*Warning: Spoilers ahead*
The past few weeks have brought the arrival of new seasons of my favorite TV shows. Last week, we got The Traitors season three. This week, we get Severance season two. And over the holidays, we saw the debut of Squid Game season two.
It should come as no surprise that Squid Game got a follow-up installment—after all, season one was a massive hit. But as with any new season, expectations were high. And while season two has received mostly positive reviews (the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer which measures the critics' response is at a fresh 82 percent), audiences have given it a measly 63 percent—or 3.4 out of 5 stars—on the Popcornmeter. Sorry, y'all. But you're wrong. Squid Game season two is great.
