Dam good show. Episode 6 was a sledgehammer to your emotions.
Cant wait until season 2.

Way more twisted
Maybe hunger games meets saw

Very similar, but at the risk of not giving away any spoiler alerts...
But I agree with Tico, and this is coming from someone normally lacking any interest in watching subtitled shows. It's lived up to our youngest son's hype thus far.

Maybe I'll give it a go. I was thinking a few weeks ago that I haven't anything good on TV in a long time
I actually saw this with the English voiceovers. Sounds like I was going arching those Kung fu movies on Channel 5 back in the day. Might watch it in Korean with the subtitles next time.
I thought it was good, it kept me engaged. Some slow moments as they set up the characters but for the most part 40 mins. felt like 15. Do it with the subtitles though. Like @tico brown said, I tried at 1st with English, not good, felt like I was watching a 70's dubbed Kung fu movie. Huge twist at the end will make you want to review moments in earlier episodes.
I think he was just happy someone finally picked it up. He's been trying for something like 8 yrs. before Netflix scooped it up.
We would've done the same but were advised not to (and now I can appreciate why).
I used to watch a lot of foreign films with subs so I am used to them. A key is that the bigger the screen the less subs seem like reading - they are "just there" like a tree in a landscape.
Watching a film with subs on a phone would be sketchy
All in all I'm disappointed in Netflix. Most of their stuff I watch for about 15 minutes and lose interest.
However this was extremely well done with some horrific, gut wrenching and tear jerking moments. I thought the actress who played the main female character was outstanding. Believe it or not she's 27 years old.
Agree with one of the posters that Episode 6 was incredible and one of the best single TV episodes I've seen in a long time.
I binge watched the entire series over a day and a half. I highly recommend it.
p.s. I watched it in Korean with English close captions. The show was so good that after the first episode the out of synch stuff was something that I didn't even notice.

that marbles game was f*ked up. Really sad with some of those outcomes.
Also 2 big twists near the end.
The subtitles were often different than the english dub... I think they might be better off NOT trying to make the spoken words sync to the lips in the dubbing... just get good voice actors... but reading the captions conveyed complex dialog much better than the dub.
overall.. well done. recommended if not squeamish.
SNL hasn’t been funny in 20 years.. but squid game was great.
I DLed 9 episodes with subs in 1080p - looks good at just a glance. I'm sure I'll get distracted and have to replay stuff. I do faulty-tasking instead of multi-tasking lol
The marbles episode was great television. It's the best single episode of a series since The Sopranos
That was like the series Fouda from Israel.
It was so bad that I lost interest in a good show.
The thing with that episode was the different ways each pair got to the end
Point
It would have been interesting if they could have included the married couple that entered as a team for the marble game,
the emotional conflict would have been interesting tv but I guess they had enough story lines already, and the married couple characters were not developed at all
I actually had no issue with watching it with the english voice overs. I think trying to read the subtitles would have been too distracting for me as so much of this show you really needed to watch.
But either way you do it, it was very well written and put together. I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did. Binged it over 2 days.
And that SNL skit may have been one of the better ones in decades

So you think Biden should play the role of that senile old guy that pisses his pants?
I guess it fits...
Maybe we can wipe out our trillions of dollars of debt from it, if he wins.
Speaking of which, there is a hit song called "Let's Go Brandon," where they have a lyric:So you think Biden should play the role of that senile old guy that pisses his pants?

"That’s what they get for treatin’ us like we in Squid Game"
What exactly is this lyric supposed to mean?
Don't have the time to dig into the Squid game. Are they controlled and/or masked? I hate when I don't get lyrical references.
That "song" is trending everywhere..it's hard to avoid not hearing any of it or reading about the lyrics.
Yes, this. The Long Walk was a great short novel and a similar concept. Exactly what I thought of first when watching the show.
Subtitles is the only way to go. Can't imagine not hearing the actual actors' voices playing the roles. Can't stand voiceovers and won't watch them any more.
