"Squid Game" Season 2 just had its biggest week-to-week viewership decline in its brief history. Hard to make history that way.

Since its premiere on December 26, 2024, over 150 million people have watched the long-awaited series Squid Game season 2, making it Netflix’s biggest TV debut ever. However, not all viewers have probably caught on to the myriad of details its director Hwang Dong-hyuk has hidden and scattered throughout the episodes.

Squid Game Season 2 had some big shoes to fill when it arrived, given just how wildly successful the Emmy-winning first season was. And although the sophomore run on Netflix was a fun one, the format change was frustrating. Specifically, that it took us so long to get in the games, and how few games actually happened through the second season.
