Fans of Netflix’s Squid Game have expressed disappointment with the long-awaited second season, which was released on December 26. After three years of anticipation, viewers criticized the new episodes for being “boring” and lacking the emotional depth and tension of the original 2021 season. Social media reactions were mixed, with many citing the absence of beloved characters killed off in the first season and a less engaging storyline.
One viewer described the season as “lowkey boring,” stating, “just show me the games.” Others lamented a lack of connection to the new participants, saying it failed to evoke the emotional investment of the first season. Another fan called the ending “extremely sad” and frustrating, especially with a cliffhanger setting up the confirmed third and final season in 2025.
However, not all feedback was negative. Some fans praised the second season for introducing compelling new games and characters, with one calling it a “superb binge.” Despite the divided reception, Squid Game continues to spark discussions about the challenges of living up to its groundbreaking predecessor.
