Squid Game — Season 2

7 episodes ★ 8/10 our take

Season 2 Review

Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Ki Hoon starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.

Season Review

Season 2 is the first half of a longer story: Gi-hun returns with a plan that collapses, the Front Man plays him as Player 001, and the new games (the voting mechanic where players choose their own doom) build to a rebellion cliffhanger. Quieter, meaner, deliberately unresolved — the setup for the endgame.
