Good. Watching what I could of the first episode, I thought "what sociopath wrote this, and what sociopath woud watch it?"

Yea but we need more of Cate Blanchett.

Who needs squid games when you have elementary schools?

The Squid Games would seem like a feel-good story compared with real life in America.

In retrospect, probably not the best idea to announce it as a documentary.

Yeah, the last thing Americans have to do is imagine life that is exactly like the one they have.

Fincher is a jerk for leaving us hanging with Mindhunter and I will stay mad about it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Yeah things are already revolutionary enough. The series would be overkill

Yeah... Don't really need to watch what we're already a cast of.

Too soon.

They better not screw with Outlast.

@lazytato.bsky.social yup 😭😂

They’ve got their own deadly game called ICE

We dont need a Western/American version of this. Time to end the Hunger Games too. This is why I REFUSE to watch Handmaids Tale because shit hits too close to home

Only the first season was good. But I'm sure Cate Blanchett would have been awesome, as usual.

All the horrific deaths and vicious politicking, none of the free food or hope for a better world.

maybe a little less dystopia, as a treat?

It lost my interest on the first couple of episodes. Not nearly as good as the Korean series.

Didn't even hear about this show at all but I'm glad This is what capitalism gives us. Something gets popular so they have to do their own cheap knock offs of it until its bled dry. Rinse and repeat It's REAL bad in gaming but also hilarious when corpo studios show up late to the trend and fail

👆🏼

In the US version, the money is the life savings of the participants and it's shared between the rich organisers. Punishment for failing in a game is having to continue to live on.

Too much reality is bad for the soul …

I didn't know about this. Damn! Now Hollywood might have to come up with something original. But probably not.

How do you make fiction worse than reality?

A real "I built the torment nexus" moment... especially with his "strong vs smart" challenge where the "smart" tasks were written by dumb people, so basically the stronger people were guaranteed to eventually win.

"Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'."

He might be the only person who looks like ai in real life That shot is ai generated for a video but the real life asshole doesn't look much different 🤣

He has the soulless eyes of a used car salesman who is also secretly the Zodiac Killer.

So the shitty open ending of the original show, with the hero dying just to abandon a freaking baby to his captors, was all for nothing? Nice. Very nice!

Wait, I thought they were calling them patriots games 🙄

too close to reality

Truth

Good! He can get back to Mindhunter!

True. What would be entertaining about watching more of it on tv?

...sooo THAT'S why all of this looked like a Dejavù. FML.😒

good, could he not come up with an original idea? shows how much a hack he's become!

It must've been a tough time.

No kidding.

Im like 80% sure this is political sabotage because the american government can't handle criticism

David Fincher was going to do a documentary?

I think the same is true of South Korea, and that is kind of the point of the show.

Good.

we have some shit to sort out ...

pretty much any show the US tries to recreate from foreign countries ends up being crap, due to lack of missing the humour becasue it can't be translated correctly too many other reasons

I don’t know why people liked it

Don’t want to give the orange felon any ideas I suppose.

Good

I'm actually picking up squid game today.

I doubt anyone can do it better than Korea anyway.

Smart move.

Good David Fincher’s can go back to doing great stuff

Probably not a good idea to give this admin new ideas like creating a hunger games/squid games/survivor/UFC match.

😅😅😅😅

Unfortunately they did.

Never watched it - don’t think I need to!

Underrated skeet.

Instead of the red overalls and masks the guards just put ice on their brown shirts

Netflix supports genocide.

It's disappointing the squid game, working with a perfectly functional straight forward metaphor, never really landed a solid punch.

True.

Lol but so on point

Thank goodness

It would probably have been worse than the original like most things Hollywood tries to americanize.

I’m thinking Hunger Games.

All we can do is copy European and Asian entertainment ideas. It’s what happens when you no longer value education and artistic freedom

lol, you're right, It would just be a documentary about the U.S

Too right.. Mindhunter needs to be a priority

The shit you gotta go through for a barely passable paycheck.

🙄 Yeah, the metaphor certainly isnt any clearer in American English.

Netflix is getting worse. They cancelled, The Burroughs.

They could just edit Flock camera footage & sell it as a series. Pretty you'd catch some horrific shit.

They cancelled Mindhunter too. Maybe it's time to stop working with Netflix, David.

In the yank version you have to take on even more debt to participate and sign an indefinite insurance subscription. And there's no prize as no one wins. And you can get randomly murdered, poisoned, and beaten half to death for no reason at any moment. Still you beat those commies, eh?

Becoming too close to reality….

Too close to reality…

Too close to home... 🫣😳🙄🤣

Was eating salad to be one of the tasks?

For the love of god, get back to the big screen where you belong, Dave! Your rivals are leaving you far behind!

Totes.

That’s the problem they are just going to start doing this on the White House lawn and record it live.

I like documentaries

America does not need a squid games spinoff, because america IS a squid game spinoff right now. The the only difference is, the contestants who are dying are not the ones who can win all the money.

Too close to home?

Probably couldn't find a Trans for the starring role.

Word.

Not to mention the ending of season 3…oof.💔

American Squid game, aka Medicare.

Loved the first season, had zero care to watch the rest. It was lightning in a bottle with a solid ending that wrapped it in a bow.

Yeah, its just a repeat of the same thing while under Heckler, with darker themes, phycological traits, behaviours and dark impact on society. They gave up as nobody wanted to take it on

Ha!, yes Murica is already a failed-state dystopian HORROR...

We can just watch the news instead.

Ha!
