Squidgame S2 was good, but it was also extremely obviously just the first half of an actual S2 - to the point that the first episode of S3 (all I've watched so far) is literally part 2 of the season finale 2 parter, which is fine(?) for an episodic structured tv show kind of deal, but kind of shitty when its episodic due to format not content and fairly obviously stretched out to two seasons to maintain subs longer than the month of content drop.

I'll finish it up and post thoughts, but I'd have rather watched the whole thing when it should have released, and Sandman is coming out next week which I'd rather watch first
The first season was fairly good, and the stuff I wasn't a big fan of could stil have worked as part of the 'bigger picture', but they've already said season 2 is the final season which is crazy given what they've covered so far and what's still left to cover, and not only that this season also includes a fucking spin off miniseries within it, so.... yeah, I wanna see whats what.
My prewatch supposition is them saying Gaimain getting cancelled has nothing to do with this season being the last is pure horseshit, but maybe they do satisfactorily ~30 comic books worth of content in a 10 episode Netlfix season after taking a previous 10 to cover about 8.

The Bear S3 was mostly good, but it was spinning its wheels quite a fucking lot and I'm not super hyped for S4 as a result - if they don't start getting back to some plot things happening in favour of 'just vibes', I'm not sticking around for a hypothetical S5.
