority of fans hailed the sequel for keeping up with the show’s reputation. Coming back to the storyline, Squid Game 2 revolves around Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung Jae), who returned to the game that nearly killed him.

Contrary to his character in the first part, Gi-hun could be seen as having a hardened personality with his sole purpose shifted to taking down the mysterious operation.

Instead of living a lavish life with his winnings from the competition, he has been spending a lot to find people connected to the games as he wants nothing but revenge.

With a lot of new insights and the show getting more violent and deeply disturbing, Squid Game Season 2 seems to have done a good job of expanding the themes of its predecessor.

Before we get into the reviews for Squid Game 2, we have to warn you of a few spoilers ahead! Eager fans wasted no time catching the second season as soon as it premiered on Netflix and took to social media platforms to share their reviews.

Squid Game Reviews

One of the fans believes the new season is better than the previous one, stating that it takes everything from the first part and creates it into something better.

A few others teased a messy twist coming in in the following episodes, where the player 456 aka Gi-hun could be killed off.

One added, “Squid game s2 episode 1 is absolutely peak. Best episode of the series already.”

“I just finished watching the #SquidGame2, and I have to say, I was really impressed with the 2nd game. The way all the teams supported each other was really heartwarming. They could have definitely improved the script and the ending, but overall, it was still a great show,” another review read.

Despite the positive reactions, not everyone was impressed by the second season. While audiences largely criticised the lack of newer games in the shows, some also called out the makers for a weak plot and unsatisfactory ending.

One wrote, “Everything just fell apart in the final ep & entire season is just a bridge to season 3. The writing was messy and characters make the stupidest decisions that make you wanna pull your hair out. Don’t be fooled by the bigger budget and set designs.”

Another added, “The plot twists in front kept me hoping that they would reveal the stories but I was so disappointed by the ending cause even then nothing was revealed…the games are quite dry and not engaging it’s highly focused on the leads so there.”

“Overview Ep. 1, 2, 3: Very engaging storyline. Ep. 4, 5, 6: The same old story begins they totally lose focus from the good part. Ep. 7: Started Interesting but not a kind of ending that will make viewers anticipate the next season,” a user detailed.

Season 2 shows Gi-hun paranoid and emotionally disturbed, living in complete isolation as he attempts to uncover the secrets of the game. He crosses paths with Hwang Jun-ho, a police officer who previously infiltrated the game to find his missing brother.

As the duo plans to take down the activities, Gi-hun is unwillingly brought back to the island, where things only get more brutal violent, and terrorising.
