It’s no secret that I was never the biggest fan of squid games season one, but watching the second season, I finally came to appreciate the first season in its entirety. I strongly believe it should’ve been a show with a single season… but of course they couldn’t not take such a big opportunity to make money.

In the first season, everything felt so… well, real: the characters and their struggles were so intense yet realistic. Now the first mistake this season makes is introducing too much characters. How am I supposed to get invested in a character if their struggles are never shown? Secondly, the real world scenes of these characters were basically not there??? Why??? The second episode of the first season may have been boring to some but it was so freaking important for building the character and impact of their unavoidable demise.

Now, I cannot say that the cast isn’t immensely talented and that there aren’t some great cinematographic moments (not as great as the first season though) but it’s just… rushed.

Okay I’m tired of ranting about this show but just watch the first season and leave it at that. Otherwise the whole show will lose it’s impact and that really sucks.
