Squid Game Season 2
오징어게임 시즌2Checked and re-read
Is it worth it
Seven episodes that function as a first act, not a season. The new players are thinner than the 2021 cast, the voting mechanic swaps suspense for debate, and the hero spends most of the runtime explaining things the show has already shown. Lee Byung Hun is the best thing in it by a distance. Worth starting only if you are going straight into season three, because on its own this is half a story with no payoff.
Ready to run for your lives? Player 456 returns for more heart-pounding children's games, facing deadly new challenges — but armed with a hidden agenda.

Slow start Episode 3, when the games restart. The first two hours are recruitment and setup with almost no forward motion.
