Hundreds of people with considerable debt agree to participate in a secret competition, where competitors play childhood games, but those who lose will lose their lives.
'Squid Game' was a big hit for Netflix in 2021. It's a tough series, where the realities and social hardships of South Korea are a big factor in the intrigue and the reason behind why so many characters would accept such a risk. The film does not forgive anything, leaving room for friendships, low characters who do not take into care about the lives of others, the beginner's luck, and especially the survival of the fittest. The definition of "fittest" goes through several transitions during the 10 episodes and some surprises do appear, but the series does not cross the threshold to masterpiece, however its entertainment is satisfactory.
