If you haven’t heard about Squid Game yet then, chances are, you’re about to – thanks to friends, family, or people yelling at you on the internet to watch it. And we’re here to join the cacophony of voices. Trust us. It’s amazing.

Squid Game is a Korean drama that sees 456 people invited to take part in children’s games – such as Statues – with a deadly twist. Whoeve🐭r survives, amid betrayals and conspiracies, takes home tens of millions of dollars.

The mꦛay have shades of Battle Royale with game shows tacked on, but it’s🐼 so much more than that.

"Even though the Battle Royale/Hunger Games concept is quite overdone, this show genuinely managed to s๊urprise me, in addition to having great acting and set design," says .

That’s echoed : "If you love Battle Royale (2000) the🦄n you owe it to yourself to watch this Korean series. It takes the concept and runs with it in really int✨eresting ways. Incredibly gripping."

"It's very intense, very violent, and extremely compelling... This shit is WILD," , while it’s as "one of the best things" a💝vailable to watch ꦰon Netflix. That’s high praise indeed.

To say more would be to ruin a show that’s hooked the entire world. Go on, try o🥂ne episode – and let the gaဣmes begin.
