Featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: Sanjay Gupta/Denis Villeneueve (2021). After hearing about all the hype and seeing that it’s one of the most watched series in the entire world, I finally found time to watch Squid Game. I have to admit, I had a lot of fun watching it and I had a lot of fun throughout the season. It’s about hundreds of contestants (who are all down on their luck and in need of money) who are asked to play children’s games for a chance to win a lot of money, 45.6 billion won (about $33 million). The only thing is that these children’s games are now deadly and the last remaining contestant wins all the money. It will draw you into its world and before you know it, you’ll be hooked. It’s a thriller with lots of twists and turns and lots of violence. This is a series that will stay in your mind long after you’ve watched it. I know it’s already been renewed for more seasons, so I hope they can keep the same magic they had for the first season.
