Squid Game

Writen by MovieGuys on December 29, 2024

Whilst not an entirely original idea, "Squid Game" is done with enough inspiration, to warrant at least, a look. That said, it took me quite some time to tune in. The idea didn't immediately appeal to me, as it did a lot of other viewers. I found the first season, creative, colourful and more than little disturbing. Of course, children's games combined with murder, was never going to be comfortable mix. I do believe season one is markedly better than the second go around. Season two offers more of the same, with less of the intrigue inherent in the first season. The introduction of blatant DEI content in season two, is something I could have well and truly done without, too. In summary, I believe "Squid Game" is a one season hit. Having watched all of season one and most of season two, I see little to distinguish two from its predecessor.Give season one a go by all means but my personal belief is season two, adds little of value. I rate season one 7/10 and two 6/10.
