Netflix has finally realized that the decision to make Squid Game Season 2 was a mistake, as they failed to capture the magic of the first season that had generated such hype. The sequel had a lot of criticism regarding lack of emotional depth, uneven pacing, and over-reliance on shock value rather than meaningful storytelling. Critics and viewers alike were not satisfied with this series, claiming that it would have been perfect if it were a one-season wonder. The fact that the company decided against the third season of the show was an acknowledgment of its mistake and the respect given to a story’s natural end instead of financial gains. The cultural impact of Squid Game is left to be with its original purpose.
