“It’s only been out for nine days, and it’s a very good chance it’s going to be our biggest show ever,” said Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos of the word-of-mouth hit. A razor-sharp indictment of inequality and economic exploitation in contemporary Korea (and beyond), Squid Game’s deeper resonances-conveyed by the powerful performances of its stars-will stay with you long after the contests reach their grisly conclusion.Īs of last week, the show has rocketed to number one on the Netflix charts in more than 90 territories. Soon things take a turn for the darker, beginning with the most gruesome game of Red Light, Green Light you’ve ever seen.
SQUID GAME LIGHTS OUT SERIES
In the show, a motley crew of South Koreans-all mired in debt-are lured to a remote island where they’re to play a series of games from which the winner will emerge a multimillionaire. Created by the acclaimed South Korean director Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game is a bracingly violent thriller series that has drawn comparisons to The Hunger Games and Battle Royale for its eye-popping gore and nail-biting tension-even if the real reason it has become a runaway success is its timely message. The Crown or Bridgerton, however, it is not. If you’ve been on social media over the past few weeks, you’ll have noticed that Netflix has another inescapable hit on its hands with their new show Squid Game.
