Here's everything parents need to know about Netflix's No. 1 show.

Knight said that because our brains are not fully developed until age 25, allowing graphic violence, such as that shown in the Netflix series, can feel overwhelming.

"They're taking childhood games that they're playing on the school yard, like red light/green light and tug of war, so children are actively playing these games with their friends," Knight said."Now they're being exposed to it in a way where killing is involved and it's life-threatening.""Many children won't verbalize that, because they still want to watch it," Knight said.

Who ever is running your social media account is a 🦆in bimbo

NO!!!

Meh, it’s TV.

Who is running your Twitter account? Shame on you for asking this question.

A big fat NO! If there is a second season I won't watch it.

Not at all.

NO 👎

With nearly 39,000 people dying each year by guns it makes sense that we would want by entertained by it. But really you shouldn't let your kids watch it, that is just a horrible idea. SquidGames

Not appropriate

Oh hell no

Oh. Hell. No.

No

I don’t have children so I should be staying out of this… . . . . No.

Nooooo.

NO!

Hahahaha

It’s sad that we even have to ask if this appropriate for children. We are failing our children.

No

Nope

lol...more appropriate than what Matt Lauer was doing in his dressing room.

I had to teach my 5th grade class how to really play Red Light, Green Light because they were playing a version they called “Squid Games” at recess. They were falling down “dead.” With everything else over the past couple of years, can we just not?

Have them watch it first, and then find out after by asking them their opinion.

The fact that you question this for kids is alarming. The answer is NO.

Who am I to tell you how to raise your kids. let alone tell you what they should and shouldn't watch.

No. It is rated MA 15+.

[Shrugs] any book is a kid’s book if the kid can read

I only made it through 5 minutes. I am 67.

Not young children.

Not appropriate for anyone to watch. But I'm watching it. I liked where she hides her cigarettes.

No, but they’re watching it. Having a 3rd grader come home from school telling me which games are Squid Games is the reality of what really happens.

no

It's about adults playing children's games, so of course!

How is this even a question ?

Nope.

Where has journalism gone?

No

It's too violent for kids to watch

There are a lot of shows on tv that they shouldn’t watch.

If you think kids should find entertainment in the pain and death of others then yes.

absolutely not appropriate

Why not? Many kids watch massacres occurring in their own families daily. Use it as an opportunity to educate, discuss and watch in doses.

My kids watched it and liked it a lot.

Ummmm, NO

Definitely would NOT let my kids watch it!

I like it but it may be too violent for kids.

No! It’s super violent. I have kindergarten students talking about it. The third grade students are fighting at recess, everyone wants to be the doll.

Absolutely not

Lol no. Definitely not.

No! Of course not

It sucks

No.

Haha. You think kids haven’t seen worse

NO

💯% NO

NO NO NO!!!!! Not really appropriate for adults either.

This is an 80s PMRC question…

Late teens on up.

No

Nooooo

Even if young kids shouldn't watch it, they can play along on ROBLOX!

No! I’m not sure if it’s appropriate for me! Honestly it has a great view of what greed does to you and the fact that you’re trying to stay alive at all cost. 😰 bloodandgore

No have too much Violance

Yes

That's a tough and touchy one...Everyone has their own way of thinking.💞💙💞

It literally says 15+ on it
