I just finished watching season 2 today. I'm not sure why, but I love this crazy show--- both season 1 and 2.

If you like to watch South Korean series which are great, you will see a lot of people participating in season one and season two who are frequent actors in SK series.

I watched the first episode of Season One about 2 1/2 years ago and didn't like it at all. I am so glad I have now watched quite a bit of the South Korean shows and I recognize a lot of people I would not have known back then.

Also Season two ends right in the middle of the "Game", and continues in season three. That's not what happened in season one, they went through an entire "Game" and it finished.

And prepare yourself it's a really good story, but it can also be a lot of blood and gore.

I didn't like the first one, so I'm skipping this season.

I think the OP is referring to an actual competition show called Squid Games, with an s, not to be confused with the series Squid Game. I could be wrong though.

First let me say that I abhor violence! I usually can't watch shows if they are too graphic.

However this show is a lot about human nature and I have become obsessed with it! When it first came out a few years ago I saw how popular it was but didn't watch. My son told me that it was very interesting so I decided to give it a try. After the first episode of season 1, I was hooked!

I just finished binge watching both seasons and can't wait for season 3!!

@Citrine1 There's another show called "Squid Games" that's different from the Netflix series?

Yes @haddon9 . I accidentally tuned into the reality competition show by mistake one day. It's called Squid Games (plural) and it's contestants doing various challenges. Actually, I only watched for a few seconds so I don't know what all is involved.

Squid Game (singular) is the Netflix series.

@haddon9, yes, Netflix created a game show loosely based on the series. I think it was called Squid Game Challenge.

I plan to rewatch Season One before I watch Season 2. I know they filmed Season 3 at the same time they shot Season 2 and plan to release that, I believe, at the end of June.

It's not a show that will appeal to all.

Like you, @haddon9 , I was really hooked on the first season on Squid Game. I loved it and couldn't wait for the second season to come out!

I watched the second season in one day, and have to say that I was no where near as happy with it as the first. I'll tune in to the third season, of course, just to see where the story goes, but I'm hoping there is some improvement in the story line.

@Etoile308 I did that. I wanted to refresh my memory before watching season 2. Believe it or not, I couldn't remember all the details of how the first season ended.

@Etoile308 @Citrine1 Interesting that there is a show with a very similar name. I will check it out.

I’m usually ok with violence but this was gross and I bailed.

This is the correct name ⬆️, there is no squid games.

@Tori3569 you're right; I'm wrong. I don't know why I thought it was called Squid Games.
