I never attempted squid games 2, that's a one and done fa sho

Yes, obvs

[Rage Against the McKee]

I'm sure Squid Games USA will set the world on fire.

No Squid Game watchers here? 

Seems like a perfect 1 season phenomenon and no reason to ruin that by watching the inevitable follow up money grab

you guys are trying too hard to be edgy, season 2 was perfectly enjoyable. excited for season 3.

[ChiComCat]

Also a season oner.  It ended well and I don't think it needed to add anything so I won't let it.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I enjoyed seasons 2 and 3 for what they were.

I'm rewatching The Crown. Why do I love this show so much? Not sure, but I do.

I'm 2 episodes into season 3 right now, sidebar this episode was the absolute saddest episode of the series so far. Anyway, I liked season 2 and so far so good for season 3, but I can see why people don't like either. The entire premise of seasons 2 and 3 are preposterous on top of an already bat crap concept of a show. I get that it's a show about people getting murdered in wild ass quantities and no one ever comes to look for them, so it stretches credulity, but the problem is that concept already stretches the imagination to it's limits, seasons 2 and 3 goes like 97 steps beyond that.

I think Seasons 2-3 have been pretty much as enjoyable as Season 1, so I really don’t get people that love 1 but dislike 2 or 3.

I don’t think it has to do with Seasons 2/3 jumping the shark. The entire premise is insane when you consider the logistics that would have to be involved to conduct those games involving hundreds of people in total secrecy for 10+ years or however long it was.

Claire Foy and that Frankenstein looking dude have great chemistry.

Season 1 used an absurd premise to provide social commentary. The following seasons added nothing to the social commentary while having an even more absurd premise. It's still a fun show if you like watching grown people kill themselves playing children's games, though.

I thought the voting segments in Season 2 hit just as hard on social commentary. Not trying to Pit, but it immediately made me reflect on people voting for Trump despite every indication it was going to work out poorly for them.

i generally agree with what you're saying. i think the show creators had to assume that we all understand the premise is batshit crazy (especially the main guy going back into the game by choice). so let's just get creative about what scenarios could possibly transpire in a "game" like this.

[star seed 7]

The creator thought it was a one season show too but finally accepted an ass load of money and decided to write some crap and mush people's face in it.

[ChiComCat]

I don't think seasons 2 or 3 were worse, I have no idea nor do I have any interest in watching them.  They might be good!  Season 1 felt like a complete story to the point that I have no interest in anything else happening.

netflix just added Portlandia and Mr. Robot, which rules big time. i hope they're still there when winter rolls around

[DQ12]

Saw the Mr. Robot addition and immediately went to the episode with the scene where they play the Basket Case lullaby.  Love that scene.

The skit where he gets Riot Spray back together is one of the funniest things ever on TV.

Sunny is back. Episode two did not disappoint.
