This has got to be one of the best shows i’ve ever seen. I wish there was more we could see right now and i love how different it is! We don’t see many things like this that’s for sure.

I thoroughly enjoyed Squid Games and am rewatching it as we speak! I think the concept has been done in other movies, but this take on it was very entertaining. The violence aspect is a bit overkill, but I suppose that is the shock factor. I knew the old man was a significant part of the story, simply because he featured in ways the others didn't. I'm looking forward to the second series.

According to me this movie actually described the critical life conditions of a million of people in world where they have to suffer everyday and have to gain their daily goal in order to live whether it’s di or die situation. They always have to choose fight rather than running away from that situation. Similarly, in the movie the characters were from different areas who all were in need of money for varied reasons which put their lives in danger. I really liked the concept of the movie the way it showed every single move and created suspense in every scene and aroused curiosity in my mind to know that who will survive the task an who will win afterall. It was fun watching watching the movie but I really wish that a new season must come for squid game as it was something different from others. So, hoping and waiting for something good soon….😇

I really can't wait for season 2. Squid game was my movie of the year, the year it was released.

I really liked the series. After I watched the first season, it was very fascinating. At first a heard about its hype and I thought it was just like these other series that are over rated but it was not. It was good for real.

Squid Game is a good series, but I like all the Korean romantic drama series more.

Almost everyone talks about the Squid game, but I honestly did not watch because I have no intentions to watch nor I was interested in knowing the story.

However, I would agree that it's a great piece as it had millions in revenue.

Squid Game has awesome moments, but I have to agree the romantic Kdramas are my personal preference. Shows like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and Hotel Del Luna are what I consider the best of Korean series. However, I am curious about Squid Game season 2. I hope it turns out great.

The series Squid Game is phenomenal, and I can't wait for the second season. The art style and gruesome backstory are something out of the ordinary. Overall, I recommend watching the show.

I hope the second season does not disappoint - it’s a series that could easily be one and done. No follow up, no need to try and improve it. Just leave it as close to perfect as it is.

I've literally watched the first season of Squid Game, and I can't wait for the next season. The movie's plot was totally out of the box. This is a great movie to complement drama or mystery-seeking audiences.

Brilliant series on the whole. I caught it pretty early as well. I felt scared at the turn of events. When the game was called off with the majority of votes. I heaved a sigh of relief. But then people were so upset with their life outside the squid game that they felt that their life isn't as precious as they felt it was in the game. A lot of them return to the game. It was sad to see rich people just sit and enjoy the game sitting while real people are getting killed. How merciless can they be? I was at the edge of the seat throughout the series.

I enjoyed Squid Game. It kind of reminded me of Escape Room with the same deadly games motif ー(☆∀☆)/”
