Squid Game: The Challenge is getting rave reviews – and being called the "most gripping reality TV since The Traitors"

Squid Game: The Challenge.

Squid Game: The Challenge seems like it's set to live up to the brand name – the Netflix game show, based on the hit Korean drama, is earning rave reviews. 

Squid Game, which became Netflix's most-watched show ever, follows a group of people with financial struggles who are invited to take part in a mysterious survival competition with a hefty cash prize. They must compete in a series of traditional games, but with deadly twists, risking their lives for ₩45.6 billion (that's the equivalent of around $38 million).
