The premise of the Korean series is that hundreds of people take part in a brutal series of children’s games (such as ‘Red Light, Green Light’) where losers are eliminated and killed, but the last man or woman standing has a chance to win a life-changing amount of money. This is your warning for gentle spoilers to come. Squid Game, for those not familiar, has been the Netflix phenomenon of 2021.
