Episode three of Squid Game is “The Man with the Umbrella”. Join Player 456’s hosts Jack and Colin as they deep dive into the third episode of Netflix’s most popular show of all time. They offer their insight, thoughts and appreciation, and also cover your questions, queries and theories. This episode is the shortest of the series and our episodes mirror this this week...

Seong Ji-hun chose the umbrella because his mother chastised him for losing one when he was young… Jack and Colin discuss if this was the best pick and if other players (with their unfair advantages) are starting to really show their true colours during the honeycomb Squid Game.

The cinematography is again highlighted - the editing is tight and creates some proper suspense alongside the use of music giving the yin and yang theme an extra kick in parts of this episode. Are there really proper rules during the Squid Game - or is it the case that if a player can find a loophole (like using a lighter)m then they are free to exploit it?

An original production from Glasgower
