No. 1 on Netflix at the moment. Anyone watched it. Is it worth a look?

Starting tonight on it. Those that have watched it really like it. Very good reviews too. Best to watch the sub titled version though. It’s Korean and they produce some great stuff...The Wailing is a brilliant film.

Re: Squid Game

I've seen quite a bit of Korean and Chinese TV over the last few years. Some of it is pretty good, but a lot of it is the same kind of enjoyable trash that we get here

It's worth watching. Quite compelling. It's not the best thing I've ever seen. I watched in English. The voice acting is not great.

Is it akin the Japanese game show 'Endurance'?

We watched it all, got to say the last episode was the poorest, in my opinion. Looked as if they were heading towards Series 2.

Yes, agree with that. I thought it peaked at around episode 5/6 and then tailed off a bit.

I thought it was great, very inventive, the tug of war game was brilliantly filmed, the tension was fantastic. The last episode could have been stronger but it was okay

Re: Squid Game

Korean-speakers say the subtitles do not represent the actual dialogue, changes much of the meaning.
And the dubbing is worse.

Closed captioned subtitles are different to the official English subtitles. If you watched it with the CC subtitles (which I believe are subtitles for the English dub) then yes you've probably missed out on a couple of things character wise. The official English subtitles are a direct translation from the Korean script so there's nothing lost there.

Re: Squid Game

It's good and worth watching. Ending was weak IMO but that doesn't distract from making it a good TV show though.

On another note I've been a big follower of The Walking Dead since it's start however this last series on now is a total load of b ollocks and it can't end soon enough. I've invested too much time in it though to give up now
