The second season of Squid Game hits Netflix on December 26th, bringing more of the brutal action to the streaming service.
In the three years since Squid Game became Netflix’s biggest property, it’s been easy to forget just why it was so popular to begin with. The unflinching story of class conflict that combined iconic visuals, schoolyard games, and a nihilistic view of humanity, has largely been buried beneath ill-conceived reality shows, influencer knockoffs, cartoon-ish mobile games, and all manner of brand tie-ins.
That means learning a lot more about the mysterious and unflappable salesman, who seems to take a perverse delight in terrorizing the poor and destitute. There’s also some insight into the guards who patrol the games. We learn that they aren’t all that different from the contestants themselves: desperate people doing desperate things inside of a financial system that has failed them. A few episodes in, the show pivots back to the games and starts to look very familiar.
