Is there a thread on this yet? I'm 3 episodes in already and it's fantastic.

Season 3 is being released in 2025, it was written and filmed at the same time as Season 2.

Though it seems it's more Season 2 Part 2 rather than Season 3!

@BeADinosaur
sorry yes i meant 2025.... it ends on a cliffhanger which i hate... i would rather have waited until season 3 had aired... i am impatient though😂

If I had known it finished on a cliffhanger I wouldn't have watched it either!

It's only because I googled 'da fuck is that ending' that I saw Season 3 is coming in 2025. If I'd known that I would have waited until 3 was out and watched 2 & 3 together.

Definitely watch in original language with subtitles to get the proper emotions. On episode 2 now, slower start than season 1 but enjoying it. DH distracted and not getting into it.

It's Squid Game, not Games :'(

Yawn

Op I am enjoying it too. It's more of a slow burn this time though I think

SabreIsMyFave · 29/12/2024 00:07

Watched the first 2 episodes now. It is taking a while to pick up, but I'm guessing it picks up in episode 3?

7 episodes altogether. So even thought the first 2 were a bit slow-moving, I will stick with it. Smile It's still good. Smile

I ended up binge watching the whole thing, started evening of 26th and didn't finish until about 5am 😳.

The ending annoyed me but it gets Netflix another year of subs so understand it makes financial sense for them.

All in one night?! Well done! Grin

Yawn? It's incorrect calling it Squid Games.

Then, I still couldn't get to sleep, DH was up and away to work by 7am while I curled up under a blanket on the sofa , think I was beginning to hallucinate after 7am 😂.

It's just boring and irrelevant though. The op missed one letter out. Hardly a huge mistake

It's not irrelevant. In the programme, squid game is literally one game. There's no plural, more than one doesn't exist.
OP pluralised it, which isn't a typo (and not taking one away).
I'm not going to keep explaining it, but it's not irrelevant.

I’m almost at the end of episode 2 and really disappointed- please someone reassure mw that the whole season isn’t like this… do they go in an arena in this series? I’m really hoping so!!!!

peacockbluefeather · 30/12/2024 00:21

Once it got going, I really liked it. I think I liked it better than season one. Was forewarned it was going to end as part one of two, which I think they should have made clear when promoting it, so wasn't upset. I think it's really good.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 30/12/2024 01:44

We finished it tonight and really enjoyed it, agree with another poster that this is more season 2, part one, with part 2 to follow instead of part 3. Loved the last part of the final episode especially. And yes, subtitles are so much better than dubbed.

BlueberryPup · 30/12/2024 01:56

I watched it in the original language with subtitles, as I always do (come from a culture where dubbing is considered for children) so cannot comment on the dubbing, neither can I comment on the subtitle translation as I don't speak Korean. I saw some criticism of it in season one, however.

I just don't understand why the season took so long to get things rolling? The first episodes really dragged, then we had action packed episodes with odd cliffhangers and that ending, ugh!

Was there some problem during filming that meant season 2 had to be split into two? Because that's what it feels like.

I also didn't enjoy the shift from "winning through sheer dumb luck" to "plot armor stops me from dying". There were plenty of raised eyebrows in the last two episodes!

On the other hand, loved the games. Would have liked to see all 6, but glad to see games that don't rely fully on luck like the glass walking one, or super fast ones like tug of war. Those were very underwhelming after the first 3 games in series 1.

Yes..episode 3. I was so bored in the first 2 episodes, it just seemed to be men driving around in cars (admittedly I was only half watching it when I saw there were no games yet).

JMSA · 30/12/2024 12:40

I was a latecomer to Season 1 and have just binged watched it all over a couple of days. I enjoyed it a lot but good God, my dreams!!!! They're bizarre enough at the best of times without the added Squid Games dimension Shock
I think I'll have a wee break before starting Series 2 Grin

Thank you! I felt exactly the same in the first two episodes- couldn’t really follow it and wondered what was going on! So glad to hear the games are back in episode 3, that’s what it’s all about for me!

PlumpHobbit · 30/12/2024 16:21

Still struggling, on episode 4 atm. 3 was better, but the characters aren't grabbing me and just feels a repeat of the make up of people last time (e.g. the elderly lady = blind man from last season)

Also it feels a bit.. silly and over the top?? I don't recall that last time it was quite intense

Watched the last series dubbed but this one is annoying me, everyone sounds the same?

Will continue as DH is loving it but I'm more drawn to playing a game on my phone. Shame.

Looking more forward to the new Harlan Coban series, and traitors, both starting new years day, so want to get this out the way

Cutterbups · 30/12/2024 16:22

I thought it was disappointing compared to Season 1
