Squid Game: 12/30/2024 ~ 12/31/2024
The whole concept of this show is something that is unique, but it also deals with many heavy topics. We see many characters who are struggling financially and are heavy debt which leads them to join the games. We also shockingly see that these aren’t regular games but instead kids games where if you lose you die. Through the show we see many things happens such as friendships being formed, as well as alliances. We even see how some people try to cheat but this game has a weird way of fairness even though it is twisted in itself. As can be expected we see many people die, many of who we grow to love this being through loosing a game, betrayal, or even sacrifice. We also see how these conditions slowly break about the people and change them into someone they can’t recognize. In the end we have a tragic ending as we learn only one can survive and this makes everything seem pointless to MC especially when he leaves. We also learn that someone we thought was his friend inside the games wasn’t but instead the mastermind behind everything. This leads to the season to end with the MC wanting to get revenge. He however is not the only character we follow as we also follow a police officer who is looking for his brother. He learns about the games through the MC and decides to sneak in and see if his brother died in these games. Through him we see another side of the games that the players don’t. We find out that these games are done to entertain the rich who become bored of regular entertainment. Also we learn the truth about what happened to his brother and the police officer also experiences his own betrayal.
