Do you think Squid Game reflects the harsh realities of our capitalist society?

Netflix’s Squid Game took the world by storm not just for its thrilling plot, but for its raw and dark commentary on capitalism, debt, and class inequality. Set in South Korea, it portrays desperate people playing deadly children’s games for a massive cash prize. The show taps into a deep global frustration — a sense of being trapped in a system where the rich get richer and the poor risk everything just to survive.
 
From the visually stunning sets to the emotional depth of characters like Gi-hun and Ali, Squid Game hits hard on both entertainment and empathy. Many viewers felt the show wasn’t just fiction but a metaphor for how society can exploit the vulnerable. But some argue it’s just a dystopian exaggeration meant to shock, not reflect real life. What do you think — is Squid Game holding up a mirror to society, or is it just a twisted thriller meant to keep us hooked?
