Netflix's Squid Game is set to return for season 2 this week, with a wealth of new players joining the game.
The main idea of the article is that the new Squid Game season 2 appears to be mirroring a parallel reality from the Squid Game reality show.
Specifically, a mother-son duo featured in the reality show will also appear in the fictional season 2. This parallels the real-life experience of the duo on the reality show, but in Squid Game, the stakes are far higher and the outcome is likely to be much more tragic. This creates a sense of eerie reflection and foreshadows potential heartbreak for the characters.
