Netflix coming out with a reality show based on Squid Game next month. My brother, former Merck employee, will be making his small screen debut. He’s #99


That's cool - does he have a speaking part (couldn't see the numbers easily and didn't notice a 99 speaking)?

do you know if it is filmed in USA? Cannot imagine the legal waivers involved.. then again, I have not seen it. Youtube king MR.BEAST did a squid game thing that was relatively tame and pretty good. Guess it can be done safely easily enough.

BTW.. read a rumor that the Korean Squid Game season 2 did a table read this past June. So it will likely be a year from then or more before we see it.

Netflix premiere last night. Did not have time to watch yet but heard it was pretty good, although the family is biased

Not sure what’s going on with my brother’s life, he had his Netflix premiere last night and his wife appeared on a Netflix promo for Matt Rife lol. Interesting retirement gigs for sure

Didn’t watch this show when it came out but family wanted to see it yesterday and so far it’s pretty good. Up to episode 6. Don’t normally binge like that but on holidays it can happen. I’ve had a guess on who the “controller” of the game is and what might end up happening with the cop but the show has exceeded my expectations.

Might even watch the reality series afterwards.

You said he was number 99- right...he had one big line in the 2nd episode...
Oh he got a verbal beating today. He was eliminated in the cookie challenge and had the easiest one, the triangle. NO excuse to go out on that especially for a chemical engineer!!

I hadn't seen him get eliminated there but had noticed I hadn't seen him in the following episodes. I think his line that made the show was the "If you can't stand the heat...
