Squid Game is not as much torture porn as virtue signaling porn, a way for the writers and viewers to imagine their moral superiority over the characters, because most of the characters suck. It’s also doom porn, that life is hell because people are selfish animals. Also, the worst baddies are White American men, the only White people in the whole movie. One of the few sympathetic characters is a Paki named Ali Abdul. A Korean Christian is shown to be a hypocritical jackass, and an off-screen Christian pastor is said to be an abusive monster. Anti-Christian, Anti-White par for the course for Netfux.
The story was too predictable. Well ahead of time, I called the major twists about the cop’s brother and about the old guy.
spoilers, though I don’t recommend
