There's a scene where the protagonist is playing russian roulette with one of the bad guys and when he's down to the last two chambers (they don't spin the gun) the bad guys says "Yeah you could just shoot me, but then you'd just be like all the rest, a piece of trash. You just got lucky." and then to prove a point Mr. Squid Game doesn't just shoot the other guy, but instead takes the 1:2 chance and makes it. Then he passes the gun to the other guy.

When the villain had that monologue I was so ready for the protagonist to go "yeah I did just get lucky, what are you even going on about? I know I'm not special." and then shoot him or something.

How many netflix failsons were allowed to give notes on this?

Ugh I have mixed feelings. He does deserve to be compensated, so I'm glad he was at least able to get some cash out of Netflix for a second season.

I completely and utterly agree with your mini-series sentiment. I don't even begin to watch shows that aren't already finished.

Do you think Squid Games S1 can be watched as a stand-alone or does it lean too heavily into continuing?

First season is totally fine standalone, that’s what it was intended to be in the first place

Thanks! That's perfect to know that was the intent. I'll definitely torrent it then.

I think it's 100% fine on its own. There's a little "hey wink wink nudge nudge, maybe you could give us another season" at the end, but not every story ends with every loose end neatly tied up anyways.

Cool, I'll torrent it in that case!

First season was meant to be standalone, you can watch it just fine.
