wife and I finished squid game I thought the show was dogshit. good couple of first eps, but the plot is poo poo and the games are unfair + luck so not really fun either. the ending is one of the worst I've seen as well. My wife and I predicted literally every twist. the sin of the games basically just being luck kills the entire shows concept for me. they were always extremely unclear about the rules, what was allowed/not allowed. pretty shocked how popular this is but I'm sure it'll fade away soon. if you enjoyed this kind of concept and would like to see it done better (imo) a prime example is the anime: Kaiji sole survivor. Another good one is the j-drama Liar Game. There's many other examples, since death game was a pretty popular manga genre for a while. I feel bad for the writers who made much more sensical games and compelling dramas than this but this one popped off. lol at the one guy in the tviv thread who says "capitalism is the real death game" like yeah dude thats true, babby's first marxist analysis. it doesnt make this dogshit show actually enjoyable My observation: it's interesting that everyone watching the shows imagines themselves as the contestants, when they are much more like rich bettors/ villains

just loving watch Kaiji its capitalist death game stuff but actually good. they make rock paper scissors into a game with deadly stakes and eventually he ends up as a debt slave in an underground city being built for the rich. it rules

also recommend Kaiji ultimate survivor, it has some really brutal capitalist realism mixed with degenerate gambling

matt smith is good in mapplethorpe and some other things i saw him in and can't remember what they were. too bad he got sucked into this garbage. he's probably getting paid though so that's cool.

Judakel posted:Post your wife's review "6.5/10. there's good parts and bad parts. the good is everyones acting is good and gets people emotional. they're pretty good at being emotionally manipulative towards the audience (she meant this as a compliment). bad is the plot lacks detail and has many holes. right now the plot only makes sense if you don't think too hard. the main guy doesn't really grow and doesn't make any difficult decisions or contribute to the plot. he just goes with the flow. Other than the second game he doesnt contribute or do anything meaningful things in the games. the ending is horrible especially him choosing the game over his daughter. didn't make sense for his character. overall I enjoyed it while watching and it kept my attention and made me want to keep watching" - her, lol
