Spoof Trailer: Squid Game Season 2

Was the acting as bad as this in the last one? It feels completely over the top (Hamming it up for the camera). The story is a little bit weak and predictable and doesn't draw you in. The guy 'Thanos' really ruins it and made me want to turn off with his woeful acting.

Initially I thought only seven episodes, that's not long enough but believe me the generic nature of this average sequel will have you thanking the makers that they didn't make any more.

Surely this will be the end of this franchise as it certainly didn't live up to the first one.

If you want to watch a 'little' bit more of the first one then you might enjoy this but without the mystery it felt like a waste of time.

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.

I think it should be allowed to fill the required characters just by writing blah, blah, blah blah blah, after all this second season seems to have changed the original premise to an endless game of yapping.

Other than that obvious things from the first season, this one won't fill up any plot holes, but to create more. The characters and situations are too similar to the original and expanding on the personal psychodrama doesn't create tension or intensity but anxiety and boredom.

The silly music, I'm guessing with the intention of making a scene campy only pushes it to corny.

There's almost no action, and I could compare this to a Hispanic telenovela.

Very disappointed.

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.
