Squid Game is just a bunch of middle-aged adults that compete in childhood death games for millions of dollars, the plot is so predictable and the characters are cheesy, and it uses shock factors to cash in lowbrow basement dwellers and "quirky" GenZ TikTok people. I get the message of the show but it is a bit oversaturated, and it is extremely similiar to As the Gods Will and Hunger Games. It's also extremely overhyped and saturated.
