Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits - with deadly high stakes.
Thought Squid Game was twisted? Creator of the gory hit is writing a new film called Killing Old People Club - and says it will be even MORE violent than the Netflix series
I know, right?! I tend to assume we'll get fairly tidy, happy endings. This one floored me and excited me.

Finally finished this. Liked it more than Alice. My question throughout was 'who exactly are we supposed to be rooting for?'. And my answer of 'clearly not the lead' was borne out in the end. The lead is still unbelievably selfish even after all of that. He leaves the kid in the orphanage for a year, does nothing for his mother who's either stuck in China or the North, depending on which episode we're going by, doesn't help the homeless guy himself, doesn't help the guy in the same situation out of his terrible life, just takes the card which he knows they'll replace, and then disappoints his kid again to go on a personal quest to find out about the people running the game. The only real growth here is he doesn't care anymore so he can have a K-pop haircut for his midlife crisis.

I hope they do a 2nd season. I finished "Alice in Borderland" yesterday. Loved it, but you really need to suspend disbelief (I did a lot of shouting at the screen) while "Squid Game" could possibly happen. Maybe.
Next up: Battle Royale and the rest of Witch's Diner.

Finished season 1. The show turned out to be less awesome than I thought, but I still recommend it to everyone who likes the trailer.
I read that the show is quite popular and there's a good chance for another season.

Well, I really liked it. Massive shock in the first episode, a little slower after that but building to a great end.
You didn't actually see the old man get shot, just heard it. A good twist

I can see a season 2 for this. Here's hoping.
