Squid Game is a trendy Netflix show that is actually worth the hype. I didn't find it as shocking as some said it was but the shock factor is definitely there. It's not quite Battle Royale but this is a excellent show for fans of that film and comic. It also reminded me a bit of Elite Hunting from Hostel. We get 9 episodes with 6 games, plenty of deaths but more importantly in those episodes we get to know the characters, we see their depth and morality as well as their animal instincts. Some grow, some break show their true colors. There are subplots and every thread is pulled, this isn't gore for gores sake it is a tightly told great story. The finale has a climax, it has a payoff, and it ends in such a *redacted for spoiler sakes*.
