This episode felt like a throwback to HBO's "Tales From the Crypt" series. Which I believe John Landis did direct a few of those episodes.
My only real complaint is, I saw the twist coming before the halfway point of the episode. Too many obvious clues and coincidences.
But beyond that, it's a fun episode. Well acted, good pacing, it's more dark comedy than horror, which works beautifully here.
By the end of the episode, it kind of gives off a "Last House on the Left" vibe.
John Landis is truly a talented director. I'm still waiting for a sequel to the season 1 episode "Deer Woman".. the best episode of the 1st season in my opinion.

After initially watching the overly long drawn out dream sequences by Tony Soprano, which takes up 40 percent of the entire episode. It has very little to no re-watch value in my opinion.
Whenever I'm in the mood to re-watch the series, I skip over the entire dream sequence, which feels more like filler than anything else.
The scenes before and after the Tony's wildly self-indulgent dreams are well done and excellently performed by the cast. But unfortunately its not enough to save the episode from being highly overrated thanks in large part to the main focus of the episode being Tony's wacky dream (hence the title of the episode).
Just about every great TV/streaming series has its hits and misses, this episode was definitely a miss in my estimation. But to each their own....

The positive reviews of this drek are most likely from people who worked on the show, or from people who are so easily entertained, that they have zero standards and will watch almost anything.
And they love to label those who dislike what they watch as "haters"..... as if I have something personal against a reality competition game show.
I'm just someone who has standards, and my honest opinion is Squid Game: The Challenge is bottom of the barrel. It lacks depth, most (if not all) of the contestants are either uninteresting or just unlikeable.
The production reeks of a cheap cash grab attempt at capitalizing on the popularity of the Squid Game series.
It tries to be compelling but just ends up being cringe worthy.
If you value how you spend your free time, then I suggest you skip this lame show.
