Squid Game is one of those shows you can never "unwatch". It's quite harrowing but strangely addictive and a great critique of modern capitalism. Strongly recommended if you have the stomach for it
It's like "free guy" (spoiler boring) tries to be a critique of video Game violence by positing the existence of another gaming reality where people are nice to each other. But this other reality is just a Macguffin. We come to watch the violence and mayhem and we come to watch squid game for the same reason.
It is better to own the fact that watching torture porn gives you the jollies rather than posturing that it gives you membership of some anti capalist intelligensia.
It's just Romans and Christians and Lions. The crowd loves it because people love blood.
Considering your comment seems to be targeted at pseudo-intellectualism the irony here is simply off the charts.
The comment you’re replying to says the show is harrowing and a critique. There’s no “because” or apologia.
I just saw the final episode last night, and I don't remember seeing many flashbacks other than at the start of E01.
I admit it is slower moving than I'd like, and some of the episodes had way to much filler and not enough plot arcs, but I seriously do not remember seeing flashbacks.
> capitalism
Too bad they don't want to watch award winning Kim and Beautiful in sustainable 320×200 format from the North :)
Do you have some exclusive access to a version of Squid Game that we all don't?
