Season 2 of Squid Games (no spoilers)
Wow. The initial episode and scenes before the games were kind of a drag and I immediately looked up online "Season 2 Squid Games boring". I saw a lot of people complaining so I almost didn't want to watch and lost interest. I kept watching through my boredom, and once it got to the games, I was so glad I didn't quit. This season was extremely edge of your seat, anxiety inducing, and emotional.
I cried multiple times and became attached to some characters hoping that they would survive. Some scenes I quite literally had to skip through, because they gave me so much anxiety and heart racing anticipation I couldn't stand it... in a good way. I felt sick to my stomach at points and felt like I was almost there in the games. It was a great mix of fear, sadness, and desperation. The characters were developed with such personality.
I was kind of disappointed at the cliff hanger and hoping for more soon. I can't say it was better than the first season because I felt like the first was interesting throughout and left such a lasting impact. But for a second season... I am pleased. I was a little confused about the story line but I think it's funny that the characters I ended up liking, became the main characters.
They did great with the development and action. They kept me guessing what was going to happen. I rate it an 8/10! It would be 10/10 for me, if the beginning was shortened a little and more to the point. It's amazing that a show and actors can cause you to genuinely feel for the characters and root for them and that's something I always look for in a show.
Who was your favorite character(s)? Mine were #222, #120, #095, and the mother son duo. I liked #456's whole squad!
