Squid Game (Netflix)

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

trust me... Ouchie and Brother Not Ouchie were 7 and 5 years older than me so I saw everything at a very young age as well... not to mention my best friend's father would ALWAYS rent us THE most inappropriate movies for 8 year olds. ones that we didn't even ask for, like the night he brought us home an amazing double feature of Eddie Murphy's Delirious and The Exorcist. I can remember him taking us to see Sam Kinnison, with Pauly Shore opening at Celebrity Theater when we were probably... MAYBE 11 (Yup...1987 show at Celebrity). In the middle of one of the wildest bits I've EVER seen, I remember him looking around and saying "I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest and you guys are the youngest people here."

but I know Ouchie's boys... they ain't even close to being ready for this.

Corey won’t go outside at night to see all my werewolves powered on with the fog machines working.

I watched all the Evil Deads and I Spit On Your Grave around those ages.

My mom was completely lackadaisical about what I watched as a kid. We'd go to the video rental and she would tell me to go pick something out and I went over to the horror movie section and would find the goriest or scariest movie I could find.

So shows like Squid Room seem like kids shows to me....and I loved the first episode it was fantastic, I can't wait to watch the rest.

So no wonder why you are Crazyinthebrain, oops, I mean Krangthebrain.

As an only child, I was never limited to what I could watch either and vividly remember seeing The Warriors and Tom Horn in the theaters as well as many other R-rated 70's and early 80's films. Although I realized at an early age that it was all fantasy and that the actor you saw chopping people up in one film was playing a nice neighbor or a mean sheriff in their next role. I worried many years later about my uncle exposing my cousin to graphic films as a child because he didn't have a solid grasp on what was real and just Hollywood. It really depends on the individual, IMHO.

This show is excellent. My daughter and her college roommates told me to watch it. My daughter watches a ton of foreign content.

DEBATE QUESTION:

So my daughter says to watch it in Korean with American subtitles. My wife refuses to watch anything without the English dub so if she needs to do something at the same time she can still listen to it if distracted for a moment.

Opinions?

Honestly, just set the time aside to watch it without distractions and watch it in Korean with the English subtitles. It is so engrossing that time will fly by and you won't feel tempted to look away at all. It was so good.

We watch it in Korean without subtitles. I don't know what the hell is going on, so we make up the dialog in our minds and narrate ourselves. What an incredible show.

Get her into EA... Electronics Anonymous.

But seriously, I have the same problem/addiction she does. I heard so much hype about this that I turned my phone to watch episodes with subtitles.

That said, I might have heard too much hype. I think the show is good, but worthy of being the most watched show ever on Netflix? I think that oddly says more about how f’ed up humanity is in general than how f’ed up the show actually is.

Finished the series last night. So good.

Not sure how everyone else has been watching it, but we watched it in Korean with English subtitles.

I’m watching it in Korean with subs too.

 

[Luciano]

Two episodes in and will likely binge the rest this weekend. It definitely sucks you in. Some really cool visuals as well.

Something tells me this will inspire a lot of Halloween costumes this year.

I told my wife tonight I already have a red hoodie, I just need a mask with a square on it

 

[Covert Rain]

We finished this over the weekend. Honestly, one of the best foreign series I have ever seen.

 

[Covert Rain]

Holy Crap. Netflix just released some numbers. They value Squid Games at $891.1 million dollars which is more than 40 times the production cost of $21.4 million. It makes it one of the most profitable shows in streaming services history.

 

[Russ Smith]

I'm halfway through episode 2. I had heard it was graphic but man episode 1 all of a sudden it's like wait did that just happen.

Lucy won't watch it so it will take me awhile to get through it.

One more episode to go and I'll never look at Red Light/Green Light the same ever again.

 

[Luciano]

Lol I have the same Casio steel watch as the front man !!

 

[Russ Smith]

I'm on Ep 5 or 6 now. This is bizarre it's one of those I can't turn away things i know it's wrong on many levels but it's compelling anyways. I'm watching with dubbed English.

 

[Stout]

Great grimdark series. I was so pleased that I avoided spoilers everywhere until I finished yesterday.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

It is the only way to watch it.

 

[Stout]

Actually, I had heard only one spoiler, which was more of an appetizer:

The marble episode.[\spoiler]

 

[Chaplin]

What a fascinating series, with a pretty good twist at the end.

I only had one real problem with it, and it is a failing of most Asian productions: They are usually terrible at casting Westerners. Their Eastern cast is really great, but none of the Westerners they brought in (the VIPs) were any good. Their delivery was as bad as it gets and took me out of story every time one of them opened their mouth.

 

[Covert Rain]

Simply loved this show. I am just not so sure how they keep dragging this out to multiple seasons. Sure there are some threads to pull but I really can't see the show staying fresh and original outside of a couple seasons max.

The old guy won the golden globe for best Supporting this year. First Korean to win it.

I read that. Well deserved IMO. His character was awesome.
