Netizens review: Squid Game Season 2’s poor conclusion infuriates viewers, who label it a “complete waste of time.”
Squid Game S2 dropped this week, but instead of wrapping up its gripping story, it ended rather upsettingly; fans took to X to vent their disappointment
The long-awaited Squid Game Season 2 landed on Netflix this week, only to leave fans seething with disappointment.
What was expected to be another gripping installment of the South Korean dystopian thriller instead sparked outrage, with many branding the season a colossal waste of time. Furious viewers flooded social media, venting their frustration on X over what they deemed an underwhelming and infuriating finale.
describing season 2 as “half a season” and advising fellow fans to wait until season 3. “Just hold yourself till s3 is out. I don’t really feel the excitement like I felt from s1. First two eps are good, but I skipped a lot of scenes.
It feels like they stretched this season unnecessarily,” one viewer posted. Another quipped, “Don’t bother until Season 3 comes out. Complete waste of time. The final episode does NOT feel like the finale of an entire season.”
Brief of Season 2
The Salesman alongside a few new faces including North Korean refugee No-eul (Park Gyu-young), henchmen Woo-seok and Mr. Kim (Jun Suk-ho and Oh Dal-su) as well as former crypto influencer Player 333 – Myung-gi also aims to delve further into the Front Man’s troubled past and his fraught connection with Jun-ho but has fallen short on this front according to the disappointed watchers.
Despite the backlash, the cliffhanger has undeniably set the stage for a highly anticipated third instalment. While Squid Game is no stranger to leaving its audience wanting more, this time, it was maybe a little too much.
Squid Game” Season 2, released in December 2024, has sparked a wave of criticism from viewers who feel the series failed to meet the high expectations set by its groundbreaking first season. Many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction, labeling the conclusion a “complete waste of time.”
Viewer Discontent:
A significant point of contention among fans is the perceived decline in originality and the repetitive nature of the storyline. Some viewers have noted that the second season lacks the fresh and innovative elements that made the first season a global sensation. This sentiment is echoed in various online discussions, where fans have expressed their frustration with the series’ direction.
Critical Reception:
Critics have also weighed in on the season’s performance. While some acknowledge the challenges in replicating the shock value of the first season, they commend the series for its continued engagement and character development. For instance, Annabel Nugent from The Independent gave the season 4 out of 5 stars, stating that while it wasn’t as shocking as the first season, it was still captivating in its violence.
Production Oversights:
In addition to narrative critiques, fans have pointed out production errors that detract from the viewing experience. A notable example is a scene where a cameraman is visible during a battle, an oversight that has been widely discussed on social media platforms.
In summary, while “Squid Game” Season 2 has achieved significant viewership, it has also faced considerable criticism from both fans and critics. The series’ conclusion has left many viewers feeling disappointed, highlighting the challenges in meeting the high expectations set by its predecessor.
