The squid games, I watched this show right when it came out and then I watched Season 3 all in one day when it came out but I am just now writing this review since I am rewatching it during my healing process from surgery.
The contestants have to play 6 games and are numbered and end up having to fighting each other and competing in rounds and childhood games to win money and those that loose or loss ends up eliminated and gets killed and the money from the deaths end up getting put in a jar. At the beginning they did not know this was going to happen. They thought they were just playing a game and either winning or loosing. Because of this a lot of people pretty much eliminated and sabotages others later on in the game.
Season One: They are recruiting people to the games and end up recruiting 456 people. There is a sales man that goes around playing a game with the contestants and he knows everything about them including their debts and family and then from there they receive a business card and when they call him a guard will pick them up in a van and put them to sleep so they do not know where they go. It also introduces characters that are not even in the games and explains who they are and what they do.
After each game or so many games they get to vote whether they want to keep playing or stop playing an honestly sometimes they vote to keep going and sometimes they vote to stop. If they vote to stop like in season one they end up being sent back to where they come from in their underwear tied up on the street. Then the Salesman goes through and giving out more cards to people and giving the other contestants cards to come back to the games and a lot of people end up taking them after what they seen. Eventually 456 recognizes people that he knows person in the games and he ends up having to go against them.
There is this old man that pulls at your heart strings but there are some plot twists in this game and can end up being a real tear jerker in which you find out a lot of information in season two.
We end up finding out that the guards were also players and that this is happening because a bunch of rich people are watching them play this game as if they were in a TV or a game show while having a fancy dinner and party until the end.
Season Two: 456 returns to the games all while trying to figure out what is happening and why it is happening and who is controlling it but in the long run he can't really figure it out. He also is trying to save people and stop them from dying during the game but there is no use because everyone is going to end up dying anyways. He also is being tracked and watched. There are a lot of things in season two that walks you through but you have to watch from beginning to end to understand it. **Spoiler**It also tells who exactly the old man is and what he has to do with the games. **Spoiler**
Season three: A new set of players get added except for 456. He goes back into the game and tries to save everyone and put an end to the games but it does not happen the way he wants it to. He ends up having to play the games and watch more people suffer and die including a mother and a son duo. They both signed up to give each other a better life. There is also a pregnant girl in this one and it is really a tear jerker. Lets just say the baby survives despite everything that happened in the games and to the mother. It also shows how the games come to an end and who actually is running the games.
I love how they worked together until the end of season three. The way he came back trying to save everyone and stop the games but in the end it did not help.
Spoiler **They pretty much are using the dead for organ harvesting and in season three you will see more of it.**
