Season 2, which was released thanks to the explosive popularity of season 1, attracted a lot of attention, but it also had to face cold reviews from overseas media. The New York Times reported that the `Squid Game' turned on the red lightAnyone who has watched Season 1 should see what they have already seen. Season 2 continues the story, with no effort being put into expanding it for seven hours.
The Hollywood Reporter, a film magazine, also criticized 'Squid Game 2', saying 'I lost the edge' and 'It was completely disappointing'. USA Today also expressed disappointment, saying "The originality has disappeared"
The Guardian, the British daily newspaper, also reported that "One of Hollywood's bad habits is to split the story in half to double its profits. While "Squid Game 2" was originally a perfect story, it became the most profitable series in Netflix's history, putting it in trouble on the creative side. Season 2 painfully drags the story on too many episodes. Season 3 will have to get better."
Meanwhile, Season 2 of 'Squid Game', which is drawing global attention along with the outpouring of favorable reviews from overseas media, is only streaming on Netflix, while Season 3 of 'Squid Game' will be released in 2025.
