There's a scene where the protagonist is playing russian roulette with one of the bad guys and when he's down to the last two chambers (they don't spin the gun) the bad guys says "Yeah you could just shoot me, but then you'd just be like all the rest, a piece of trash. You just got lucky." and then to prove a point Mr. Squid Game doesn't just shoot the other guy, but instead takes the 1:2 chance and makes it. Then he passes the gun to the other guy.

When the villain had that monologue I was so ready for the protagonist to go "yeah I did just get lucky, what are you even going on about? I know I'm not special." and then shoot him or something.

How many netflix failsons were allowed to give notes on this?

I have zero interest in watching another season of this. Can nothing just be a good miniseries anymore? Gotta run everything good into the ground until it sucks?

It’s the Netflix paradox lol. Good shit with an ongoing narrative gets cancelled after one season, stuff that should have been a one and done or maybe two seasons gets dragged out for years (see also: stranger things)

An exception to that rule might have been Bojack Horseman. It had a great ending after multiple seasons and resolved itself very nicely. IMHO, it might be the greatest show Netflix ever produced.

Generally speaking, you're right though. It doesn't just apply to Netflix, but almost every Television series. On the other side of the spectrum shows' greatnesses are realized long after they're canceled due to poor marketing, like Inside Job.

EDIT: small grammar change.
