Netflix Squid Game schools warning sent to parentsA council tells parents some schoolchildren are 'aggressively' replicating the TV thriller's games. It's rated 15; the primary school kids shouldn't be watching. Stop scaring parents that kids are playing, oh, literal school games... they go online and watch gaming videos shooting one another (which is also fine tbh) - good example of media whipping up nothing for clicks and potentially squeeze out more stories I thought kids have been playing red light green light, crafting and tug of war for decades?

142m households watched Squid Game, Netflix says as it adds 4.4m subscribersStreamer beats expectations in latest quarterly results as it hails ‘mind-boggling’ numbers for Korean drama I couldn´t finish even Episode 1. Awful! What I love most about this is that, after you find out who wins, and it’s all over it shows what they do afterwards… instead of making you guess like American shows… Watched it. Was okay - quite watchable. Probably about 3 episodes too long. Miles off being best drama ever!
