The second season of Netflix's hit South Korean series Squid Game is here, continuing the brutal competition where players risk their lives for a chance at a life-changing cash prize. While the season starts a bit slow, it quickly picks up pace with its familiar, thrilling gameplay and disturbingly violent twists.
Seong Gi-hun, aka Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) is back! The second season gets off to a bit of a slow start, but the show remains mostly a thrilling ride. Just in time for the day after Christmas, when it dawns on you and your rapidly dwindling bank account that you spread a little too much cheer this year, comes the second season of Squid Game .
That's Netflix's brutal South Korean series in which those neck-deep in debt take part in a secret competition where they can go home with a huge stack of life-changing cash for winning a round of children's games – or be shot to death for losing. Squid Game in 2021 was a huge, surprise hit for Netflix, garnering six Emmy Awards and 2.8 billion streams globally, making it the streamer's most successful series or film, according to the New York Times. The taut, nine-episode drama smartly tapped into post-pandemic paranoia with its dystopian vision of a world where life is a deadly game with little chance for survival, and whipped up thirst for a second season, a rarity in the world of South Korean television. In fact, there will be even a third, and final, season next year. Season 2 is going to be a heavy lift to live up to the heady expectations set by its predecessor. After all, what the first season had going for it was a sense of surprise, a feeling that each episode offered something new. You weren't sure what show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk had in mind or where he was taking you. Now, much of Squid Game feels familiar – yes, that game of red light, green light with its awful giant doll of death is back – and the more disturbingly violent and outlandish seven-episode second season gets off to a bit of a slow start. But the show remains mostly a thrilling ride.Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who won the 45.6 billion won (RM14
