im surprised nobody has made a thread about the hot new netflix show squid game. about a bunch of broke and desperate people competing in kids games to win a huge sum of money. but it is also very deadly. i loved it. it even taught me stuff i did not know about south korea. and it was always so tense and exciting. because you had no idea what would happen next. what do you all think? lets discuss it here. and if you have not seen it. watch it before reading the thread as there will be spoilers. here is a link to the wiki page about it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_Game

It isn't about mobsters or superheroes, of course people here wouldn't watch it lol

 

Still currently on episode 1, and I'm actually really blown away by the acting. It actually blows a lot of hollywood stuff out of the water tbh

I saw it advertised about a week ago - but I had other stuff on my mind then + chappelle's THE CLOSER was #1 on my watch-list

 

yesterday though I jumped in, korean original with subs (f*ck yeah) - and I loved it. as sabitsuki said, the acting is really good and it feels so fresh, seeing no actors you know from other movies/shows. reminds me of "memories of a murder". the acting is intense!

 

stopped after episode 1, because this is NOT the show to binge-watch, if you ask me, I wanna take my time with it!

That's not the reason why I don't watch it, though. I'm not even a fan of superhero films in general. Don't care for Avengers, Batman, Venom, or any of that stuff. And yet, still I have zero interest in watching Squid Game.

I'm like 5 or 6 episodes in, and while the idea is good, it's not mindblowing.

 

Meanwhile, while everybody is raving about Squid Game, Succession has continued, which is head and shoulder above anything else currently on tv imo.

Finally caught a few episodes of it.

While nothing groundbreaking, the acting is superb and it's definitely worth a peek. 👍

i watched it when it came out. i mean it's okay, it's enjoyable. i was told beforehand that it had too much blood and violence and that it was disgusting yet it was just....average? anyways, i personally enjoyed it, and i liked the acting in it. won't spoil but i rooted for someone else yet it was so obvious :yee:

Finished watching Squid Game. Here's my take on it.

 

The game has an air of foreboding and enigma prevails since the very first episode, until the end. To be brutally honest first episode I didn’t have much clue to what it was about since the games are essentially based on children's games played in the 1970's and 1980's in South Korea and essentially re-invented in the modern day and age. This show is probably and arguably one of the best Netflix originals of all time.

 

I never watched the trailer and I am glad I didn't cause IMHO, the best way to watch something is certainly watching it without any knowledge of it and watch from start to finish uninterrupted or knowing what’s gonna come next. But I can’t wait till next season, season two of the show and good thing is they left/ended season one on a very nice ending with a bit of suspense (for good reason).

 

The show manages to juggle themes of social inequality, immigration, honor, the thin veneer of "civilization", conspiracy & loyalty without dropping any of them at a single point of point.  I went into this show thinking I would mostly enjoy it and that would be it, however I didn't expect it to impact me as much as it did. The hype Squid Game is receiving at the moment is very much deserved and I would definitely recommend it.

I binge watched it when I got my second covid vaccine couple weeks ago, felt sick at the night and could not sleep so just decided to binge the whole show.

Don't know what to think about it,,,, I liked it but also disliket it. Weird show but good. Little bit predictable.

If it gets second season il probably watch because i want to know how it continues.

Overhyped but enjoyable show.
Squid Game came at the right place and right time.
