I wouldnt advise you to watch it. especially if your under 15.

a 15 year old me wouldnt be able to handle it tbh (im older now) , there is lots of blood and gore, that even I had to skip a few bits.

watching blood and gore in zombie or supernatural shows doesn't faze me because i know they aren't real. but this is different, these are real people in a situation that's doesn't seem that much impossible and it's heartbreaking. they all know what's at stake and they are still doing it. terrible.

I liked it and I usually hate tv series.

imo it's not overrated, it's extremely popular rn and I can see why, the set and color scheme, unique music, costumes and stuff like that alone make me really like it more than your average battle royale type of show/movie, plus the actors were all really good (except for all those foreign people lol) and the show really keeps you reeled in at all times

It’s crazy how many filmmakers and writers take notes from anime’s but Japan never gets the credit. Seriously, Squid game is basically Kaiji plot with As the God’s will.

nah it was good, very good. it shows how fucked up the society is now, every single person. how gambling screws your life and you know how many people are like that in the world now? millions. when you lose your humanity and become kind of animal, that pig-face transparent money holder is so symbolic too. you know what I was thinking? what I will do if I were them? would I risk it all to survive? it is a survival show, idk what people expected it to be? the games? it's so simple yet so hard. I think actors played well too. well done

you're so quirky

I think it's ok to think it's overrated but isn't it it good that it's putting korean series on the map?

I've never seen cnn write anything about other korean dramas before and there's like 5 articles
