If you guys want the best "game where they kill you if you lose" type of story, read The Long Walk by Stephen King - back when he use to write under the alias Richard Banach. It's in the same book as The Running Man, another similar type of story, though not as good as The Long Walk IMO.

imagine being that excited about having random dick sucking ladyboys kiss you :disgust

imagine being such a stupid fucking hypocrite that you insult a stranger online while criticising them for insulting strangers online

just how fat have you gotten since taking that picture?

Good enough to kill time?

Best series I’ve seen in a long time

:1orglaugh if "fat" is your best insult, you are an infant.

have you even made a grand in this business?

keep trying, Mr. Magoo :1orglaugh

I have by now started to watch it and the dubbed version is horrible. This can be done a lot better. Watching it in Korean with subtitles instead.

Really????? Wow

IMO it's average at best.

What are some of your favorite shows?

Imagine thinking someone that probably makes 5x than you lives in his mom's basement and has no income

And it's Mago, not Magoo, idiot!

I enjoyed it but I watched one, maybe two, shows at a time. And I caught myself fiddling around with other things while it was on in the background as well.

Binge worthy shows... I'm glued until it's done and I do nothing but stare at the screen. For Netflix I would say: Ozark, Stranger Things, Narcos, Queens Gambit, Cobra Kai (perhaps nostalgia)

Admittedly there are TONS of Netflix shows that I have not seen.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think Netflix shows are generally crap: mainstream, trite, made for mass consumption. Nothing is ever subtle or deep. They're all the same, too.

Today will look 1st episode

SPOILERS

















I watched that bridge-crossing game episode yesterday. That entire scene was one of the tensing things I've seen in a while.

Personally I hate seeing all the guns and killings. I don't care what story you put around these elements in an attempt to make people care, create interesting characters (just to see them die), it's all gore porn to me so no thanks.

Yeah it is a lot of that. A bit too much.

Finished the last episode.

Suck a stupid fucking ending, ruined the show.

I guess I need to turn on my tv and check this out

It's fucking stupid. And extremely gory. It has some nice moments, especially during the games, which are very creative and can get extremely tense. But the show is the typical Netflix mass-consumption garbage. Last 2 episodes aren't even worth watching they're so stupid.

Really, movies from Park Chan-Wook, for example Oldboy - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/ - not worse than this Squid Game

Alice in Borderland did the same scenario but with better character development, more creativity, and a more immersive world.
South Korean cinema is top notch, regardless, but Squid Game seems "dumbed down" for an American audience. Which is fine, it seems to have hit that mark perfectly.

It's decent enough, but wanders into "Kingsman" territory with extended gore-porn scenes set to music too much for my tastes.

Can't wait for the 2nd series.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:error

You mean 2nd season? I don't think that it will be

I'm joining your minority :).
5% of their catalogue is excellent (Squid game can be added I think in these 5%) but the rest is mainly average fillers.

... and they're impressively good with PR on making these 5% highly successfull, respect :thumbsup

i wish this is available of netflix ...

also squidgame first part is like Japanese Film "as the GOD will"

This is the same as any TV channel, yes? I love Netflix for the international offerings. South Korean dramas and horror are extremely solid. Scandinavian crime dramas are excellent. British comedy is top notch. The animated shows are very decent, too. I didn't watch MOST shows on tv, why would I expect to watch most of Netflix's catalogue?

I don't like cruelty in movies and TV shows, but I watched this one and kinda liked it, mostly drama parts, despite the fact that I'm not a big fan of drama either...

They've been talking about making that into a movie for ages. It would actually work as a film these days. Much better than Hunger Games or crap like that.
