I think the show is hot garbage. Better story than Squid? Excellent script and characters? In what universe? It had a few fun Games and cheesy brutality, but like 90 of the show is sentimental poorly delivered regurgitated monologues and no story.

You have a strong opinion. Here's mine: I liked it better than Squid Game in most ways. I also have enjoyed Kaiji (the anime) and Battle Royale as well as a few other death game shows. I think they all bring something to the table and Squid Game does have some very good moments.

After a long period I would suggest you try watching Alice in Borderland. I think you might get something out of a second viewing that you did not in the first. Personally I had to revisit some of the first season episodes to see how the characters are built.

Nah, I'll never watch it again. I was bored to tears most of the time, and if I hadn't been watching it in a group of friends, I'd have stopped watching after they introduced the Beach. Before that? Awesome. After that? Garbage on every level. Also, Arisu is the worst death-game protagonist ever.
