Great first episode. I didn't expect that guy to be such a menace. I guess you'd have to be a psycho to participate in something like this.

JayCnY

I agree I was skipping a lot the last 2-3 episodes. Concept was dope though.

WHY

The monologue in the final episode of s2 is actually the key of the show. It actually plays with audiences’ mind regarding the different theories and possible answers to the mystery of the show (what kind of world they’re in) before the final big reveal. That’s where the plot twist lies. It’s a shame that you skipped it :’(

WHY

Acting in AiB leans towards anime-like but it’s done on purpose, not necessarily bad acting, especially not for the main characters. IMO the story of AIB is actually better than SG as it has more plot twists and better theme (meaning of life/ purpose of living/ true nature of one self in AiB than just playing childhood games for the sake of money and people betting on others’ deaths in SG). The games are not just about the games themselves but carries life lessons and moral values. If you understand the references to Alice in Wonderland, pick up the details and the metaphors in the subtitles (English as opposed to English cc) and get the “borderland” concept, you may reconsider it and have a different view.

ash

i agree!!

Loved this first episode!

Mama Browsss

You guys need to watch Train to Busan! That creepy guy is in it, such a phenomenal actor and the movie is sooo good! I would love to see you react to it, but if not, you should at least watch cause I know you'll love it. Check out the trailer - https://youtu.be/1ovgxN2VWNc?si=kHbz5Crrezla3PiL

Sasha

Train to Busan is very great

Bachira

It's funny how whenever Americans watch something like this they always say "don't they have guns?" I'm an American myself, so I can relate, but no, loan sharks in Korea wouldn't normally carry firearms. They might have some hidden in their buildings like you saw in the episode, but concealed carry isn't very common at all.

Anya

Crazy how I watched almost all his work besides Train to Busan. Just finished The Trunk recently too.

Riya

yeah i knew it too. I was just kinda saying during the last game, one of them could have died earlier but since it's a show and to make it dramatic, the bullet fired at the recruiter's turn. In real life, there is a chance one of them could have died earlier (main character). Anyway it's nothing big lool

Andy Larkin

We all knew even before they started that it was going down to the last bullet, and that the recruiter was dead.

Kelsey

There are others as well, not just the 2 from Sweet Home, but yes

Riya

That’s what I just said haha

Dio

Of course they’re adding drama to the plot, it’s a TV show 😂

Redbone

you mean "Sweet Home" also on netflix?

Kelsey

@Vanesa - this new cast is full of big names in Korea. I've seen most of these actors/actresses in so many other shows. and then there's some people from the korean music industry as well

Riya

Yeah I know but I was pointing out that they are adding drama and plot because Seong made it out at the end. It could go the other way too like in the episode and as you said

Anton Sakshaug

Oh mb, but u know what u meant😅

Frank Francis

you only call the first episode of a show a pilot, not every season first episode, smh

Sasha

He's very good in Train to Busan and Silenced also.

LaYami・砂漠の子

fk man i really loved kim and the other guy, they really grew on me on that episode what a sad ending

Stairguy

You’re basing this on what? Sure they want to add the drama but that’s literally how odds work 😂. There is nothing about the odds that say it couldn’t happen exactly how it did.

Juliet

Omg you’re right, that’s why he looks so familiar ahahah

mjenkinsify

where i live, today somebody won $1,000,000 lottery ticket at the grocery store up the street lol.

Riya

If it was real life, I feel like the recruiter would have died when he was explaining the rules of the rock, paper, and scissor. but for the purpose of the show, he didn't die. Also when Seong and the recruiter were going against each other, one of them would have died earlier instead of at the last min. For the purpose of the show, the bullet fired at the end and it ended up being the recruiter who died. It's very different from AiB, which doesn't depend on luck, you have to think how to get out of the situation. Overall a crazy episode indeed

accomplice

it wasn't that bad, it was just abrupt

~Mercedeez Lee~

I heard season 3 episodes were originally apart of season 2 ( they have already filmed them ), but the director thought the season was too long. So they made the split, that’s why it ended with a cliff hanger episode. So technically it’s not an actual proper ending

Kesendo

W recruiter, he just wanted these homeless people to learn the hard way that lottery tickets are a scam 😂

Vanesa

Not the biggest fan of the new cast.

Redbone

😤 summerrrrrrr

Kelsey

the wait for the next season wont be nearly as long - don't worry

JAY

I haven’t seen the end yet but I did read that season 2 & 3 were written and filmed as sort of one full story arc and that season 3 is coming summer or fall of 2025.

Redbone

damn it, we all waited 3 years for this just to get a shitty ending 😒

Nash

I like season 1 more but I think the characters in this season are way more interesting.

Anton Sakshaug

Yeah same bro highkey

Sanji

Lowkey I like season 2 more than season 1 HAHAHA

Anton Sakshaug

Omg that pilot was so good wtf. Did not expect that but im so ready for this season now

Silvana Salinas

Also be careful on TikTok there's been a lot of spoilers on my end. I had to finish the entire of the series today since I didn't want to get spoiled. I can't wait for the rest of your reactions!

Sanji

I just binged season 2 and I think it’s pretty good. IMO season 1 is better but that doesn’t necessarily mean season 2 is bad. It’s kinda like Arcane s1 vs Arcane s2. Both seasons are amazing but obviously season 1 has all the heart.

ainsley

AHH CANT WAIT FOR ALICE AND BORDERLAND

lilac_pelican

idk why so many people came into season 2 with low expectations, if it was just gonna be a shitty cash grab they wouldn't have taken three years to make the second season. i just finished season 2 and i won't spoil anything, i'll just say that while i can't say which season was objectively better, i personally preferred season 2. the dynamics were wayyy more interesting to me and my favourite character in the show was only introduced this season, plus i think all the characters in this season were just generally more interesting :)

Osiris704

The Recruiter was giving me Kakegurui vibes the whole episode lol. You can tell that he genuinely enjoys gambling with people's lives and the psychological warfare that comes with it. Dude's a menace

Wafi Hassan

Yep sure looks like him

Ashley K

Yeah it is

Kelsey

idk, I binged this season and I really like it. It was much better than I thought it would be anyway....I came in with low expectations

Kelsey

yea - especially season 2......by the final episode I was just skipping forward through most of it because I was gonna jump if I had to sit through ONE MORE MONOLOGUE

accomplice

Just finished S2 of Squid Game they gave another very HUGEEE cliff hanger. It felt like.. you were having dinner at a 5 star restaurant eating the best thing in the world, then suddenly.. a bomb was under your chair and everything went BLACK, then your ears starts ringing "tinnitus"! Then you as a viewer, **starring at the screen for a few seconds in silence like (was that it!!?) don't know where to start asking questions and what to think of how it ended.. I like S1 more (9.2/10), while S2 for me was (8.7/10) I can't say much here, don't want to spoil to compare or discuss in-detail of what happened, but if I were to compare these base on something.. Squid Game S1: was more like pristine Attack on Titan perfection vibe, while Squid Game S2: was more like high-mid almost equivalent of the feeling of S2 of Arcane, like something about it was off as it keeps getting closer to the end. Goshhh, so exited how you boys will see through this remaining episodes. Be careful scrolling on tiktok and twitter might gets spoiled, but then its actually everywhere, nobody can really blame you. S2 was the best, but it wasn't the greatest like S1 some might beg to differ.

Sanji

Yall gotta watch Train to Busan if you haven’t seen it yet. Amazing movie

PST3

Exposition heavy and a slow start, and no one cares about the low level gangsters.

Enma

I was skeptical about having another season, but this episode was great and locked me back in. Excited to see more!

Kale

Is the guy at 14 mins the guy that wanted debts from him in ep 1? 😭 the one with the knife to the nose and taste the blood tactic

Sanji

I didn’t catch that foreshadowing haha

khalxeesi

I was in the exact same posture as bradlyn the whole russian roulette scene

Sanji

Oh no 😭

DC

The pilot was good the rest of the show no comment

Anya

Guess "gold chain" was right about his lucky dream....😭

Anya

Sooo good! He's always been my ❤️Goblin. Seeing this side of him was so captivating in a psychotic way 😄

Anya

Working on Christmas?! Thank you! Hope y'all had a good one! Nice to see a lady on the couch🩷

Sanji

This episode was surprisingly amazing. I expected s2 to just be a cash grab tbh.

Jv1300

Hope y’all had a good Christmas! Excited for this and continuing severance 🔥

Sanji

Alice in borderland has better death games but IMO the acting and story is significantly worse than squid games. It’s as entertaining but definitely worse quality

Sasha

Cannon said he would actually pass out but at the end he was already ready to play😵

Jakub Zielinski

cannon was right, the odds were 5 in 6

Sasha

Gong Yoo is built different🥶 he really should win an award for that.

Sasha

The dead guy definitely must have got plastic surgery on his vocal chords🧐

Sasha

Don't trust Jack with currencies🤭

Lydia

The acting performances in this show are truly insane. The last scene 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Isaiah

Merry Christmas everyone ! Hope yall had a great time with your families or whoever you celebrate with :)

bob

To see more of that crazy charismatic man y’all need to watch Train to Busan! nice to see bradlyn! Happy new year y’all. I was worried this would be too plainly a money grab and they’d sleep on the writing this time, but so far this ep they still managed to keep the same intensity 👀

TVGirl

We getting severance tonight? Also this season looks a lot better than what I expected

An

jo yuri my girl 🫶

Lydia

Why was I actually emotional when the boss sacrificed himself for chain guy (at least that’s what I’m thinking) 😭😭😭 it was an unexpected little character redemption from season 1

Mysterious Figure

I love a concept in a story of having a conflict of ideas/morals to the death. It just lets you know how strong characters' ideals are if they are willing to put their life on the line for them. It is also a perfect opportunity to show who REALLY believes in themselves versus someone who is lying to themselves. Like that underling "dog" guy probably hated his life constantly having to deal with seeing the worst in people on a daily basis. It's not surprising he would come to hate people that make those choices and see them that way. He possibly also hated those people because they actually HAD a choice, while he probably didn't because working for an employer such as his, he perhaps couldn't just quit his job, or else he would have been killed because he knew too much about the organization. So after being discovered, the organization might have killed him either way, so he could have killed himself because he knew he was already dead... or Gi-Hun actually made him really see himself as he truly is... so he felt like such a dog that he finally admitted to himself that kind of life wasn't worth it anymore. I think that scene is super interesting because I can't say for sure why the "dog" guy killed himself but can find multiple reasons why he did.

Redbone

gonna binge watch this show later tonight

Bradlynn Andrus

neve woods

So excited for Alice in the borderland 😮

~Mercedeez Lee~

Just finished binging the whole season, started at 7pm and finished a few minutes ago, it’s just after 2am now. I can say without a doubt that I actually enjoyed this season way more than the first. Without spoiling anything, I’ll just say that my reasoning is because the story/plot now has more depth to it but in a good way. So many interesting new characters as well. I can’t wait to see your guys reactions to this season and hear your guys thoughts on it

Bingsu

I think I've read somewhere that this season is better than what everyone is expected. I hope it really is!!! Excited for this new season. Happy holidays, everyone!

Ale

The episode was better that what I was expecting 😳

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! Can't wait to see how this season go

THAT WAS CRAZY HOLY SHIT. every new unplanned season of a show that just got popular is always a red flag of dragging this out. BUT HOLY SHIT THEY CREATIVE. my expectations were so low omg…
