Based on the Critical Drinker’s recommendation I watched Squid Game. It’s the only time he and I have disagreed on a movie or TV show. Episode six was the single exception. The rest of it was not impressive to me.
Yes, I know he admitted it was flawed, but in my opinion it was HEAVILY flawed.
I confess I liked the message of the last episode except for the final moments. That is a message most of us learn as we gain wisdom, but it is a good one to learn as soon as possible within your lifespan.
I was lucky to watch the Squid Game early enough that I didn’t know any of the spoilers. If you already know some of the spoilers, it ruins it.
The Drinker is pretty reliable. I give him about an 80% rating as a critic.
I love Critical Drinker. Excellent channel.
One thing why Squid Game became popular is that the word of mouth passed quicker than liberal critics told you what to think about it.
