Squid Game 2 Review: No Spoilers! + Beast Games Comparison

🤔 Just finished Squid Game 2, Episode 3, and I am hooked! Interestingly, I never watched Season 1 because I wasn’t a fan of all the gore and blood splattering. But after years of dramas on Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime, I’ve grown somewhat desensitized—every show seems to lean heavily into it these days.

That said, I realized Season 2 really relies on the detailed knowledge of Season 1. Even though I skipped it, the story and tension in Season 2 are gripping enough to keep me invested.

What’s funny is, I can’t stop comparing it to Beast Games on Amazon Prime, which I watched first. It’s clear Beast Games takes heavy inspiration from Squid Game, but with one major difference: no one dies! While Squid Game thrives on high-stakes survival, Beast Games focuses more on strategy and competition.

Both are incredible in their own ways, but there’s no denying that Squid Game set the gold standard for this genre. What are your thoughts? Have you watched either—or both?

Macbook Air M1 Case

I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee @Adrian Video Image The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.
