The finale of Squid Game: The Challenge was disappointingly anti-climactic, with a short and dull game of Rock, Paper, Scissors determining the winner. Editing made it difficult to invest in the contestants of Squid Game: The Challenge, as fan-favorites were eliminated early on and the focus shifted unpredictably. Squid Game: The Challenge lost the original series' message of capitalism gone awry, diluting the dark themes by turning it into a game show with less at stake.
Squid Game: The Challenge may be casting for another season, but the hit Netflix reality TV series doesn't merit a second season. Based on the Korean drama exposing the cruel underbelly of capitalism, the game show replicated many of the children's games from the original series without the gruesome murder. 456 contestants from around the world competed for a $4.56 million prize and were graciously allowed to leave with their lives when eliminated, a crucial diversion from the Korean drama.
