Having racked up more than 111 million views (according to Netflix), without doubt the most phenomenally successful show to hit the world stage from Korea, perhaps ever, is Squid Game; the wunderkind of the days Zeitgeist, ten years in the making. Take a dash of “Battle Royale”, a splash of “Willy Wonka” and a bit of ’90s Australian Family TV favourite “It’s a Knockout!” (or “Takeshi’s Castle” for our international audience) and you’re starting to get close to where Squid Game sits. It’s not really like any of these things but they get you in the mindset.
Jill (Player 420), Peta (Player 069) and Quinny (Player 000) head to an island off the coast of South Korea to find out exactly what the Squid Game is and whether or not it’s just some old calamari.
A huge shout-out to the remaining players of our own Squid Game who chime in like their lives depend on it during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT.

(So far we have the pig.)
