Squid Game Netflix?

Anybody been watching? Its a South Korean series about people in financial ruin who take part in a game for a lot of money but losing means death.

Its fantastic

It sounds like Would You Rather a little bit.:flutter:

Me and my wife are watching this because my daughter (12) really wants to watch it but I don't think it's appropriate for her at all. I've no particular aversion to her seeing violence BUT in my opinion it has to be contextual and I don't think she could possibly understand the underlying themes of the show (a critique of capitalism, themes of gambling addiction, loan sharks, financial anxiety etc.) so from her perspective it would just be violence for the sake of it. She's ****ing furious we haven't let her watch it though.

Great show (for adults) though :joker:.

My son recommended this so next on my list

I am the last ep of White Lotus ...anyone watched it?

It looks terrible, but maybe I'll give 1 episode a go and see what happens

Amazing :clap1:

Ignoring the fact I was forced to watch it in dubbed English :notimpressed:

Husband has been talked about it for days so we'll give it a watch. It looks fun.

Ok just watched episode 1 and it is pretty good

Also Player 001 is my favourite [emoji854]

On episode 2, hooked already

Got 3 eps left to watch. Didn't think it would be my thing but sucked me in :laugh: perfect for a rainy saturday afternoon binge fest. Going to finish it this afternoon.

Agree on your fave player....mine too

Smallest and me watched ep one last night, pretty good - gave me The Prisoner vibes

no need to watch this

another irrelevant piece of gibberish from Netflix with sole interests of creating hype and more profits for them :idc:

Binged the **** out of it in the end, watched the last 5 episodes back to back last night :laugh: It's so good

I did the same over the weekend.

It takes a lot for me to get so invested - but loved it.

Hope they do a second series

I'd say they will going by how they left it at the end

We finished this last night too (watched three episodes yesterday - the other two during a 2 hour "lunch break" when we were both meant to be WFH :joker: ). Dodgy acting from the English-voiced characters aside, it was excellent start to finish. I called one or two of the twists but that's because I watch too much telly :joker:. Massive rule of television and movies - "no body no death" so;

Spoiler:

But yeah - very compelling viewing.

Although one other thing...

Spoiler:

oh my god, just saw a theory about this, it's blown my mind

Spoiler:

If you don't like this Show Nicky then you might prefer Future Diary.

I haven't seen Squid Game yet, I'm hoping that it lives up to it's hype and that it's not another Stranger Things (no offence Strictly Jake) but that was such an average Show imo, especially when compared to it's popularity.

I've just started it 2 nights ago, loving it, it's incredible! Just finished episode 6.

Spoiler:

urg i cant watch anymore till the boy comes on Friday

i did promise

:(
