Squid Game (Netflix)

I hate middle schoolers more than I hate boomers.

I'd think it would be weird if you liked them.

good point.

Just watched the first episode. Although the dubbing wasn’t great, I was very entertained with the show. It’s also pretty messed up.

Just remember you are and always will be closer to a boomer than a middle schooler.

 

[Althetuna]

Finished it tonight. Weirdly addictive.

This show is all my middle schoolers can talk about this week. Even had one let everyone else know they'd have no problem killing everyone else in a game if the price is right.

For the record, great ******* show. Even with the dubs.

Watch that one closely

I'll have to check this out but feel like it's probably not a "right before bed" kinda show. Otherwise I'll be up thinking about it all night

For whatever it's worth, I read a review that said the dubbing was very well done and not clumsy as some shows are. I haven't watched it yet so I can't verify whether that's true.

I am not generally a fan of dubbing and go for the subs but I started watching a Danish show, The Rain, and didn't realize it was dubbed at first because it was so well done. Didn't finish the series because while Season 1 was okay it sadly went to total crap after that. Watched the French Lupin and opted for the dubbing because it was really well done. BTW, pretty overrated series IMHO.

Completely agree on Lupin. Honestly the first episode was awesome, then they went flashbacks and it lost me. I stopped watching it.

I'm a sub over dub guy though 100%. I can't do it.

I'm 2.5 episodes into this and honestly I agree I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

I think Netflix is the CW of steamers, I think their content is just okay and even if you enjoy it you know it's kind of crap. But they release so much stuff once in a while something just hits.

I watched the first three episodes last night. I will avoid this thread until I finish the season.

Oh it's even better now with the super fun tiktok challenges going on. Our bathrooms have been completely vandalized and now today we had a teacher get slapped. This is in Waukee.

Is this a new TikTok challenge or just teachers getting slapped?

 

[CYTUTT]

The show is South Korean, so they have a very different approach culturally. I enjoy it. The show is addictive, in that, you want to find out what’s going to happen next. It does make you think about what you would do if you were in those situations. I also like the twists - cop looking for his brother For example.

I just wish they would have developed the ending better.

Just heard yesterday it's the new challenge. Just had it happen again.

 

[wheels686]

I absolutely loved this series. I'm not usually a fan of dubbed voices. But I couldn't stop watching once I got started.

 

[MustardTiger]

Its like this:



but with murder. MXC was legit.

 

[ZRF]

Never understood why anyone would choose dubs over subs, unless you have vision/reading issues.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Red light. Green light.

 

[Peter]

Binged it. Could have been a few episodes shorter but I thoroughly enjoyed. The glass bridge was amazing.

I have neither, but when there are subtitles on screen, I find it difficult to take on the entirety of the visuals. It's very distracting.
