Early reviews are split over the anthology’s bigger scope.

  • The new installment, which launched Thursday, releases all eight episodes at once on Netflix.
  • Season 2 shifts to an anthology entry set at an elite country club where two couples get entangled after staff record a heated argument.
  • Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny lead the season, with Youn Yuh-jung and Song Kang-ho appearing in guest roles.
  • Creator Lee Sung Jin returns, and the leads say their input shaped character details and scripts discussed at a Los Angeles press conference.
  • Critics are divided, with some hailing a sharp, performance-driven follow-up and others calling it overcrowded or likening it to White Lotus.
