Other than The Sopranos or The Office, who talks about pretty much any show three years later? I'm exaggerating a little, but I think the glut of new content makes it hard for most new stuff to stand out in the first place, let alone to make a big enough impact that people will be talking about it years later. Even if it just ends up being a flash in the pan, having a massive hit with international appeal isn't too shabby.

King of the hill and the wire?

Can’t wait for a dozen new death game shows and movies to premiere next year

It's a genre that leads to some amazingly convoluted garbage. It's going to be great

They didn't really matter to the show anyway. The Squid Game at the end is just a fight to the death :lol:

456 crossed the middle so he could use both feet and was in a position to win legitimately according to the rules :colbert:

The old and rich illuminati justified the games by saying all participants had a choice to be there and that it was all fair - the contestants chose to gamble with their lives in order to get the prize. But they never inform the participants that it's a death match before they start and in the very first game 200ish people die because they're shocked and suprised by this fact when people start getting shot to death. That was pretty weak tbh

The first one is weak, but nearly everyone came back to play the later games.

About the dormitory: aren't all the games painted on the walls? They were when the last three are eating their meal. Were they there from the start?

Money doesn't make you a better person. Gi-hun's selfishness made him ignore his daughter before he had millions and right when he was going to see her to try and fix things he got distracted again

I like the idea that someone had where gi hum is trying to do the shogo kawada and trying to bring the game down from the inside so he recruits people before it starts, but then is immediately killed in the first game and they have to figure it out on their own

The weird thing about squid game and other shows that are released all at once is they seem to go super flash in the pan. Same with stuff like cobra kai.

I kind of like how netflix releases stuff like snowpiercer one at a time, though that might have to do with the tv contract

Squid game dragging on for multiple seasons for netflix to make extra money would be extremely on point
