Incomplete and unfinished.
Squid Game S2 introduces a lot of new characters and new plotlines, but it doesn't do enough to make these elements fully engaging. Many of the new players are undeveloped, and their motivations are not explored as deep as they could have been. The pacing begins to slow down in certain episodes and loses some tension that made the first season so good.
…While the season offers some surprises, most of the twists are way more predictable then S1, making the shock value not as strong as before.
This season is still pretty engaging but it doesn't live up to the expectations set by the first season (but most sequels don't). It maintains the suspense and high-stakes but struggles with pacing, character development, and predictability. The season is solid but it doesn't offer the same level of impact or originality that made the first season a cultural phenomenon.
I think the people working on Squid Game realized how well the first season went so they're trying to drag on the plot for as long as possible. If you asked me, I wouldn't recommend this season to anyone, unless you're looking for a sequel of a sequel (season 3).
