Squid Game Season 2 Twitter Review: Here’s What Netizens Have To Say

The second season of Squid Game premiered on Netflix on December 26, 2024. Unlike the first season, which had nine episodes, this new instalment contains seven episodes, some of which fans have already finished watching. One user on X (formerly known as Twitter) posted, “#SquidGame2 is not as good as the first season, but it's still an entertaining watch. It includes a fantastic first episode, although the stakes don't feel as high. With the final season approaching, I enjoyed most of it, but Lee Jung-jae's performance is outstanding.”

While this user felt the second season didn't match the quality of the first, another shared a different perspective: “#SquidGame2 is a rollercoaster of emotions and suspense. From the moment the Red Light, Green Light game begins, you're hooked. The acting is top-notch, especially by #LeeJungJae, and the twist? Mind-blowing. It’s not just a survival game; it’s a dark commentary on modern capitalism. Sure, it's gory, emotional, and intense. Every episode ends on a cliffhanger you can't skip. If you're into thrillers, suspense, and massive plot twists, this is a MUST-WATCH.”

Although many viewers agree that this season is entertaining, a common sentiment is that it is 'miles behind' the first season. Another user expressed a similar opinion: “Squid Game 2 takes us back to the deadly games for more bloodshed and new challenges. But just when things get REALLY exciting, it ends on a cliffhanger. The 'real world' plotline sometimes seems forgotten, even though it's intriguing. It's miles behind season 1. It's good, but not great.”

Some viewers find it just as entertaining, while others prefer season one. However, everyone can agree that Lee Jung-jae's performance was just as great, if not better than in season 1.
