MEH.
In comparison to season 1, this one was really disappointing.
It had a lot of potential, but I remember watching this when it just came out and being bored. Its not a thrilling story anymore, moreso just "oh i know this and that will happen, gi-hung and his group cant die anyways because its all big actors and blablbla". It was just way too predictable and the characters were in comparison to season 1 way too shallow.
In season 1 Id be crying for every character, here id just think "oh well saw it coming" or i dont care enough about the characters.
And theres no excuse for that, as season 1 had the same amount of episodes and introduced + concluded the entire squid games, while this game needs 2 seasons to do so and doesnt deliver. Its still a fun watch, though predictable, but you have hopes theyd use season 2 as a great set-up for season 3 (spoiler: they didnt).
