The highly anticipated Korean series ‘Squid Game” season 2 premiered on Netflix on Dec. 26 and reviews expressed disappointment with the show.
“Of course, he must return to the game in order to destroy it, but ‘Squid Game’ takes its time getting him there. It takes its time with everything, stopping and starting as if in its own game of Red Light, Green Light,” it said.
It added, “So it is in a new context and with major expectations that the most-viewed Netflix series returns to our streaming queues. All that hype doesn't do the new season any favors; it is underwhelming and underdone.” The review stated that “season 2 mostly offers cognitive dissonance and frustration. The second half morphs into a fairly generic action set piece, crescendoing to a bitterly underwhelming climax and a conclusion that offers no kind of closure. It gives the distinct impression that director and creator Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote Seasons 2 and 3 as a single story and just chopped it somewhere in the middle to prolong the series for another season for Netflix.
