Would have been beautiful if the person did it speaking in English.
Television Squid Game (Netflix)

Wow, can't believe this sort of thing is being posted here
I didn't know how many episides there were, so i was surprised when it just stopped, and there were no more...
I googled how many episodes the season had, thinking that the last couple ones were being released later.
Found this:
After Squid Game season 1 became Netflix’s most-watched show of all time and a global sensation, the streamer naturally offered director Hwang Dong-hyuk the chance to do another season. While Hwang initially agreed to develop a second season, the story he wanted to tell ended up growing into a third chapter. Squid Game’s seasons 2 and 3 were written at the same time and were also produced concurrently. Squid Game 3 is currently in post-production, hence the much shorter wait for the show to return in 2025.
So aparantly it was the director, not Netflix' decision.
Well yeah most of what we watch is stupid shite, that's what makes it entertaining and not boring. It's people playing kids games for money and getting shot in the face when they get out.
But there's usually a logic to what people do within the show, not just doing whatever helps the plot.
For example. And why go back into the games, to then try to leave them right from the start. And acting as though every life is sacred and saving everyone, only to then let most of his own 'clan' be slaughtered so he could stage a revolt with a handful of others against a heap of guards.
He joined the games again to take them down from within. I'm not sure how that's not obvious having watched it?
Did some of you remember to turn on the subtitles?
I got that. But then he tried to get everyone to vote to leave right away? Or what was his plan really - how was he going to 'take them down from within'? The plan to overpower the guards and storm the back-offices seemed to come about by chance, and that was a ridiculous plan anyway. And he seemed very keen to get people to vote to leave, but seemingly not smart enough to realise that they were staying because of money, which he has plenty of. Why not take a handful of the 'O's aside and offer them a good chunk of his 40billion+ won?
It's a decent watch, don't get me wrong. But the writing is pretty poor/lazy.

Plan A was him meeting with one of the organisers after the club scene and his team of armed ex-military guys swarming in on his command to take them down.
Plan B was him entering the games with tracker so his team of armed ex-military guys could storm the place and take over. The problem was that they took the tracker and shoved it in some fisherman's tackle before he got there.

I saw an article saying the game was rigged and they let a bee in on purpose to make people panic. It's like they didn't watch the roof opening a minute prior.
Thank the gods, I thought I was having a 7 hour stroke!
It was good with a terrible ending
Is that Marcus Rashford?
3 episodes in, not too impressed with the second season.
So much filler e.g. in the first game they all laugh before the start how easy and familiar the game is. Then we get a dragging 10 minute scene with 456 screaming instructions how the game is played and still they all look surprised and play like retards.
That's just one example of many.

I've seen more threatening puddles of piss
Absolute hero. My favourite character in series 2.
The Thanos character is obviously comic relief, God some of you are depressed 
Even his English speaking parts are pure trolling

Obviously but it's so cringe and unfunny.The Thanos character is obviously comic relief, God some of you are depressed

Yeah, plus we're meant to dislike him.The Thanos character is obviously comic relief, God some of you are depressed

Because he's Korean? Wow, just wow
Wait, he's Korean?
Not enough games in S2. Best part about the show are the games.
Apparently S3 our 25th June and is 6 episodes.
Just finished it and enjoyed it.
That coward guy needs to die a horrible death for letting that smokin' hot chick with the piercings (Se-Mi) die.
I was looking out for her in every wide shot
Byung Hun Lee is one of my favourite Korean actors so was nice seeing him in another big role. I Saw The Devil is one of my favourite films.

Nah, he's clearly American.
Oh my bad, I didn't realise that was the rule. I'll adjust, please also do that in the quote. Thanks.
That would get him shot in squid game
I said before but no responded to it but do you think
the mum and son are Oh Il Nam's (original 001) family?
Could be but also would be silly when you think about it.
I don't think.
I'm pretty sure he mentioned he had a wife and son. They would be able the right age and they never mentioned the father. Is it possible that he was estranged? It's quite likely Oh Il Nam's was a horrible man and they got away from him, not even accepting a penny of his money.
That's a good point and would be a nice touch.

There's surely an unofficial rule that every season of Squid Game must have a skinny, badass female character who everyone (straights, bis, gays and all genders) fall for. It's almost an artform at this stage!

Thanos was so unbelievably unlikable, I can't tell if he was really terribly acted, or if the actor was actually really great at playing an absolutely terrible fecking prick.
In the final round of the Mingle episode, there were 3 people in 001's room, when there should only have been 2, so 001 choked the other guy to death. I'm guessing they weren't eliminated because 001 is the plant?
Overall, it was a good season, but the long voting scenes were a bit of a drag. Like others have said, it seemed naive that 456 didn't suspect 001 of being a plant again. It did seem to kill the suspense as you knew 001 would turn, it was just a matter of when.

I guess because the third person was dead before the timer it was allowed.
