The first season offered a reasonably good execution on a brilliant premise, but there were times that it threatened to fall apart. Most famously and notably, the late season introduction of the “elites” was so poorly written that it almost destroyed the show. I have my doubts that the second run will hold it together.

Squid game wasn't really anything unique or special. There are tons of Japanese shows that have the concept of "if you lose a game you die".
