Squid Game is South Korean survival drama television series streaming on Netflix that follows hundreds of players who have accepted an invitation to compete in children’s games for a monetary reward. However, the players soon discover that losing in these games means a grisly death.
The show has an age restriction of 16, but a quick browse through some local and international parenting sites reveals that many children under that age are watching the series, with some parents admitting their 8-year-olds have watched it.
