20. It’s more than just a Battle Royale-like series

HEY Y’ALL if you’re looking for something to binge, Squid Game (on Netflix) was absolutely WILD. Even though the “Battle Royale/Hunger Games” concept is imo quite overdone, this show genuinely managed to surprise me, in addition to having great acting and set design. pic.twitter.com/IXHbxzHX6Y
