More than three years after the explosion of Squid Gameseason 2 of the South Korean phenomenon will soon be on Netflix and these are not the first reviews that will dampen the excitement.
Netflix pushed so hard for the phenomenon Squid Game is still full after its unexpected explosion in September 2021 that the South Korean series by Hwang Dong-hyeok already seems to have made a place in popular culturein the middle of Paper House, Stranger Things and others Queen's game. Maybe the fever Squid Game will have fallen within a few years, but a priori, the brand is on course to last. Especially if Netflix continues its spin-off reality TV and if David Fincher brings to fruition his American remake with screenwriter Dennis Kelly (Utopia).
To put a part back into the machine, Netflix is also counting heavily on season 2awaited for more than three years, which will arrive at the end of the year with a brand new cast and even more at stake, according to the latest trailer. While waiting to see whether or not this sequel will keep its promises, the first opinions have come in and they are largely positive. Tweet review.
SQUID GAME OVER
“Squid Game Season 2 is a masterstroke in escalating the stakes while diving deeper into the human psyche. The plot fluidly mixes high-energy action sequences with psychological games. Lee Jung-Jae is great. It's even better. » Aayush Sharma – Movies we texted about
“Squid Game Season 2 is a brilliant return for Netflix’s most popular series. The new cast is great and Lee Jung-Jae once again delivers a remarkable performance. There are so many amazing action sequences. The wait was worth it, get ready! » Ashley Hurst – What’s on Netflix
“Season 2 of Squid Game was much crazier than the first. She even has her 'Journey to the End of Hell' moment that put me on edge, disgusted. This time it's an action-packed revenge story. Lee Jung-jae once again delivers a fierce performance. » – Rama’s Screen
“I saw season 2 of Squid Game and it’s addicting. It's not as original as the first season for obvious reasons, but it goes even further by giving us new twists, storylines, games and much more. [C’est]an intelligent and fun sequel that prepares for a grand finale with season 3. One word: Thanos. » Germain Lussier – Gizmodo
“I saw season 2 of Squid Game and it’s crazy. The new players, storylines and twists add a lot to the season. An intelligent and addictive sequel to this wonderful story which prepares for a great season 3. Oh yes and Thanos…” – Who let us out
After extensive investigative work on Google, Thanos is actually the name (or nickname) of the new character played by rapper Choi Seung-hyun. Unlike most, this one will not participate in the games to win the money, but simply for the thrills they promise. We therefore expect him to be another big thorn in the side of good old Gi-hun (Lee Jung-Jae) who will already have a lot to do with the organizers.
It also seems that the pace is much more sustained in this second season, which should end on another cliffhanger before season 3 that Netflix announced last August. The next batch will, however, “only” have seven episodes, compared to nine for the first which, originally, was supposed to be a mini-series. To form an opinion, you will have to wait for the release of season 2 of Squid Game next December 26.
