Critic Reviews
Squid Game (2021) Review: Playground Games, Adult Debts
★★★★☆
Squid Game is Hwang Dong-hyuk's Korean survival thriller about debt and deadly children's games. Season 1 is superb; the two later seasons are grimmer and less focused.
Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia →Yes. The first season is gripping, stylish and angry, essential viewing for thriller fans with a strong stomach. Treat seasons 2 and 3 as a darker, weaker epilogue.
