I loved the original Squid Game drama TV series. It was poignant, it was dramatic, funny and harrowing.
This series in contrast is just bog standard reality TV cliche, and that's never been my thing. In truth, it was as low as I expected, but as a big fan of the original drama it did hook me into watching it, and I've learnt my lesson!
When you look back on the show, the games were really just a MacGuffin for the storylines. I couldn't get invested in the reality TV series, and I switched off when I heard the backstories & sob stories of the contestants.
Personally, I think this TV series was a waste of time, but it was an inevitable cash in. I'm looking forward to the next series of the drama, but will avoid the further series of the reality challenge show, just not my thing.
