Season 2 lacking everything that made Squid Game such a good series.

I was so hyped for Season 2. Squid Game was one of my all time favorite Korean dramas.

Season 1 had everything.
* Good acting
* Deep stories behind contestants
* Good characters with good sympathy characters and villains, like you could really feel what they felt, the despair and sadness and anger with the villains.
* Mystery about literally everything

Season 2 ruined pretty much everything about all of this.
* The acting was so bad from many of the characters it became annoying.
* The stories about characters was shallow and overall so boring.
* Characters was just so boring, there was no good villain (thanos was a joke)
* Literally zero mystery, it's a pure open book about everything which just made it boring.
* The games? Like what, zero suspense, I did not get drawn into a single game compared to first season where i felt i was in the game myself.

I don't know why they decided to just go in 180 degree about everything in Season 2.
It felt like a bad ripoff where they wanted to involve everything "new" to cater to young people. Like bitcon, so many young shallow characters etc.

I have zero hopes about the last part will save this horrible season 2, I am just so sad they ruined the series this bad.
