Bairnardo Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Squid game was quality. I thought the final game being the "squid game" was a wee touch anticlimactic. I thought the games could maybe have been a touch more imaginative in their cruelty [emoji23]The glass bridge was horrendously cruel though and the red light green light one was the highlight of them all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I've only watched half of the episodes so probably shouldn't be reading these comments but, considering the programme name and the start of the first episode, I always expected the last game to be the squid game.

Found this very good watch and there is now a series How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) on Netflix based on this story. That was good docu, good story. It was funny when he met the guy on train after travelling to give evidence against him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say "meh" is extremely generous, unless it markedly improved from episode 3 onwards. It actually annoyed me how shit the first two episodes were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossDee01 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Squid Game was unreal although a bit pissed off with the ending. Feel like they crammed too much in to one episode and probably could have made it into 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Binged the first 5 episodes of Squid games last night and hopefully finish the rest today/tomorrow but been great so far, really didn’t think I could get into it with it being Dubbed over as anything out of sync gets on my tits but after a while didn’t even notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishBhoy Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Thought the last couple of episodes of Squid Game were lacking a bit of imagination imo, although I still enjoyed it. Spoiler There was never any real feeling that any of the final 3 were going to die at any point, at the same time as the minor characters dropped one by one. It was sign posted during the glass bridge game, and you could have wrote the script on what was going to happen half way through it. There’s only so many times someone escaping death at the last second becomes surprising. It was still an enjoyable watch but I don’t know if I would be too bothered if there wasnt a second season tbh. I think some of the threads were left hanging intentionally for that reason though. The police man who was The Hosts brother wasn’t shown dying on screen, and we never got to know how The Host went from being a previous winner to where he is now. There was also no reason given as to how the guards were chosen and assigned their roles, and the VIP who was left unconscious was never mentioned after that scene. In fact it was a bit strange that the other VIPs didn’t bring that up in the final episode, I would have thought a rogue waiter that had infiltrated their remote island and attacked one of them would have had them more worried than they seemed to be.

scottsdad Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 In the minority here. Made it 15 minutes into Squid Game before turning it off. Thought it was shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 In the minority here. Made it 15 minutes into Squid Game before turning it off. Thought it was shite.Me too.

19QOS19 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 In the minority here. Made it 15 minutes into Squid Game before turning it off. Thought it was shite.15 minutes is absolutely no time at all to give an 8 hour long show. The first 15 minutes of some of my favourite films aren't even that interesting. Just finished it there and enjoyed it. It's not 'One of the best things I've watched in years' material but it was excellent nonetheless.**SPOILERS BELOW**The second episode was a bit of a drag for me. The whole point of it was to show how shite their lives were outside and why they decided to go back in but I think they could have done it a lot quicker. Given there was a half hour episode later on I think they should have allocated that slot to this episode. Strangely enough I had a feeling No 1 wasn't killed. I didn't think he was the head guy but I did think he was some kind of mole. I didn't have any problem with the ending tbh. I thought it rounded everything important off and left it hanging for a potential S2. For those who didn't like the ending - what didn't you like/what were you hoping for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the only thing that disappointed me as I said before..... The first game with the big robot and the fancy cameras etc... That was some future hell shit. I really wish the subsequent games were a bit more imaginatively horrifying than guys capping them with revolvers once a mistake was made. They had free reign here, and aside from the glass bridge, the games themselves were totally underwhelming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
