Squid Game

[Sakura94]

Anyone else watch/watching this? I didn't notice another thread here. I don't normally keep tabs on current trends but even I've heard of it.
It's been one of the few things I've enjoyed in a long while. It had fun characters and a neat concept.
And I would totally compete lol.

@VictoriaShadows I did. Thought it was a great commentary on income inequality. Nowhere near as violent as all the hype made it out to be.

I absolutely hated the main character, from the start to the end.

Really, I thought he was funny. I mean he was a complete loser but that's what makes him relatable to me.
I mean everyone was fairly paper thin and the show got passed this by upping the melodrama but that's what I liked about it. I didn't have to think much.

I was thinking of watching this but I feared it might be a bit too sadistic for my tastes. What do you think? I just don't want to see unnecessarily cruel and humiliating scenes.

Nearly every person gets killed by getting shot. It looks incredibly fake. Most broadcast tv is more graphic.

Ah, sounds alright then. Thank you!

I'm just mad that this isn't a Splatoon show. I don't think I'll watch it since I'm not really into Korean stuff anyway.

There is no torture or anything and a lot of the deaths occur off screen.
