Squid Game: The show everyone and their mother has been talking about for the past 2 months nonstop. At first, I heard rumblings about it over social media, but had no clue what it actually was. Just from pure curiosity out of the endless twitter memes that had spawned from it, I took it to myself to find out about Squid Game and give it a watch myself. After going through it all and finishing the show, I can say with certainty that it was a pretty damn enjoyable experience. With its whole Hunger Games/Battle Royale inspired plot, it was easy for me to get interested in the show quickly, as those are both some of my favorite pieces of all time. Player 456, also known as Seong Gi-hung, is the main character, is chosen to participate in a series of games with other people that have had considerably poor lives like him, being a divorced father and suffering from a gambling addiction. They go through a series of games such as Red Light Green Light, successfully cutting out the mold of a cookie, stepping across glass panels that lead you to a plummeting death if they break, etc. The catch is, only one player can win the cash prize at the end. This prompt alone made me curious about the show, but thanks to its memorable and engaging characters, funny moments, and bizarre creepiness, the show has instantly become one of my personal favorites for this decade.
