The best game in Squid Game yet but the emotional impact is lacking slightly

This was definitely the best game in Squid Game yet-horrifying and everything that was great about Season 1: the dread, the hopelessness, and the betrayals. However, the emotional impact doesn't quite compare to Episode 6 of Season 1.

It's not a big surprise, though, because by now it's clear that Season 1 had much stronger storytelling. Part of that came from experiencing it for the first time & seeing far more level of desperation, fear, and helplessness.

Also The secondary plotline was solid until the you know who came. In this season, it feels like they're saying, "Whoops, wrong island again!"

The voting scene in this episode was amazing. Squid Game remains a masterpiece from a directional standpoint, but this season doesn't always maintain that quality. The drop in direction from episode to episode is noticeable. You'll see a home run in Episode 1, but then Episodes 4 and 5 fall behind. Still, it's an engaging show, largely because the main leads are some of the best in Korea.
