Ever been in a bad position in life, where you didn't see any exit? Now imagine that one person approaching you, offering you the solution to all your of problems if you just play that simple kids game with them. Would you accept?
Well, in the series of Squid Game hundreds of people did, but it took a brutal turn.

Carrying a lot of responsibility, the actors and actresses of Squid Game do a hella convincing job. Every little emotion gets recreated at such a detailed level, that makes it easy for the viewer to take part in the fictional world. Furthermore the frustrated, desperate, crazy actions of the different characters, especially in the critical, dangerous and stressful situations, seem truly realistic, which makes the overall experience more frightening.
In addition to that, definitely a few of the plots caught me off guard!! I don't want to spoiler anything here so I keep myself quiet, but I bet YOU can't foresee a lot there, since integrating unexpected spins in the story is that well executed in this series.
The music adds a lot of contrast and support here and there, improving the atmosphere a lot!
Well, at last but definitely not least I L O V E D the character and relationship development. The interactions and background stories were astonishing. When I started watching the series I didn't expect those ups and downs, turns and twists. Moreover seeing the characters grow with their challenges creates kind of a bond between viewer and the individuals, thus the spctator gets more involved in the story.

All in all: recommended , but definitely a heavy one. Not quite for sensitive people.
