Hm, I expected to love it a lot more but it really feels like there’s not much pay off, and the twists were somewhat predictable too
There’s a few things that also just didn’t make much sense. The episode where they get less food - one of the red guys says it’s because they planned for it, but clearly it was because people took second servings
there’s a lot of stuff about how the guy wrote it in 2008 and couldn’t get any studio to take it. I honestly think the primary reason the series was taken is because Alice in Borderland had decent success too, and this is similar enough to draw that audience. It then got very lucky with social media

just on the last episode and i think it’s taken me 5/6 to actually get into it. it’s good - quite graphic and for the hype it’s had i didn’t really find it that… amazing?
Didnt he say they had planned enough meals for the amount of contestants? Which is ehy there wasnt enough because the others had stolen it?
I loved the crazy lady!! 
Yes and then one of the red guys explains to the doctor that the special game was planned/pushed by not giving the players enough food. Which is clearly not right
You could argue that it was just the manger/red guys guessing/being told so but they seem fairly aware of the plans for games, and the whole exchange doesn’t make much sense because, obviously, if someone had planned for it to happen that way there would be more people starving for that night
The rules of the game do seem to change a couple of times, but that was the one to take me out of the series the most tbh. Generally, I think some stuff was thrown in and then dropped - the players being equal for example. Clearly not true for a variety of reasons, but it’s such a random thing to drop in because I don’t think anyone in charge needs to ‘fool’ themselves into thinking that they’re doing something good
Ive heard that it’s apparently badly translated so I do wonder if that may be part of the issue but

I want to watch but I’m a wuss 
is it super gory? Or more like Hunger Games?
is it super gory? Or more like Hunger Games?Its pretty gory to be honest but mainly just blood.I want to watch but I’m a wuss
The tug of war and the glass bridge games were soooo intense. Great stuff.
Mainly blood but there are a few operating table style scenes too which are a bit grossI want to watch but I’m a wuss
but they were only given an egg and water bottle of water each anyway, nowhere near enough food even if everybody had some
Exactly this. They planned for an egg each which is not enough to survive on.
I read some of the explanations of how they didn't translate it properly but I dont see how it took away from the show tbh.
If you had the subtitles on it was clear that the dubbing and subtitles weren’t the same at times
Alice in Borderland was awful for that.
I’ve started watching this with my parents. We thought we’d have a break from murder/crime shows. Not exactly the less gory show we were looking for but it’s been good so far. I was just wandering if there are any scenes that might be uncomfortable to watch with my parents. My sister has watched the whole series (on my account because her’s is on a child’s setting 
) and said there’s a sex scene in episode 4. Although she said the same about episode 3 and we watched that yesterday and there wasn’t one.

Squid Game is the only TV program i have watched in a long time that has captivated me all the way through. i didnt feel bored or like skipping any parts or reading up spoilers! definitely recommend, enjoyed all the characters equally and found myself holding my breath during all of the games. amazing
Quite a long sex scene aswell
