Dubbed? Uggh. I guess I will pass. Netflix apparently has a hit though .

Yes, English dub... I watch almost everything with subtitles anymore. I don't know if I'm old and can't hear or if the sound mix is just off enough to make the words blur into the background music.

Yeah this has been getting some buzz (online anyway) lately. I'll try to check it out soon.
Another foreign show (Japanese) that came out a few months ago on Netflix, Alice in Borderland, got some popularity when it was released too. Been meaning to check that out as well.

I liked it. At least it wasn't Clickbait with that horrendous ending. So I wasn't wowed by the ending but I don't regret watching it. There he goes screwing his daughter again. Count me in for season 2.

Yeah, just wrapped this up this morning. I started watching it Friday. The 4K DV / Atmos was fantastic. The only thing that sucked, due to how awful the dialogue and acting was, when the VIPs are introduced. Holy shit that was fucking atrocious. Good thing the rest of the show was great.

Yeah, English acting in Asian movies is always pretty rough for some reason. (Most likely that none of the directors are fluent speakers)

Just finished it. Enjoyed it a lot, and I like where they went with the finale, since the outcome of the game was pretty obvious from episode 1, not that that's a bad thing.
And yeah... The rarely spoken English is pretty bad, but that seems to be the case with a lot of primarily non-English shows/movies. You really just have to ignore it.
Good show overall. A 2nd season that picks up right where this season left off would be cool.
Interesting comments in this thread so far, too.

Looks like Hollywood has already shot the remake. That was quick! (Nice to see Josh Hartnett making a comeback)

Re: Squid Game (Netflix)
Please be VERY sensitive with your conversations! Some of you have let small things inadvertently slip already! This is why I hate full season threads.
Maybe indicate what episode you are discussing out of spoiler tags so that people can decide to read it or not, like DJariya did ...
Re: your spoiler on episode 2 ...
So far, I am finding the commentary on systemically crippling debt to be pretty spot on. Like gambling, debt begets more debt begets more debt ... the big payoff is always right around the corner. It totally makes sense (episode 2 spoiler)

I'm through 2 episodes.
It's hard to root for the main character. He's such a pathetic loser.
Episode 2:
I feel like a lot of this is a social commentary about the poor and rich along with mixing in sadistic violence like Battle Royale.
I don't think I can finish all 9 tonight, but I'll try to watch a few more.

Regarding the sub/dub ...
We watched the first episode with the dub and the English CC on. We shut the CC off pretty quickly because it wasn't matching up. Considering how horrible most dubs are, we didn't think it was too bad.
We did switch to the Korean language track with English CC for all other episodes though.

I finished this tonight and enjoyed it a great deal, kinda felt like they were going the Willy Wonka route for a minute there, but they went the Cyndi Lauper route instead.

The English subtitles were translated from Korean but the English (CC) are dubtitles, at least on my setup.
