Parent reviews for Squid Game

I personally really liked it as a 19-year old, but i definitely don’t think it’s for kids. I know for a fact that if i was still 13, i would’ve watched it at school with friends and i would’ve been fine i think but i don’t see a point of kids seeing this much graphic violence. Some parents and kids reviews saying it’s 10-12+ make me kinda sad, i would not let a kid that young watch it, even if they are ’mature’ this kind of violence and dehumanization still affects your brain in a way or another, especially in kids whose brains are developing in a very important way at that age. 16-18+ in my opinion.

First off I’m gonna start by saying this review is gonna have a tiny little spoiler so I’m gonna put a warning so you can’t skip over that part. Representations: This show has great representations of different cultures it’s a k-drama but it has other representations like Indian culture too, one of the characters is an Indian man that shows great representations of his culture by the food he eats and his and his wife’s home. Violence and Scariness: The show has a lot of blood and gore to it which I find made it even better but I wouldn’t recommend watching it if your sensitive to that kind of stuff, most blood is from hun shots of players being eliminated and most gore is from players being cut open, there’s also one scene in the 4th episode where there is flashing lights (this is the spoiler) when the lights go out and everyone starts fighting the light do start flashing so just be aware of that if you or your child is sensitive to flashing lights. And finally there is two scenes of suicide one in the 3rd episode (shot himself in the head) and one in the 7th episode (hung himself with bedsheets) Langue: there’s brief but not a whole lot of swearing just thing limited to sh!t, b!tch, [email protected], @sshole and bullsh!t. Sex and nudity: a couple are shown making out in the bathroom very limited nudity is shown. Drinking, smoking and drugs: Players are shown drinking once or twice but players are shown smoking very often. Hope this review helped :)

The show is good. I watched it with my 16 year old son when he told me about it. But it is pretty gory when a player messes up and gets shot, which it doesn't make sense why they get shot when they mess up, but its korean

I hated this show so much. I wasted hours watching this. I haven't seen the ending and I know I won't like it. kys.

While this is a well thought out show, I still find it hard to believe that children watch it. This was a bit hard for me to watch even, I had to look away in some scenes because of too much gore. If your kid is fine with gore, I would say that you should let them watch this. However there is a sex scene, not detailed but I would suggest skipping past it if your watching it with your child. I would also like to add that in the show people get beaten to death, stabbed, etc etc... I really think that you should fully think it through before letting your Child watch this.

I think its ok for ages 9+ as long as the parents skip the sex scenes

This show is very entertaining and an effective commentary on debt culture and how it can render feelings of hopelessness. However, the positive social commentary will go over the heads of children, and the graphic violence is extreme. The show is highly entertaining and bingeworthy, but children won’t really understand the messages about the exploitative nature of debt and how it can make people desperate. The incorporation of children’s games will draw in younger viewers, exposing them to scenes of graphic death and mutilation, but I doubt that they will pick up on the show’s deeper message. For adults only.

real good a bit to old for my 15 old kid

I think it's a great tv show, not too much gore or nudity. I think an average High School Freshman could watch this tv show. Though every in that tv show smokes
