MY GOD (lots of squid game mention)

This show was actually so, so, so entertaining. I watched this after finishing Squid Game season 2, so you could imagine me craving more. This show SCRATCHED that itch for squid games, but I wouldn't particularly say it's a squid game dupe, no, I say they have many similarities, but definitely show different meanings. The concept that the higher your level, the more you earn, defines a view on classes. A pyramid, if you will. And it shows how brutal money makes people. I mean shit, at the end of it, it was literal torture among others to get a life you wanted ( as long as you kept the higher ups entertained). It's way for gruesome than Squid Game, given the fact that no one dies and they are constantly being swapped between the lower class being tortured and the higher class being tortured until the highest just tortures them all. It goes more in-depth on how it's psychologically messing up these people more than how much they will do to win or to live normally after. It's so realistic, it's almost sickening to think that this is how people would most likely be if this were a real thing.

I definitely would say this is harder to rewatch than Squid Game's, since its such an acid trip to watch a game of cat and mouse between these characters.

SORRY FOT SHORT REVIEW, IM SLEEPYYYYY (also, this is so underrated, wtfff!!!)
