The poster looks like something an amateur would've created using a pirated Photoshop, back in the late 90s. Which was then recovered this year and enhanced to appear modern.
However, great first episode. I'm particularly enjoying the performance by the child actress with her deadpan delivery.

What a clunky start. Much of the conflict seems like not much of a conflict.

5. Squid Game Season 2
Korean Drama - 2024, 7 episodes
What the hell is this uninspired rubbish? Trying too hard to be everything but it's becoming more hollow as it progresses. I'm genuinely offended by how bad this is. The plot meanders... and then repeats itself to waste the viewer's time. Squid Games? More like a slumber party where a bunch of lifeless characters go through therapy with each other, turning what was a thriller into a melodrama. When it tries to be comedic, the tone suddenly switches to be like a variety show. Is it even the same show? Did the team have any goal in mind while producing this?
It's bad enough that it seems my time was disrespected and a 3rd season is not worth watching. Even if it turns out to be better than the 1st season, this level of failure cannot be rewarded.
