season 2 was fine, still not slop. but definitely not necessary.

next season will be pure slop though

Next season is already out. It's ... not bad compared to the first as far as having upsetting things on screen, but the problem is it's purposefully not a happy story. So many people are upset that it didn't follow a cliche narrative pattern, but what happens is kinda'... literally the point of the show's existence?

Basically, it's worth a watch, but only if you understand that it is not a happy story. On purpose. That's the point. (some of the twists were still a bit dumb, though)

I thought season 2 was in two parts.

it was fine.

by next season I mean the American version

it's squid games. from the death games horror genre, if you expect a happy story you have only yourself to blame

Yea, and they were never going to let most of the characters survive even in the best of cases, so the people getting upset at this or that character dying is kinda' hilarious.

like a vegan ordering a steak
