Season 2 of "Squid Game," the nervewracking Netflix show, is out. Here's how many episodes are in Season 2 and whether there will be a Season 3.

Except it's not, because three years later, the world in which "Squid Game 2" (streaming now, ★★ out of four) returns is drastically different than it was in 2021. And part of that difference is the effect of "Squid" itself: What was once a deeply shocking satire and critique of capitalism has become so popular and ubiquitous that it's too easily reduced to punchlines and memes.
