Wednesday Season 2 may be split up into two chapters, but it’s definitely more than the sum of its parts. The second season involves B-stories, C-stories, running gags, and even 30-Rock-style cutaway gags that harken back to TV long past. It’s hard not to compare Wednesday to Squid Game, the other big Netflix series that returned for Season 2 after many years. But Wednesday completely skipped the sophomore slump Squid Game fell into: even just the first half of Wednesday Season 2 is a more complete story than the entirety of Squid Game Season 2. As is expected with a two-part season, there’s a big cliffhanger in the final moments, but fans only have to wait four more Wednesdays for Season 2 on September 3.
