Squid Game

I think it's really good show but the VIP acting is horrible. Seems rushed and no quality.

Slowness to find Truth on the boat team.

Very rushed acting and quality. Looks like Ai is playing big part of it.

When Squid Game premiered on Netflix in 2021, it quickly became a global phenomenon-and for good reason. The South Korean series, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, is more than just a dystopian survival drama. It's a razor-sharp commentary on capitalism, human behavior, and the moral cost of desperation. While many have already praised its thrilling plot and visual style, Squid Game stands out for its meticulous attention to quality-both in storytelling and production.

I found the show to be fantastic, only ruined by the horrible VIP acting.

Would rate first season as 9/10, second and third - 5 or 6 max. Doesn't worth watching after first, it's nothing like first season, completely pointless things and undeveloped plot and characters, supposedly just to earn more money from a famous tv show.

Flat characters and not logical character decisions, even games from squid games slowly disappeared to be pure killing and betrayal.

With all that depth and idea that first season had, was touching, interesting, when you deeply cared about characters, somehow they did typical low budget show when you are tired already being disappointed of obvious bad, stupid character decisions that couldn't take place. Flat characters was biggest disappointment and made feeling of wasted time.

After hearing about all the hype and seeing it was one of the most watched series in the entire world I finally found time to watch Squid Game. I have to admit that I had fun watching it and was very entertained throughout the entire season. It's about hundreds of contestants (who are all down on their luck and need money) that are asked to play children's games for an shot at winning a lot of money, 45.6 billion won (about 33 million dollars). The only thing is these children games are now all deadly and the last contestant standing wins all the money. It will pull you into its world and before you know it you'll be hooked. It's a thriller with lots of twists and lots of violence. This is a show that will stay in your mind long after you watched it. I know it's already been renewed for another seasons so I hope they can keep the same magic they had for season one.

Just watched whole 9 episodes and my favorite was the 6th, Gganbu. Not perfect nor a masterpiece, but this is very well made and provides a certain level of emotional experience. The overall show was far beyond things that were shown in trailer. Very well directed, performed, and finding its own unique points from the genre mixture of various references such as Gambling Apocalypse : Kaiji, Battle Royale, and so on. Just hope all others enjoy this show not only in Korea but also everywhere!

Ps. Even to Korean ears, VIPs' English conversations were not well written nor performed. I think the drama could stand well enough without their presence and save the budget.
