In the past month, the Netflix South Korean limited series Squid Game has become the most watched show in the streaming platform’s history, reaching unprecedented levels of viewership. Telling the story of a dystopian present, where ordinary people with a need for money are coerced into playing kids games in the hope of a huge prize, but with a problematic future for those that lose those games, Squid Game has become a phenomenon, and has raised discussions around the globe not only of ‘how good is Squid Game?!’, but also of how different versions of the games shown could be used if the series was re-tweaked. On today’s episode, I’ll be discussing – is the show really as good as many people think? – as well as raising a few different games that could be used in a retelling of the story. That’s today’s discussion on Thoughts from the Metal Cavern.
