        Just trendy. Alice in Borderland (Japanese) was a million times better with a similar story but somehow less hype.

          I get your point but nah, I think both of them are great. Yet I do like Alice in Borderlands more. Squid game is still a great show that is totally worth watching.

        Worth watching, but only watch in English if you think you can get over the dubious dub. After a few episodes it mostly stops bothering you, but it’s probably better to watch in Korean with subtitles if you’re sensitive to that.

        I started watching it because I wanted to see what the hype was about, but I was instantly impressed by just how good it was. The writing, acting, direction and themes are consistently strong, and while the ending was a little strange, it’s overall phenomenal.
