btw, anyone else thought the cop subplot was pointless?

like he discovers his brother is the frontman, gets shot and that's it.

unless there's more to it on the next season...

For the audience at least, it revealed who the front man was, and without the cop his identity would have meant nothing to us. Now we're more curious how he ended up switching from winner to joining them. There's also a chance his phone will still come into play somehow.

I'm also holding out hope the cop somehow survived that fall and has been in hiding for a year...

I feel dumb for falling for that. But another interesting thing that really outs him is the first game.
The giant robot scanning everyone during Red Light, Green Light scans everyone but him. You can see they all have a green outline except for him.



Ah, I missed that. Good catch. There was just something off about him the entire time. I wrote it off though because I watched the dub and just assumed it was how his English voice actor portrayed him, so I assumed I was overthinking. Should have gone with my gut.

It was pretty surreal to see a bunch of 6th graders watching this show on their phones after school. Not complaining or anything, but I was a tiny bit surprised given how much violence and gore is in the show
I mean, that's probably not a very healthy show for them to be watching at that age, especially without adult supervision...

Finished it. Definitely a fun ride even if it starts off kinda slow. But I liked the foil it had with Alice in Borderland where they voted to go back to their lives only to realize what the old man said was true, that real life was torture if you're that much in debt and you're just waiting to die. So they voluntarily go back to the game

The older lady annoyed me pretty much 90% of the time. But good on her for suplexing the gangster. Fucking badass way to go out.

Well, with all these controls, I supposed one of them could like... Electrocute the rails or something. Notice that they were asked to remove their shoes.

we just finished it last night after starting it Tuesday night so its pretty fresh but I could be wrong, pretty sure they said you had to land both feet on one platform or something like that. essentially saying you cant try and land on both (and by extension I assume the rails too).

Might be wrong but I recall the announcer saying something to that effect.

I dont think he did. They kept telling him he had to do stuff. And telling him he should know things. It got to the point where they figured out he wasnt suppose to be there Haha

Just finished it. Great fucking show.

The ending has me giddy, but no S2 confirmed yet. After they park a Brinks truck in front of the creators house maybe?

i just read that the writer says there are no plans for S2 but why would you end it like that?

Alice in Borderlands is a lot more fantastical/anime-ish. It's pretty much an Isekai even though they're technically in Japan still.

Squid Game is more grounded and kind of has a pretty good moral/lessons.

Can't wait for AiB S2...whenever that comes out lol

I just finished watching the season yesterday.
I had a strange feeling about the old man after he supposedly pissed himself. And then how he "was killed" after the marble game just sealed it that something was up.

Great show. Hope they do a 2nd season and would love to see what games they would use next.

Also for the one asking if the show is appropriate for children, there's a lot of GTA level gun violence but also more gorey stuff. Notably in the later part of the season, an older lady is shown with her head busted open and her brain spilling out after falling from a large height. That shit made me squeamish lol

imagine being so rich that you're so bored out of your damn mind you decide to gather a bunch of people who are severely in debt and make them compete against each other in a series of deadly games for a huge prize money.

i dont think even Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk would reach this level of boredom. lol >_>
