“By the end of Squid Game’s first episode you have already witnessed 255 murders: that’s more than take place in three months in the United Kingdom. And the show, a South Korean mega-hit for Netflix, still has eight more episodes. Human life is astonishingly cheap in Squid Game, where contestants in a surreal competition are gunned down as the penalty for snapping a honeycomb treat or losing at a game of marbles. As the body-count rises, so does the cash prize awaiting whoever survives, each wad of won accompanied by a cheerful video game plonk. Perhaps you started watching in naive curiosity, but by the time you’ve finished that first episode, you have been warned: stick with the show, and you’ll be knowingly choosing to watch hours of vivid and gory mass murder. Is that a choice to be ashamed of?”
–From “Too cheap or too precious,” by Regina Rini, Times Literary Supplement, Oct. 22, 2021.
