Who says children’s games can’t be deadly?!

Netflix’s viral hit series, Squid Game, comes with a devious plot twist

A satirical take on a competition-obsessed capitalistic society, the show follows a group of desperately indebted individuals battling it out for a payday worth 45.6 billion KRW. The series turns innocent children’s games into a choice between life and death. Winners bag the big bucks while losers walk into the light. Squid Game takes you on a roller-coaster ride, right from its introductory scene of the masked men spelling out the rules of the game to its closing scene. Its deadly plot, savage humour and beautifully crafted cliffhangers make for a brilliant watch.

Written and directed by Hwang Dong-Hyuk, Squid Game soared to the #1 spot in the US only four days after its release, making it the first non-English web series to do so on Netflix. It’s gory, gruesome and all kinds of ghastly yet extremely addictive. Binge away!
