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

[Mystic Mock]

It sounds like Would You Rather a little bit.

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 .

My son recommended this so next on my list

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

[Niamh.]

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

[Babayaro.]

Amazing

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

[Captain.Remy]

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

[DouglasS]

I binged it

[Niamh.]

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

Agree on your fave player....mine too

[LeatherTrumpet]

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

[Nicky91]

no need to watch this

[Nicky91]

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

[Niamh.]

Binged the **** out of it in the end, watched the last 5 episodes back to back last night 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

[Toy Soldier]

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 ). 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 . Massive rule of television and movies - "no body no death" so;

Spoiler:

I knew 001 wasn't dead because they panned away from his death, on a show that has no issues showing violence. And then when the "frontman" mentioned that "the host" wasn't joining them it was fairly obvious that the host was 001. Following the same rule - I expect the detective will be back in S2, because whilst surviving that fall seems unlikely, if they weren't planning a return he'd have been shot in the head not the shoulder.

The other one I called early was The Frontman being the detective's missing brother, which I think became genuinely obvious fairly quickly, but as soon as the detective got there I was saying "I bet his brother is on the staff, not a contestant/dead".

But yeah - very compelling viewing.

Although one other thing...

Spoiler:

That red hair at the end is inexplicable. I know it's meant to be symbolic but he looks ridiculous and I nearly drowned on my hot chocolate. He looks like a teacher my daughter had years ago ... a woman in her mid 50's.

[Niamh.]

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

Spoiler:

That 001 is actually 456's dad

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.

[Tony Montana]

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

Spoiler:

Felt really sorry for Abdul Ali. His ''friend'' took the piss taking advantage of him.

[LeatherTrumpet]
