I mean, I didn’t end up knowing any of these games-in Season 2 I’d like to see the Candy Land challenge, please-but I thought the idea of using children’s games was brilliant. JM: Honestly, I think that was the hook that got me watching in the first place. What did you take away from the creative choice to put the players through challenges based on children’s games? What is the point of ‘Squid Game’? Two of America’s writers consider the Netflix juggernaut. In mere minutes, over 200 players are brutally shot and killed before our eyes, as blood splatters on the walls of the game space. But what makes the first game so shocking is the juxtaposition of a children’s game (Red Light, Green Light) with so much gore. Keara Hanlon: The show certainly doesn’t shy away from violence, and it sets its dark and grotesque tone early on when the protagonist, Gi-hun, is forced to sign away his rights using a bloody fingerprint rather than a penned signature. Tarantino has made a very healthy living off that.īut there was nothing Tarantino-esque about that first game. I get it, unexpected bursts of violence nets eyeballs.
I have to say, after the first episode I wasn't quite sure why the show was so popular-or even whether Netflix wasn’t juicing the numbers in some way. Jim McDermott, S.J.: Okay, so I think we're both done with “Squid Game” now, which for some reason I can’t stop wanting to call “Squid Tales.” It’s like “Duck Tales,” but darker!
