The South Korean export has worldwide appeal.
I have written about multiple pieces of sports media, including Luca, Boogie, Space Jam 2, and Southpaw. Each medium is unique. But the latest entry might be the most striking piece yet. I’m talking about Squid Game, the Korean Netflix show.
The game revolves around cash-strapped competitors who compete in a series of events inspired by popular children’s games, such as Red Light, Green Light, and Tug of War, to win a large sum of money. However, events can turn deadly for the competitors if they lose.
This show has suspense, drama, and a unique take on sports. A Netflix offering now, it will soon become a sporting event in Dubai. That version won’t be deadly, and the winners will get a green tracksuit instead of money.
I believe Squid Game is definitely worth watching. It’s a personal favorite.
