‘Squid Game’ Season 2 slammed as viewers declare Netflix series has ‘lost its edge’: ‘I didn’t wait 2 years for this’

Game on.
“Squid Game” Season 2 is now streaming, and some viewers are taking issue with the sophomore installment of the bloody Korean Netflix hit.
“The second season of ‘Squid Game’ is a thorough letdown,” wrote a critic for the Hollywood Reporter, adding it “simply doesn’t work.”
Collider‘s similarly unenthusiastic review read, “You can see the plot twists coming a mile away even when a new game is introduced — and if you don’t, the show flashes lights in your face to make sure you’re prepared for the incoming twist. It often feels like the show is afraid its audience might not understand what is going on, so everything has to be spelled out.”
It went on, “By the time the season reaches its ending, it feels like a lot of time has been wasted on repetition.”
“Just finished season 2 THAT S–T WAS TERRIBLE IM CRYING,” one viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
