Squid Game is a brutal, profoundly disturbing, darkly funny, beautifully designed, superbly acted, intelligent, thrilling masterpiece, exploring themes of desperation, inequality, greed, morality, human nature, and survival. And also, it's really disturbing (did I mention that?).
It's easy to dismiss this show as shock porn, but there's depth, nuance, and heart to it, well worth exploring. Join us as we do just that.
