I'm a few eps in, I'm pleasantly surprised how it's only a bit worse than S1 not complete sell out cash-grab(only slightly)
Here's my quick spoiler-light S2E2 'review'(a paragraph of thoughts);

Not too bad, the anti-capitalism becomes even more blunt and in your face, some ok anti-cryptocurrency stuff, and the series first (that I know of)trans character who looks to be one of the main 'players' going forwardObvious plot hole, the guns from the first game('Red light, green light') that were clearly supposed to be automated when shown previously in S1( the doll cameras tracking movement , the gun barrels moving 'robotically') are now controlled by human snipers; it's just a 'dramatic' way to re-introduce a S1 character as one of the masked (wo)men, imo this was a bad decision as what made that game scary is the impersonal nature of the doll tracking any-movement during a 'red light' and instantaneously executing disqualified players with no way to reason with it, and there're a thousand other ways they could have re-introduced that person, some of which would be more impactful
EDit: Just finished the season the ending is bullshit just cliff-hanger setup for the next season, leaves a bad taste in my mouth about the rest tbh, especially the boat guys plot which had basically no movement over the whole series
E6 review; guy says 'Skrrt'
Was she in season 1? I thought she was a new character with a similar background to another character. She's a North Korean defector who still has family in the DPRK trying to smuggle them into Occupied Korea. Still thought it was a nice plot twist that we assumed she'd be recruited as a player for the games, but it turns out she's a guard who enthusiastically participates in murdering people.
You're actually right it's a new character with essentially the same backstory(mother rather than brother she's trying to rescue/traffic), I stand by my point that they could have shown she was a mask rather than player without damaging the impact of the first game
Thank you for the review, that's exactly the sort of response I was hoping for
