“Squid Game 2” Hit With Scathing Criticism After Release
After a lot of anticipation and waiting, Netflix Squid Game 2 aired on December 26; however, it has been hit with scathing criticism from netizens.
The show followed the first series, seeing Lee Jung Jae’s character, Seong Gi Hun go back into the games, and it consisted of seven episodes.
When international fans watched the show, many shared their disappointment at the series for a number of reasons. Many didn’t like how long it took to actually get to the games; others found the episodes with no development in terms of storyline or characters, with many sharing the stars they thought actually shined.

Overally a very below par season of #SquidGame2 . Cliffhanger ending was expected but there were not much characters you can connect with. MCs (456&001) were very predictable and written very badly one dimensional. Siwan and Park Sunghoon were standout performers for me pic.twitter.com/5kYtC5d3VN

it’s 4am and I just binged #SquidGame2. Games were quite interesting & tense at times but for the most part, it’s a weak sequel with little to no development and the stupidest character motivations. Decisions made absolutely no sense and finale was a mess pic.twitter.com/KqKqD9pXTD

In particular, with the series ending in an unexpected way and news about the third and final series, netizens found the episodes pointless and messy, especially knowing they had to wait a long time for the conclusion.
You should have finished the story, idc how long it would take because what was that? Spent 7 hours and there's not a single resolution? there's no need for a season 3 tbh#squidgame2 https://t.co/5qyugTYnt3
