Squid Game a South Korean survival drama series currently streaming on Netflix.

“Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children’s games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits – with deadly high stakes.”

All I can say is: Wow!

Must-see edge of your seat stuff, even for those averse to violence, blood and gore. Terrific character writing too.

Watch out in particular for the tug-of-war rope sequence in Episode 4.

Me and the other half loved watching this.

It could be improved a lot but overall it was an entertaining watch.

Thank you for reminding me! I started watching last week, but then had to quit and go take care of something. I remember thinking it was a GREAT example of, what could possibly go wrong next, kind of thing.

So, I commented here 20 minutes ago, then I brows the internet for news and such and then this shows up in my feed https://www.kstarlive.com/news.....smgXJaGG1kHZ2ibi4r2Q

This is how the internet creeps me out. I respond to a thread about said show and then almost instantly I'm shown articles related to it in other areas of the internet.   >

This will be remade.  non-zero chance it won't happen.

Ha! So funny, just saw the teaser for this yesterday and had my doubts. It's now on the list and will start today!

Quoted from Grandma Bear I remember thinking it was a GREAT example of, what could possibly go wrong next, kind of thing.

Don't sleep on Into the Night then. When the sun starts to wipe out all life on Earth, a group of people on a plane struggle to constantly outrun daybreak.  It is French.

Cannot speak to Season Two (yet), but Season One is a masterclass in ratcheting up the tension.

Excellent work, this one.

No doubt. I just hope the English language version does this justice.

Speaking of: The U.S. version of The Guilty starts October 1.

It has two things going for it out of the gate: Jake Gyllenhaal & Nic Pizzolatto (True Detective)

Actually it has a Director up to the task too, and a great supporting voice cast.

I must revisit this. For some reason I switched off at one point. I hope they don't remake this one.
