Now I watched this show back when it first came out, but it was too emotionally daunting for me to review it at the time. The constant deaths because of higher powers showed a real juxtaposition of capitalism and the working force. The "do this and you can get this" mentality while doing the activity of 'this' can or will get you killed. It was gut-wrenching when one of the characters thought it was best to kill himself rather than go back home as a poor person in the finale of one of the games. The show was truly upsetting and what was worse was that children were watching it. I am not an adult, and nor do I claim to be, but that had to be one of the most jarring film experiences I have endured in all of my teenage years. Please do not let your children watch this, and with that said, let's get on to the review.

Other than the fact of the show being mentally debilitating, it was an excellent film work. The show is about many people in Korea with outstanding debts being picked to play a game to win a large pot of money even if they die during the process. Win the game, and you move into the next round, which allows you to continue and win. But failure to succeed in a game will result in automatic death. The weirdest part of the game is that it is a set of multiple games, where they are based on childhood games. The characters do not know what game the creators of the squid game pick before entering the game arena. Honestly, I would love to respond more in-depth to the Squid Game, but I don't think people should consume this gory television.

The film is impressive but should be a limited series and not return for a season two because season one was already too much. TheStackRuns Weekly Binge and Review rates this a 10/10 as a show but 0/10 for viewers' mental health.
