Kevin Can F*** Himself (Prime)
Just binge watched the first season (I think..it seemed to stop in a weird place). But wow, that was weird.
I do like how they've managed to make me think Kevin is a master manipulator but then switch back to thinking Allison is the master manipulator, then back again several times. Very clever.
Plus I have decided that Annie Murphy is quite hot

Squid Game
South Korean show on Netflix about a down on his luck dip shit that gets roped into a survival game. Bit slow to start but loving it so far.
If I may be so bold as to quote myself...
Finished this last night at it's really great. A better description might be in order. A large group of financially screwed people take part in a battle royale style game to win a fuck ton of cash. It being Korean it gets pretty messy and messed up. The games get more and more cruel as the players are whittled down. Visually it's very striking and unique looking. There will be an inevitable US remake no doubt.

I've been watching Korean TV a fair bit lately. Overall, I'm fairly impressed, they seem to marry outlandish plots with some really good acting which raises things far above what the plot line would seem to indicate.They also have a knack of throwing in humour (that works) at unexpected moments.

I just spent an hour watching people play marbles and now I feel like I've been kicked in the guts. ALL the feels

True, it was really dark at that point.

One of the best episodes of any series I've seen, and I mean that.

The next episode "VIPS" has some of the worst acting I've seen in a tv show in a long time. I don't know how that happened in such a well made show.

Lol, yeah, just seen that one. A lot of the IMDB comments, from people who love the show otherwise, say that was the low point for them. It's... not good. Bafflingly so.

Midnight Mass
That was really great! Another well done Flanagan joint. Recommend it.

Second time I've had that recommended to me, going to put it on the shortlist...

So I finished Squid Game this evening. It's good overall, but I knew from early on that the translation supposedly isn't great (there was a headline on Reddit I think a few days back) which I think coloured my impression somewhat. It's all really well acted and shot, but the ending left me a bit cold. Massive spoilers follow:
Do we think there's another series coming?

I would say definitely, given the ending. I'm expecting it to be Gi Hun trying to take it down from within somehow, but not sure it will be as compelling.
