Review of Squid Game

Squid Game (2021– )
8/10
An Incomplete Masterclass
1 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
An emotional rollercoaster that is guaranteed to keep you at the edge of seat. The characters are great and despite not lasting long, form an everlasting impression on the audience, the show also touches on the subject of human nature and all that. My personal favorite character is Sangwoo, his development was just (chef's kiss).

There's also well planned foreshadowing leading upto the big plot twist at the end that may not be visible at first watch.

Although 9 episodes wasn't enough for this show, a lot of things were left unanswered like the In-Ho storyline, where does the organisation go from here, who they really are and what direction Gi-Hun's character will take from here. All of which are hinting for an exciting sequel.

Although I'm slightly worried that S2 might not live up to the hype since well, everybody Died and the show has to build an even stronger cast of characters from scratch. Will the showrunners be able to succeed? We'll see.

For now let's just make Netflix to fix their awful subtitles, it makes the dialogue look bad.
