Action-drama Squid Game asks just how far a group of people will go to survive challenges reminiscent of The Hunger Games, with deadly consequences for failure. One of Squid Game’s greatest strengths is its plotting. The show’s premise is brought to life through spectacular sets, striking costumes and a terrific score
Netflix Korea may very well find its widest global audience to date with its latest original series. Through nine episodes chock full of vivid thrills and dramatic bloodletting, the sensational and surprising survival action-drama Squid Game shows just how far a group of people will go to dig themselves out of a hole.
Hit filmmaker Hwang Dong-hyuk (Silenced, Miss Granny) crafts a show that aggressively breaks away from K-drama conventions, even more so than previous Netflix hits Kingdom and Sweet Home.
The premise is wickedly simple: 456 down-on-their-luck people saddled with large debts are given an opportunity to take part in a game. They do so of their own free will, with no idea that what they have signed up for is a series of playground games with deadly twists.
