Default What are your thoughts on Squid Games?

I'm finding it hard to finish episodes

The actual 'games' themselves are entertaining and well thought out.

But it's all rather hammy.

In places it is just ridiculous. Over the top theatrics and characters which are just really annoying.

I want to like it more than I do.

…I liked the first season, it was a solid storyline and the games were well thought out in how brutal they were…I have tried to get into the second season but haven’t been able to so far so I’ve put it aside for the moment…I do think that these things are a ‘timing’ thing as well and sometimes your enjoyment of them will be much more than other times…

…I watched some of a series called Beast Games over Christmas, which someone introduced me to…and that was brutal in a Squid Games type way because it was for real and not a fictional thing …it was cringeworthy and awful but equally fascinating and addictive…

I don’t mind it. Season 2 is annoying they’ve split it and dragged it out over another season

I prefer Alice in Borderland if I’m honest.

i just haven't been motivated to watch season 2. I actually can't now remember much of what happened in season 1 and to compare i could tell you nearly everything that happened in dexter, game of thrones, lost and 24, years after they were first shown
