Squid Game Is Netflix’s Biggest Show EVER

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Earlier Monday, Netflix released top-10 rankings of its original shows and movies, which are calculated after a title has been released for 28 days. Squid Game was released Sept. 17, giving it only about 11 days of viewership by the time Sarandos spoke. 

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Netflix has been releasing several cult-following flicks since 2020 since they introduced Bridgerton in 2020. Now, the streaming giants take things to Asia and bring us Squid Game.  Before I go any further, I must let you know It takes a lot for me to like a movie or series as I’m hard to please as there are certain things I look for and this series checked all the boxes and is high on my list. If you have not watched yet, I will not give too much away but share the premise and also share my final thought about the series.

The Premise

Squid Game is a South Korean survival drama streaming television series written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk. Squid Game focuses on a desperately indebted group of people in South Korea. They’re first tricked into a deadly tournament of children’s games. The show features an ensemble of characters who includes: Cho Sang-Woo, Joon-Ho, Seong Gi-Hun and  Kang Sae-Byeok (just to name a few)

 

My Review

I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of this series and how everything played out. The way I select my shows and series on Netflix is by reading the info and seeing if it’s a match for me based on my previous shows. Netflix will share the percentage amount which will allow you to know whether or not it’s a match. This show I believe is more than just a “bad show” as we say in Jamaica, which means It’s really good, but it has a lot of themes that we can look at which is typical with anything in Film. I can easily pull out “Man vs Nature”, “Women in Society” and of course “Human Nature”.

Before the series neared the end I could easily predict the outcome and have an idea of what Season 2 will be like. I like that it was easy to follow as with most foreign films, the voiceover doesn’t match the mouth and caption but in this series everything was synched. I also liked how the characters were developed early in this series that allows us to become invested to see their outcome which took us on an emotional journey with them which included happy to angry to hopeful to sad then “what the hell”?!

About Squid Game

Netflix released top-10 rankings Monday for its most popular original shows and movies by the number of hours that people watched them in total during the first month of their release, the first time it has disclosed that kind of data for its programming. (And in about two weeks, Netflix’s breakout hit Squid Game, a Korean dystopian horror series, may be the new leader in the ranks of its top TV once it hits its own one month mark.)

Conclusion

I gave this film an 8/10 as I think there is room for improvement which we will see in Season 2.  I know you were probably looking for more, but I didn’t want to give anything away with spoilers. 

The only thing I can say is “Red Light Green, Light “ will never be the same.
