Squid Game 2 early verdict out: Netizens call season 2 a masterstroke

Squid Game took the world by storm and became a cultural phenomenon. The first season showcased deadly children's games, where contestants risked their lives for a chance at a massive cash prize. The second season is set to explore the dystopian world surrounding the survival game in greater depth. As Netflix held a special premiere event on 9 December, many fans who were attendees, shared their thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) after watching the series.

One user commented, "SQUID GAME season 2 was a lot crazier than the first one. It even had its own 'The Deer Hunter' moment that got me all on pins & needles, squeamish. This time it's retribution-based & action-packed. Lee Jung-Jae once again delivered a ferocious performance."

Another viewer praised the plot, writing, "I've seen Squid Game Season 2 and it's insane. The new players, scenarios and twists add so much to the season. A smart addictive continuation to the wonderful story that sets up a BIG season 3. Oh yeah and Thanos.."

One more netizen described the season as superior to the first, stating, "SQUID GAME Season 2 is a masterstroke in escalating the stakes while delving deeper into the human psyche. The plot seamlessly intertwines high-octane action sequences with psychological mind games. Lee Jung-Jae is magnificent. It's bigger and better."

The anticipation among fans has grown, with many eagerly awaiting the final release.
