I am. First one was great. I didn't understand why the guy chose to enter the game again at the end though.

Because he feels as though he's the victim and wants to set things right.

He is going to take them all down. I'm not entirely sure what his plan is, but he wants to destroy the games and all who support it

I rather they have/focus on a brand new set of characters participating in the squid games then continue Gi-hun's story.... or just make it a side character. What made Squid games interesting is the psychological aspect of it and how people react to certain situations and what not.

Comon now, it's not bad. It just got lucky on how popular it suddenly got. Then it just snowballed and combined with Halloween costumes and internet memes to become Netflix's most watched show.

One of the plot twists was pretty obvious, but I'm pretty sure the brother cop survives when he falls in the ocean in the end.

If you predicted ahead of time that Player 1 didn't die in the games, and was actually running them, you are some kind of mad lad genius

I'll watch it, but I honestly don't think it'll be very good. S1 was very clearly written to be a oneshot, so I don't know how well they'll manage from here.

My prediction;

There will be two timelines. One flashing back to Front Man's backstory and game and the present timeline where Gi-Hun is being set up and manipulated to be the new Front Man.

We'll see. I liked the show quite a bit, but thought his getting on the plane was a good conclusion to that story. The brother thing could have been wrapped up some way, and honestly...I couldn't care less about that subplot.

I dunno...let's see what the writers do with a previous winner playing again.

It doesn't make sense that he would enter again, because he could easily die. Unless the games are the exact same every time. Even then, someone could bump into him during red light, green light, or win all of his marbles in the partner game.

I had the interpretation that he was going to try and interfere or stop the game rather than just play it again. It's probably all part of their plan though. I think a large part of season 2 will show how they recruit people into the organization itself.

I was really into the show up until the final few episodes, and then it kind of died out for me. Still enjoyed the whole thing, but I wanted better things to happen in the final games

I thought it was obvious in the marble episode as did my wife. At least that he was the host they introduce after without showing him having died on screen and not showing the face of the host, but showing his old man hands. Then all the other clues just fell into place like them stopping the fight when he finished his speach.

I don't think he's going to be another player. I don't know how he could take down the games by being a player again. I would imagine he'd start some group that would try to infiltrate and bring the games down somehow.

I feel stupid because I actually did predict it was him running the whole thing. He just was written too pure and sympathetic and didn't match the tone of the show at all. When he revealed that he was faking his alzheimers I was like "I knew there was more to this guy!" But then I stupidly never considered that the death was a fakeout lol

Too much anime. So used to fakeout deaths now I just assume that is the case if they didn't explicitly die on screen. Not a fan of them in general, but I think it was fine here.

Wasn't it because he saw his brother in law was still alive?

I have pretty much no confidence in the writer's ability to continue the story when the first one wasn't super amazing and wasn't even intended to have a follow-up. I'll check it out if reviews are good.

We both saw the same ending right? Gi-Hun made a last minute decision that he wanted to stop the Games somehow instead of living life with his daughter and millions of dollars. It clearly set up 2nd season.

There isn't that much gore, actually. People die, that much is true (mostly by getting shot). The sadistic behavior of the VIPs is clearly meant to be symbolic of capitalism in general.

It's not the gore that bothers me. It just the premises that of people who actually do this. Put money up to watch people die.

In hostile 2 when the Japanese lady jumped in front of the train I had to stop watching the movie. She was so fucked up and gone that death was the only thing she could think about.

Supposedly the 2nd season will be very different from the first. The only clue they have given is that the main guy will "do something amazing for the world "

My theory is he somehow gets the Squid Game shut down, and exposes everyone involved. And then gets the world to be more aware of human suffering so people help each other more

It will probably end there. I bet there isn't a 3rd season

The only way it will be good is if they escalate the situation, which is a great writing challenge.

Also the guy running the game, I feel the ending was saying that he will be directly in the games this time, just like the master was before. At first I thought continuing with the same cast would be weird, but that concept, the two of them being in the games, is pretty interesting
