Finished Squid Game last night.

Definitely watchable. Just not as good as I expected. First the bad. The plot is not as "intelligent" (or what some called mindfuck) as those in other stories of the same genre such as:

- Liar Game (manga, Japanese TV series, Korean TV series)
- The Lie Eater (manga, upcoming movie but I doubt it will be good as the manga has 49 tankobons which will require at least a TV series or anime to do it justice)
- One Outs (manga, anime)
- Kaiji (6 mangas involving the gambler Kaiji, anime, films, stage show, video game)
- 惊悚乐园 (novel)
- 我有一座冒险屋 (novel)
- 我的一天有48小时 (novel. Less similar as the "games" are long and could run into years)
- 恐怖广播 (novel) etc

It is comparable to Alice in Borderlands (manga, TV series). Most probably better than the movies Running Man, Hunger Games series and The Maze Runner series, etc (did not read the novels).

About the good. I think the emotions of the participants are the highlights because all of them are ordinary people unlike the ultra-intelligent protagonists in the "mindfuck" stories I mentioned earlier. So that makes the viewer empathised with them more. Some logic flaws but overall acceptable.
