Squid Game on Netflix

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Surprised to discover there isn't already a thread for this.

I held back on starting to watch this until a bit of the furor died down (apparently it was originally made available Sep 17th 2021).

I'm watching the RAW version (NOT dubbed) with English subtitles (watching "The Host" 15 years back taught me that was the way to go).

Acting is amazing, script is original & (at times) shocking . . . although, like anything, "exposure" tends to lessen the blow (a bit) as time goes on.

I'm half-way though S01E04 and felt the urge to see if anyone had posted here - they hadn't - so I am

Very VERY clever so far, and they keep adding something fresh with each episode. Character backstories and character building are also well done. Hope the excellence continues to the end (9 episodes in total for season 1).

Just finished it last night! . . .

Well I was a couple of nights behinds you - VERY addictive - and continued to be clever right up to (and including) the very end scene.

Also continued to be shocking . . . there were quite a few times I found myself wide-eyed and covering my mouth in shock and/or shouting "No!"

I'd strongly suggest folks do what I did, and avoid ANY temptation to look things up - it's way better going in cold.

Another winner for Netflix, and something every participant (regardless of role/job) will be able to PROUDLY list on their resume.

Wow.

I wasn't going to bother but I didn't understand the memes I kept seeing for it. I did not regret my choice.
I really enjoyed it, and as the Spikeman said you need to go in fresh.
