It has been a huge week for fans of Squid Game, the enormously popular dystopian Netflix series about a competition turned death match. On Monday, the show’s creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, announced that there would be a second season of the drama. “Join us once more for a whole new round,” he said, to which any sane person who watched it would reply: “No thank you, it was quite horrific enough last time.”
Then, two days later, Netflix announced that not only can we watch more Squid Game, we can take part in it, as it has greenlit a real-life version and is looking for participants. If you have watched the series and yet still willingly sign a contract I suspect you might not possess the strategic genius Netflix claims to require.
