Squid Game is the best TV show made in the last 3 decades. How did the South Koreans do it?

They absolutely nailed the vibe of the 2020s.

333 was always an anti-hero. He was the ultimate sleeper cell villain.

Only S1 was good. The rest is poorly written slop cashing in on it. No way the same ppl who wrote the legendary gganbu episode wrote the rest.

You mad? Season 2 and 2 were pefect. They captured the vibe of the current era perfectly. Best TV show in decades easily.

Squid Game worked out their audience. The 2020s is an era of human backlash but simultaneously an era of total capitalism. It's a struggle for the human soul right now and Squid Game captured that perfectly.

Kaiji ripoff. Sopranos and Shield are easily the best shows of the last 3 decades, Squirt Game isn't even among the top 100.

Imagine betraying her because you are scared of two crackheads.
Then watching while she gets murdered by one of them.

>S1 boosted from pandemic and new premise
>S2/3 gets the usual Netflix treatment where they're tricked to make an extra season for less budget and have to replace the leads with a woman and add activists and trans into a positive light
There is only Squid Games season 1. Main character was character assinated to be replaced by a woman, retreading his steps and forced 456 to be the hiding damsel to be saved at the end carrying the macguffen while other characters do his arc for him instead.

Netflix does this to every TV series.

Yeah Min-su deserved what was coming to him even if it was anti-climactic. Literally befriended and backed by the one hot chick in the group and he somehow fumbled shit when it mattered.

Sopranos, Wire and Squid Game are same tier. Mad Men is second place.
Shield third place.

I think the best part was that it was all Korean. This purified the atmosphere as we could focus on the human elements and not introduce all of the other toxic sociopolitical nonsense we have rife in western media.

There was no trace of the cynical or self aware style of western writing either. It was a genuine story that used classical methods to play on emotional themes and the plot. That kind of goes for a lot of Korean/Japanese media and one reason why a lot of people are fleeing to it right now.

LOL, no, it's fucking not. Season 1 was okay, but seasons 2 and 3 are shit. It's the most overhyped TV show ever

Now that I think about it, has there ever even been an actually good TV show without the need for a bunch of qualifiers or selective amnesia?
