Netflix's most popular original show is back, but not everyone is loving it. Squid Game Season 2's release on December 26th sparked excitement, with fans eager to binge-watch. While Season 1 was a global phenomenon, the new season has struggled to meet high expectations. Early reviews show an 86% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, praising its smart and provocative narrative, but the audience score is a lower 63%, with some fans disappointed by unresolved plot lines. Reddit reviews echo similar sentiments.

Despite mixed reviews, brands are cashing in. Call of Duty is hosting a Squid Game event, and YouTuber MrBeast teased another real-life Squid Game video.
