Day 836, Quasi-Quarantine: Bringing The Nihilistic Horror Of "Squid Game" To Real Real Life


Last September, "Squid Game" took the world by storm. A "dystopian K-drama," this South Korean series become a global phenomenon, with even SNL going in hard on it.

Not only has a season two been greenlit, but now Netflix is further capitalizing by delving into the reality TV genre. Enter "Squid Game: The Challenge," a competition featuring 456 players trying to win $4.56 million. There's a legit casting call happening right now.

Hopefully, the actual stakes involved in this reality show aren't as high as in the series itself. But considering the state of the world, I'm just not ruling anything out.
