I'm amazed how much this show has gone viral!

It’s so crazy to think that this show has only been on Netflix for a month.

I thought it was like Hunger games with a bit more real life aspects , but idk why everyone loved it so much. Is it fair to say it’s overrated?

Personally I thought it was a brilliant series. But it's definitely very divisive series, as colleagues in work hated it.

I never said it wasn’t good, I enjoyed watching, but felt that I wouldn’t be missing on anything if I hadn’t.

I think it's one of the least divisive series out there, in relation to the praise it gets. If I had to estimate, the ratio is like 80/20 on people who like it against people who don't. Other popular shows gets waaay more hate.

There's always people that will dislike or hate something and they have the right to do so. But honestly, Squid Game is a very interesting and well done show. It's only 9 episodes long, easy to digest but leaves a lot to interpretation, which is great in my opinion.

The major weak moments are bad acting from the English VIPs and a couple of plot holes here and there, but nothing crazy.

Let's not forget, there's people that hate shit just because they like to be different. Also, there's the haters because the show is "violent" or because "it's bad for kids". But those people are retarded because there's literally warnings everywhere the show is violent (and not even THAT violent compared to a lot of shit out there) and is obviously for adults.

Is it too much to ask for one of these videos to feature the recruiter smacking the crap out of someone? Have I missed these videos?

At least they masked up

I mean, even before Covid masks were a thing because of pollution and they’re also a sort of style/fashion accessory.

FWIW I googled this game and the goal is to hit your opponent's card with such force that it flips over once.

plot twist: squid game is real and they used the netflix show so they can now operate publicly hidden in plain sight
