Season 2 Review:
Hwang puts aside writing a cluster of dramatic types to surround Lee and Wi to build memorable portraits. .... This season allows us to get to know more of them beyond a few quirks or twirls of the figurative mustache, although there’s a share of that. But more are developed amply enough to give their performers something to sink their teeth into.

Season 1 Review:
“Squid Game” has nothing to say about inequality and free will beyond pat truisms, and its characters are shallow assemblages of family and battlefield clichés, set loose upon a patently ridiculous premise. ... [The violence] is more than mildly sickening in its scale, its graphic presentation and its calculated gratuitousness.

Literally cannot pick a single flaw in this show. Second best series I've ever watched behind Breaking Bad. The whole show is basically a masterclass on plot twists and character development.

I've seen it multiple times, and I still enjoy it. It's very emotional. I would recommend anyone watch it if you think you're into these kinds of shows.

One of the best series i have every watched! It gives you suspense, drama and exciting moments. The plot becomes more and more interesting as the episodes go. The characters are well established, the performances are exceptional. Please do watch it!

Its not bad, Just over-rated. I think that people everywhere have been saying that this show is one of the best shows ever made and I think I would have to dissagre. Its not bad but its not all that.

Naprawdę średni serial, nie rozumiem hype'u na niego, moim zdaniem o wiele lepsze jest chociaż arcane od Riotu, bądź klasyczny Rick and Morty

Very predictable. It's like Brazilian "3%" and Spain "Mind Heist" in one project. Super overrated
