Squid Game - Nflix

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Squid Game - Nflix

Watched S2. It's good, but is not the same as S1.

S1 was the game and we (the audience and characters) were learning as we went.

For S2, we all know what's up, so they're focused more on the actual story. They still do the games a bit, but nowhere near the focus in S1. I could see that being disappointing to some.

Still solid, but I'm interested to see where this goes because one thing happens that makes you wonder "why would they do this?". I'll just say that Scott Evil would not approve.

S2 ends on a cliffhanger, unless the upcoming S3 (filmed at the same time) is really just the second half of season 2?

S1 was awesome. No way S2 can keep up with it. I'm 2 episodes in, and it's decent.

S2 was OK.

S3 is tedious.

I finished S2 and have had zero motivation to return for S3. Glad to hear my lack of motivation was correct.

I'll let you know when I finish it. But right now, when people die, I'm just like "Oh, thank god, kill them all"
