There is another season? Think they should just leave it as is.
Television Squid Game (Netflix)
- Thread starter SuperiorXI

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
As for why he didn’t kill the main character — surely
1. It wasn’t that easy? He wasn’t handicapped or anything, although you can obviously crawl in behind of him and stab him
2. He still had been emotionally attached to him as you can see in the final — even the Ali thing was tough for him and he only knew him for a few days. Killing your childhood friend in cold blood because it theoretically improves your chances (when you don’t even know if you need to eliminate him for the last game for sure) isn’t the same as killing him during the immediate life or death situation (like the last game). Every time he killed someone it was in the game where he was faced with an immediate threat of losing his own life. By killing the girl, who was dying anyway (which made it easier for him to justify it), he didn’t broke as many boundaries as he would’ve done if he would’ve killed the main character

The last scene was a clear indication that they want to make it — and, given the reviews, I doubt that Netflix won’t back them up. Although I’m with you here. Even this season felt a bit dragged out after its emotional/quality peak in episode 6.
I added this to my list seeing the mentions it has gotten in this thread. Will watch that next!
Episode 6 is a really difficult watch.
Thought it was very good till episode 6 (great episode that) but sorta nosedived after that for me.
What was the significance of the red hair? Did I miss something obvious?
It's to show that you were wrong and should have been rooting for him to die all along.
It's a dumbed down version of Liar Game.
Two episodes done. Good so far.
I liked Sisyphus: The Myth a lot better, though, in terms of acting and style, if anyone needs another recommendation.

Just finished this. It's one of those shows you have to keep watching because you want to know what's going to happen next.
I predicted the end. I hate it when I'm right.
I don't get the fuss with this at all? It's gash.
Acting is comical, dubbing is comical, it's not a story that hasn't been done before. It's pretty shit. Just some turd has overhyped it and everyone else has followed the band wagon.
"I'm so kewl I watched a Korean show, their TV is way better than ours".

that was a good series, better than this for sure
There's a quick fix for that...
Learning Korean isn't quick, the acting would still be comical anyway.
Have you ever heard of subtitles? Dubbing a movie almost always hurts the overall product.
If it makes you seem cool to go against the grain and watch a Korean show, it must make you super cool to go against the grain of going against the grain and pointing out all those bandwagon hoppers thinking they’re cool watching a Korean show.
Most people don’t think TV is cool or uncool, it’s enjoyable or not enjoyable. Not enjoying something other people enjoy doesn’t really say anything about you, or them.
I was going to try subtitles, but it's not interesting enough to bother for me. Like I said, it's been done before anyway, don't feel i would be missing anything. Just haven't decided who is running it yet.
old man? Said he had tumour or something in first ep. Either doing it for fun, or to teach everyone the value of life. If he isn't the one in control, then it's somebody else in there but haven't seen enough to decide who, they'll all develop a little over time so it'll give you a few options.
I am the coolest.. thanks for noticing. I see you tried to outcool me with this post but it won't work.
Surely you lose all credibility to criticise a show if you watch it dubbed, christ almighty.
I'm on episode 7, enjoying it rather than loving it so far. It's fun.

The strangest thing was that 99% of its dubbed and then the VIP's turn up and speak english. That confused me more that the whole series. They should have had Korean VIP's at least.
Also did anyone squint and try and read his mobile phone messages, post it notes or the documents like you could read Korean fluently like myself?

Who the hell watched it dubbed
Way better with the subtitles.
Anyway, just finished it. Thought it was really enjoyable. Great show.

Just finished the season. Really enjoyable.
I can’t get past dubbing. Think it’s always awful. Plus I feel like episode 6 is nowhere near as dramatic if it’s got ‘fun’ dubbing over the top.
I enjoyed it tbh. I agree though that the peak was Episode 6.
The red hair … don’t understand.
And there are so many ways they could go with the next season. Which I presume they’ll make.

They’ve clearly set it up for a second season with the detective likely still being alive. Feel like it would never be as good though. They’d be better off leaving it there but it’s never the way is it.
Second season will most likely be the protaganist and the cop trying to stop the game. The antagonists will be the frontman and the guy playing with the red and blue envelopes. They're going to have to infiltrate the games cause that's the main fun of the series so it's going to have to be pretty creative to grab our interest without the two strongest emotional characters/actors imo the best friend and the north korean girl. If they fill it with more Ali like characters, it's going to turn lame fast.
I think they should leave it as it is and not make a S2. If they do then new games have to be in it. I'd leave the current protagonist alone for a series and maybe go to China or Japan to show that the games are spread across a number of countries in the far east.
Theres still a number of unanswered questions from S1 that need answering if there is a S2 or S3.

How did In-ho get the job? Did his brother survive the fall and the shot to the shoulder? Who are the righ americans behind the masks? Etc
I can't believe people watch stuff dubbed over subtitled. You're all fecked in the head.
I watched it dubbed in english with english subtitles as well.
I hope you get killed in a game of hopscotch.
Just watched the first three episodes stoned, liking so far.
Finished it a couple of nights ago. Enjoyed it and now have to wait impatiently for season 2.
I feel like I’m immune to it now after money heist
Don't get the hype. Watched it, enjoyed it but there are loads of similar type shows. Not sure why this one stands out above the others.
I'm trying to decide what the worst game was. The glass one is horrible, 50/50 chance of death with pricks behind you hurrying you up.
