Episode five of Squid Game is “A Fair World”. Join Player 456’s hosts Jack and Colin as they deep dive into the fifth episode of Netflix’s most popular show of all time. They offer their insight, thoughts and appreciation, and also cover your questions, queries and theories.

Squid Game episode 4 ended with a big cliff-hanger, episode 5 begins with people falling off that cliff. Sang-woo comes up with a last-minute plan and his team wins the tug of war. Somehow he convinced everyone to take three steps forward to force the other team to the ground.

Jack and Colin discuss the use of silence to create atmosphere and also add to the realisation of what the players have just had to do during the tug of war. Again, the use of colours are key (BLACKPINK) and there are some nods and references to Hollywood films e.g. The Matrix.

An original production from Glasgower

Produced by Jack Shaw and Colin McMilan
