Just finished Squid Game and I need to talk about it!

[Invasionofthegutsnatchers]

I absolutely loved Black Mirror, Hunger Games, Being John Malcovich and Ready Player One. So this series has hit the sweet spot!

I need to discuss stuff!

I finished it today too. Loved it, though acting was a bit strange sometimes.

Wonder how he's going to find them a second time!

I really enjoyed it. Episode 6 was particularly devastating.

You should check out Battle Royale and Alice in Borderland if you like that sort of thing.

Why is he going back?!

I got the impression from the ending that he wants to go back to find out why and get revenge, that's why he didn't get on the plane after the phone call.

Series 2 is in production I believe!

Actually, scrap that about season 2. They've left it wide open for a season 2 but the producer hasn't confirmed there will be one (but hasn't said there won't either!).

Me too! Nobody I know has seen it so I sent them off to check it out so I'd be able to talk about it. Suspect by the time they've watched it I'll have forgotten the details :(

Just watched first episode this eve. It’s my type of watch, but not sure DH will last the duration, he looked a bit traumatised after .

Sounds like it’s worth pursuing?

Watched the 1st one yesterday, weird but good. I think!!

Actually, scrap that about season 2. They've left it wide open for a season 2 but the producer hasn't confirmed there will be one (but hasn't said there won't either!)

There will definitely be a season 2. It's too popular for there not to be.

Yes!! Really hope there is a season two, even though I was shouting at the TV when he decided to go back rather than go to his daughter.
Saw an interesting fan theory that the old guy (can’t remember his name!) is actually the estranged Dad of the main character. So maybe his is destined to take over his fathers empire.

Oops - sorry if that’s a spoiler for anyone, just saw there are people on here who haven’t seen the whole thing!

Is this suitable for young teens? 13/14?

@sashagabadon, depends what they are usually exposed to. I’d classify it as an adult show.

It’s very violent and there are at least a couple of sex scenes (and they aren’t nice).

Saying that, I watched it together with my teens - unfortunately, I think they are quite desensitised to these things.

Thanks apple, might not suggest it then!

Just finished it myself. Wow. It was amazing. Bit bloody gruesome but very, very good.

There’s a discussion here @Invasionofthegutsnatchers has some interesting posts, I haven’t posted in a While on it as too much to respond to! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/4356837-SPOILER-DISCUSSION-Squid-Game-Netflix-Korean-Series
