'Squid Game' season 2 is a torture chamber for its protagonist — but not for audiences
- Season two of "Squid Game" reminds us why it is an excellent TV series and cultural sensation.
- It follows similar patterns as the first season, but this thematic iteration is a strength.
- The repetition of familiar games and character beats is incredibly effective and still compelling.
- The new season introduces several new games, which are just as superlatively designed as their predecessors.
- Gi-hun takes a backseat in season two to make room for the show's captivating cast of new characters.
- Most striking are the moments where he falls back into Gi-hun's childlike innocence from season one.
- Success can bring crushing pressure, and with it, an impulse to iterate. In this case, the iteration works in service of the show's point.
- "Squid Game" season 2 is a torture cycle for Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), the victor of the games.
- Unfortunately, Gi-hun's crusade puts him back where he started in the games, with his life on the line.
- "Squid Game" seasons one and two are now streaming on Netflix.
