Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Parade Magazine
Samuel R. Murrian
Hwang has created one of the most immersive television worlds since Game of Thrones, with relentless entertainment value and remarkably fleshed-out, sympathetically flawed characters. It's a provocative morality play.
Newsday
Verne Gay
"Squid Game'' is a well-produced thriller with a couple of decent twists and a whole lot of violence.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
It really is an excellent distillation of how predatory capitalism works.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Kathryn VanArendonk
It's not the kind of apocalypse story that longs for hopeful human resilience; it's most eloquent on the topics of financial despondence and weaponized nostalgia.
The Nation
E. Tammy Kim
Netflix's breakout series depicts a world of violent and macabre individualism and desperation.
BuzzFeed News
Elamin Abdelmahmoud
Squid Game is effective at pulling you in. By the middle of the first episode, viewers are plunged into a world that's as repulsive as it is gripping, complete with masked villains and hapless antiheroes ...
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
Like Joker, there's a having-it-both-ways insistence that a culture that could create violence is inherently sick and deranged, while playing out a wildly overstated version of sick derangement in a manner designed to be maximally tense and amusing.
Slate
Rebecca Onion
The ins and outs of the games are thrilling.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
For the most part, writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk's mix of high and low elements like that works incredibly well.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
What writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk has done principally involves serving old wine in a new bottle. Seen that way, "Squid Game" presents a visually arresting variation on themes seen plenty of times before, which include tapping into the class divide.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
"Squid Game" is fairly thoughtful, and the fact that there is no sexual component to the violence is something in its favor.
The Muse/Jezebel
Megan Reynolds
Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the South Korean import is a diabolical, original parable about money and debt.
The Atlantic
Morgan Ome
Debt to a cruel system is inescapable and dehumanizing, the show constantly reminds us. But beneath the hyper-violence, it also suggests that our obligations to other people can be a source of meaning, compassion, and --just maybe -- salvation.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
A twisty, fast-paced, action-packed show whose episodes end in killer cliffhangers-in other words, the ultimate binge bait.
Kristen Maldonado
Kristen Maldonado
A masterful show that truly changed the game in storytelling.
The Movie Minute
Joanna Langfield
This very bingeable Korean horror drama may not be a feel good watch, but it sure does feel good to see how internationally popular it has become.
In Review Online
Mitchell Chapman
"Squid Game" is deservedly one of the hottest shows of the year, and it highlights the good streaming can do in regards to breaking down cultural barriers and exposing viewers to masterworks from across the world they would otherwise not have access to.
Spokesman-Review (Washington)
Dan Webster
All of it works as an exercise not just in survival of the fittest, but also as a stirring study of the whims of fortune, imbued with all that social commentary.
L.A. Weekly
Erin Maxwell
In the end, the devastation left by the game is tangible, leaving the winner in anguish and despair, while those at home are begging for more.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
There is a visceral, primal, can't-look-away feeling to the nine-episode series, which traffics in gore but also deep psychological horror and disturbances.
