Squid Game #1 "I'm good at everything except things I can't do."
 

Surprised there isn't a thread for this. Need somewhere to talk about the rollercoaster of this show!!

Thanks for making this!

Hello guys :wave: I love this show :love:

Same :D

I can't believe there wasn't already a thread for it. Most watched show on Netflix to date! I can start a fans list too :)

The whole season floored me. I was shocked when I watched ep 1 and thought there was no way I could stomach the entire season :lmao: But my other half convinced me to go through it, and I was absolutely gripped.

I know right even tho I know that there are one on TV board..

It really was and I watch this show for a day and half.. But damn, that was so crazy..

Which game that you think you can win or not??

I've watched the first 4 episodes already, it's quite shocking ubt also really good.

Is there? I couldn't find it, it seemed more suited to this board as its Netflix specific.

Probably the honeycomb as I have a steady hand. That doll was too freaky. Near us there have a model of the doll and people can take photos with it. Saw a lot of squid game outfits for halloween too!!

Arrakis - hope you enjoy the rest of the season!

W/ the honeycomb, I would be like would yall mind not to look at me.. :lol:

Yeah, I notice that most people wear the costumes of this show for the Halloween..

The doll was the easiest one :lol:

I'd be too scared :lol:

The bridge one, I be like oh boy.. I know I'm gone just like that..

It really was.. I mean, I be like I can do that..

Thanks for that, I knew a season 2 would be on the cards :)

Thanks for that.. Glad to hear that..

Awesome news :D

It really was..

TBH the ending would be lame if it was a one season show, too much unexplained. Even when watching the last episode I said to my boyfriend it's clear they are looking to have a second season.

I hope it's as fun as the first! There needs to be games and contestants imo and not just Gi-Hun trying to infiltrate, even if the games are in flashback to the time the Front Man was in them and won.

I also wouldn't mind seeing some of the S1 character's backstories explored a bit more but I am not counting on it, as I am not sure how it would fit narratively.

Yeah, with how it ended, another season was needed.

There does have to be more contestants and games, if not, what is there to infiltrate?

Yeah since I felt like second season can be last one..

I agree it's not a show that can have 7 seasons without them overly milking it. and I would rather 2 good seasons than more where the quality goes down.

While the character development is very important, the games are the most iconic parts of the show, so I hope they are given the same prominence as in the first season. The horror the characters go through when they realise the challenge is always good. I don't want them to only be shown partially while the focus is behind the scenes.

I think now we know all the games, it has the risk of being repetitive and it won't have the shock value now. However the finale left me with many questions - like what about his daughter? He didn't go see her first when he won! Backstories of the other characters is also good. I wonder if they do it like Lost and show the backstories of different smaller characters too.

I thought the games might change each year though, the VIP's seemed surprised by the bridge and one of them talks about how South Korea has the best games each year.

Gi-Hun's actions after winning were a bit confusing. I get he is severely traumatised, but with the money he could have paid someone else to help Sae-Byeok's brother and it is still a very long time to not contact his daughter.

Yeah, kinda does seem like the games change each year, unless the VIPs do.

I could be wrong but the VIP's seemed kind of familiar with eachother and the host Il Nam, at least their masked identities. There are probably other VIPs since they imply other countries have games too but I'd still expect the games to change each year. I think the VIP's mentioned having seen Korea's games last year.

I found this from VIP 2 pretty funny :D imagine finding out your character in the script is actually dumb enough to surprised the real bridge is much bigger than the model version.
