Just totally worth it.

Visually excellent, the dark broody streets of run down neighbourhoods contrasted with the pastel, immaculate high contrast world of the game, Superbly cast and acted, the characters are well written, their desperation made palpable and importantly, all too believable. Kept me invested throughout with episode 6 being one of my favourite and most emotionally resonant episodes of television I'd seen in a while. Goes a bit off the boil towards the end which was my least favourite part and ...

A perfect opening and great second episode , is let down by below average follow up episodes , which are unable to achieve the tensions or intrigue presented in earlier episodes. It may be masterpiece for those who have find death game genre through squid game, but the series death game personally didn't do much for me because I have expirenced the games and tension and political commentary from superior servings such as Kaiji and thousands of other death battle manga, Liar Game being the...

extremely disappointing idea theft So once there was "The most dangerous game" (you see "game" in the title?) where shipwreckes survivors are hunted by Count Zaroff and if they survive they're free. Then on the "survive or win" we have Cube, Saw, Death race, Hunger games, Battle royale (already the most ripped off in Squid Game, As the gods will (also extremely ripped off in Squid Game). So here the theme is the bleak today's world where a father can'...

Whilst not an entirely original idea, "Squid Game" is done with enough inspiration, to warrant at least, a look.
That said, it took me quite some time to tune in. The idea didn't immediately appeal to me, as it did a lot of other viewers. I found the first season, creative, colourful and more than little disturbing. Of course, children's games combined with murder, was never going to be comfortable mix.
I do believe season one is markedly better than the seco...

I like it.

Masterpiece in every way! It's super interesting. Not a single dull moment in this show. One of the best shows out there.

Season 1 was amazing. MY favorite show probably. I had made a costume within that month because Halloween was so close and costumes werent made yet. The 2nd season though was far from that. I give the first season a 95%. I give season 2 and 50%. maybe since the 2nd season is split in half and made into a 3rd by netflix, but the character building was not good. They were lazy and reused half the games. Just felt corney and rushed. Out of such an amazing 2nd season, they had so much they could ...


Squid Game (Season 1) is a gripping South Korean thriller that blends intense social commentary with pulse-pounding drama. The story follows 456 desperate contestants competing in deadly children’s games for a massive cash prize, exposing the brutal extremes of capitalism and human desperation. Hwang Dong-hyuk’s sharp writing and direction, paired with standout performances—especially Lee Jung-jae as the flawed Seong Gi-hun—create a visceral, emotionally charged experience. The vibran...

The show was amazing but season 3 did not turn out to be as good as expected

You people are horses, horses at a racetrack. We bet on you.
I'm going to be completely honest and say that I'm too attached to this damn show and it's characters that I cannot give it a rating below 80.
I wouldn't say the show has perfect writing or pacing, but the highs are extremely high.
