Bleak.
This season felt like they tried to add all the good things from season 1..some stuck, some not so much.
We're not given a reason as to why he chose to push himself and leave Junhee's baby (after promising her she'll take care of her baby???), when he could've asked to end the game then and there.
And. Why. Would. You. Kill. The. *Main*. Character.
Make it make sense.
This time, his kindness lead to his downfall, had he listened to Frontman, he could've escaped with the baby. (plus, since they were ambushed by the pink guards there was no mention of 001 by ANY of the main characters, must've been a plot gap ig)
Gi-hun's child not wanting to hear about him and having to learn about his death, for lack of a better word, was boring. No build-up. Nothing. Just – "here, he's dead".
Netflix tried to tie all the loose knots into one to go on about their day. Granted, even if it was an opportunity to introduce the viewers to an upcoming Squidgame USA, the execution doesn't do it justice.
Anticlimactic and somewhat predictable as opposed to the first season.
The only good thing was guard 011 escaping.
Many of the casting choices for those 2 seasons was mortally questionable at best and criminal at worst. The captain (Oh Dal-su), players 100 (Im Jeong-dae) and 246 (Park Gyeong-seok) – the latter even more considering he was made up to be a loving father. I'm sick to the stomach.
TL;DR: season 1 >>> season 2+3
