Squid Game 2 reviews: Critics split on divisive new season, with some saying it’s lost its edge
The highly-anticipated second season of Netflix sensation Squid Game has been met with mixed reactions from critics, who are sharply divided over the latest outing.
While some critics have praised the show for maintaining its gripping and intense narrative, others have come down hard on the series, claiming it has “lost its edge” and is a “thorough letdown”.
The divisive reaction comes after fans of the original series were left underwhelmed by the first season’s conclusion, with many branding it “overhyped”.
As the reviews roll in, some critics are expressing disappointment with the new season, saying that it fails to recapture the magic of the initial series.
“Unfortunately, Squid Game 2 feels like a repeat of the same tired formula,” wrote one critic. “The show’s energy has been drained, and what was once a thrilling ride has devolved into a tedious slog.”
Another critic added, “I’m sad to say that this latest season is a thorough letdown. The storylines feel stale, and the characters have lost their depth. It’s a shame, as the first season showed so much promise.”
On the other hand, some critics have continued to praise the show for its unique blend of social commentary and pulse-pounding action.
“Squid Game 2 is still a wildly entertaining ride,” wrote another critic. “While it may not be quite as groundbreaking as the original, it’s still a masterclass in storytelling and character development.”
Despite the mixed reaction from critics, fans of the show remain steadfast in their support for Squid Game.
