3 years after the first season was released, Squid Games season 2 took the world by storm with its sudden but impactful release. The show follows up on a cliffhanger left in the end of the last season with an introduction of old beloved characters like Seong Gi-Hun and Hwang Jun-Ho (played by Lee Jung-jae and Wi Ha-Joon) and an introduction to new characters that have received a mixed response, with some people liking them and others not.
Receiving a score of 82% on Rottentomatoes.com, critics and viewers both seem to share the same belief that the first season had more depth and surprise than the second. The second season, however, had scenes where it captivated viewers with intense and suspenseful moments. The plot was like the first season, repeating the main plot of Squid Games season 1, but the second season had more focus on voting and trying to stop the games. The new characters introduced created controversy between fans, with some people enjoying the new personalities and others seeing them as one-dimensional.
The new characters, new games and action-packed plot make Squid Games season 2 an exciting, suspenseful and enjoyable experience for everyone.
