I liked season 1 a whole lot.

But after it was over I knew it had been lightning in a bottle.

Where can you go for a second season??

Perhaps they can make it work. I'll watch it

As long as they don't have the shitty English speaking actors.

I'm actually pretty excited about this probably more than any other show that's coming out, not that I watch or keep up with that many series. How I watch a lot of independent horror films and what have you, but getting invested into a TV show is one of the things I have a hard time to do it now, considering you'll never know whether or not it's going to be completed, and then you just left pissing in the wind.

Like the fact that the first one was pretty self-contained, and I'd have that perfect ending of leaving it open ended, but you still got conclusion. Been watching a bunch of Korean movies lately, so that might be part of it. Finally I think I just appreciate the fact that they aren't woke, and despite the fact I'm not Korean, don't have their language, I guess I can relate to the characters in a lot of these movies a hell of a lot more than shit you see from Hollywood.

So after nooong out on this when it came out , I decided to give a second run. It definitely improves after episode one. Overall, glad I ended up coming back and watching it.

One thought ran through my head at the end. What would have happened if hot chick doesn't get ganked right before the final game? How do they handle an odd number of players in game six?

Pretty good. Naturally has a tranny. Asian shows still doing them better than western media.

Did the tranny have them all turn around so they didn’t see his balls moving on each kick? Or come untuck?

Wasn't really a fan, still fresh so I'll spoiler I suppose.

I finished it and felt like I kinda wasted 7 hours.

I liked the first, and it was amazing for the investment you had in characters and stuff as you then said bye to them and all of the shock and unflinching trauma it put in front of your eyeballs.

This season I cared about nobody, and the main guy's plot armor was so thick he might as well been physically been wearing it. The twists and turns of the season all seemed so telegraphed and predictable.

It feels like an incomplete season the way it ends. Season 3 is coming, and it's the finale for the series, but this felt like Season 2 part 1.

Think this has a Matrix problem, the concept and initial story were great in the moment. Expanding that to give us more installments is a combination of too much of a good thing and giving you the rope to hang yourself and make it not good.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with the spoilers. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first.

Anyway, while watching I was wondering....has anyone ever made a good single-player "Survivor" or "Squid Game" type of video game? Even a Telltale type of gameplay would be cool.

I would recommend not watching Season 2 until season 3 comes out.

I am really not liking shows that decide to split seasons like this. It is unfinished. They cut it right at the end of an event before the games are even concluded. Season one was complete, in that the main person survived and the games were finished. This one does not end in the same fashion. The games are not finished. I was enjoying most of it. Had I known it was going to pull a 1923, I would have not bothered with it.

Fuck this shit

So the side that wants to vote to end the game cause you know scared to fucking die and or just wants to live another fucking day will all of a sudden be your rebellion force?

SNL fred armisen getting boosted token tranny powers to hammer more in your face the fact a tranny is here and you will like it

Zero payoff from 001 being around let alone the logistics for heat of the moment better not kill the boss as they were probably instructed for all situations that have he has been in

Can smoke a limo for sleep but can’t smoke a whole room / chamber to regain control?

The acting this season has dialed up the stereotypical “Asian acting” at least they aren’t doing anime hand gestures

It’s like they are trying to prove they can act and are dramatic but it’s pushing into I don’t fucking care get to the games


And as far as I’m concerned there was 3 trannies this season cause I can’t fucking tell the difference

- main tranny - ma’am Fred armisen
- the witch tranny
- the side kick to thanos tranny

Cause every fucking time I saw those three I couldn’t tell if it was main tranny and they looked like chicks who are dudes

Damn it I was going to try to give you the mst3k great review reaction, but for some reason we don't have it in here.

So you're trying to tell me that when they were running forward in the red light green light game, they don't do the stupid anime cartoon for kids with their arms backwards run? I don't know what God damn show that is but I know it's a meme.

I guess I'm going to go ahead and wait for the next deal to come out before I attempt watching it.

Hard to put lightning back in a bottle and I thought Season 1 was vastly overrated, but this season or half season whatever is just pretty bad.

Over the top physical acting was given to the “Thanos” character and I put that in quotes cause I left that off for ridicule but might as well now

First season had IMG_5640.jpeg

And now you get a twinky character that must of been written immediately after and trying to cash in on infinity war / end game who runs around making faces like the Asian robots from that shitty robocop 3 sequel IMG_5641.jpeg

And I think it’s Naruto running you’re referring to

I’m sorry but I’m disappointed as I am so fucking desperate for good entertainment that makes for “water cooler” talk at work

There has been zero stuff to nerd out over for a long time and take it seriously world building what if stuff

It’s like they added in Reddit stereotypes and tropes

- trannies
- witchesVSpatriarchy with the tranny witch
- twinks and soyboys
- chick telling the dude to hide with her nose piercings and dyke hair, she’s tougher than men
- showing ageism isn’t a thing including old granny hanging fiercely and even old dude on the O side…both these old fucks should of been hard shut out by those who want to live/win
- even abortion stuff
- religion symbol but drugs, cruel intentions style

Every character when they talk is like a stage production where all go silent and **STOP** they are talking and are main character now must listen ….who gives a fuck about you no name person or character I can’t even bother to learn your name


Acolyte dude did do over the top voice dramatic acting for the red light green light which was kind of ok but he kept going on and on as such most them go on and on which is why I call it over the top “Asian” acting
