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.
