More About Squid Game
There is little doubt there has been a steady rise in popularity for Korean thrillers and horror. Squid Game is one of several originals to come to Netflix and the first to break into the top 10 most-watched television shows on Netflix globally. With a 100% fresh critical reception on Rotten Tomatoes, it is easily one of the biggest breakout hits so far this fall. Fitting into the popularity of survival dramas, and tapping into the extremes of very real financial hardship in today’s capitalist societies, it is a timely allegory for the present day–if a terrifying one.
