Squid Game 2 Review

Positives

Games (Very little, but they are there at least )
Less gore (Showing doctor operating body parts scenes are unnecessary from the first season itself)
No 18+ Scenes (Little surprise since those are the scenes where most of the web series are obsessed with)

Negatives
Literally everything else

1. Too much conversation (25% Games, 75% Talking)
2. Zero character development (Despite having lot of conversations)
3. Cliché mom son sentiment (No one is asked for)
4. Forced comedies (Not funny at all)
5. 'Motivational speech to sudden changes of action' during games
6. Unlike threatening villain gang of players in season 1, this villain gang players are just some irritating little br*ts who take dr*gs and do reels. Don't make any impact on the story
7. Voting process after every game is nothing but an excuse to milk more duration of the episode
8. No emotional connect to the viewers to either players nor their relationships unlike the first season where
Those scenes are the most emotional ones.
9. Stone face lead character. It's fine that he isn't the same one after what happened in the past. But still the season's tone is same as the last one itself, so carrying the same anger expression throughout the season looks weird on many occasions where everyone else doing funny conversations.
10. Like the first season, the front man's brother

Rating
1.5/5

Just finish this crappy story as soon as possible, and create fresh one with new characters. Make the lead character from this season a cameo for the new story if it really needs for the sake of the original, but don't overdoing it.
They are definitely going to continue this franchise. This is a gold mine with unlimited potential. My guess would be, they are going to expand to other countries, for example, Squid Game: Japan, or different formats, such as Squid Game Animated Series/Anime.

Yes. I didn't mean to end this franchise altogether. Just said to end this storyline and characters, and make fresh ones with existing format and tone.
 
Happened to complete Diplomat Ssn. 2 on Netflix.It is good and engrossing.The ending like previous ssn. has left the scope for another ssn.I just hope it doesn't stretches like House of Cards where after even before Kevin Spacey's scandal you would have wanted the show to end.
 
I am watching Supacell on Netflix currently influenced by 100% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.It seems that the reviews have been done by same kind of people who once elevated "Gunda" movie to 10 rating on IMDB.I am not saying that the series is as hilariously bad as Gunda but it has nothing to deserve a 100% positive review and infact is very ordinary.A little googling made me realize that the director of the series specializes in making Blacks only series and movies and may be the woke forces would have taken upto themselves to elevate the series to high levels.
 
Watched Malignant (2021), horror film, R rated with violence and gore only. Can be watch with family if your family love to watch slasher 🔪 movies.
 
Watched 'Wolfs" on Apple TV.It is equivalent of MNREGA scheme for stars of bygone era.Truly awful how Clooney and Brad Pitt have been wasted.
 
DC's Creature Commandos is amazing. Loved it. There are only 7 episodes, and that too of around just 20 minutes. So the pacing is perfect. All of the episodes are entertaining, and the show concludes with a very satisfying ending. No annoying cliffhangers. The back stories of the characters were the best thing about the show. And all the characters were likeable.
This show marks the beginning of the new DCU, and it's off to a great start.

I will watch it after reading this
 
Guys, watch The Sandman (Netflix). You'll love the series if love medium paced series like Stranger Things, 12 Monkeys, From and (a little bit slower but like) Dark.
