Squid Game creator thoroughly sick of the show after wrapping S2

You can tell it was supposed to be just two seasons but Netflix have stretched it out into three, lot of padding and it ends literally as if it's a mid season break. Aside from that the first two episodes are brilliant.
I didn't realize it was a Netflix production. I had just figured it was some Korean thing they acquired rights to broadcast elsewhere.

Don't really care if I get a lot of flack for this but just want to say the actor playing the trans woman did a phenomenal job. All the new characters were awesome.

I'm just gonna post again just to piggy back. What's up with the lack of ambiguity in media anymore? I watched Anatomy of a Fall recently and I LOVED that it concluded in such a way that it
I read an article the other day about how Netflix, Amazon, et. al. are sending notes to producers to make the shows with the mind that people are only half-paying attention to the screen. That's really where we are at now. All this stuff is being made as background noise. it's also being made for brainrotted zoomers and millennials who absolutely cannot handle subtlety and think that the characters in this media are actual people with real lives.

I am reminded of that movie "The Fault in Our Stars" where Shailene Woodley goes to Amsterdam to ask an author what happened to the characters at the end of the book. His response was like, "it's a work of fiction, it doesn't matter, retard" and he is treated like agiant asshole but really that's the only right answer.

Oh, it was always my thesis theory. It was one or two people who were relevant were... I can't remember if Hampton agreed with me or not. But I remember someone had said, “Well, isn't it corny?” I said, “Listen, I'll be the best fucking judge of that. I'm the director, okay?” So, and that, you learn -- you know, by then I'm 44, so I'm no fucking chicken. I'm a very experienced director from commercials and The Duellists and Alien. So, I'm able to, you know, answer that with confidence at the time, and say, “You know, back off, it's what it's gonna be.” Harrison, he was never -- I don't remember, actually. I think Harrison was going, “Uh, I don't know about that.” I said, “But you have to be, because Gaff, who leaves a trail of origami everywhere, will leave you a little piece of origami at the end of the movie to say, ‘I've been here, I left her alive, and I can't resist letting you know what's in your most private thoughts when you get drunk is a fucking unicorn!’” Right? So, I love Beavis and Butthead, so what should follow that is “Duh.” So now it will be revealed one way or the other.
