Episode two of Squid Game is “Hell”. Join Player 456’s hosts Jack and Colin as they deep dive into the second 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.

The episode opens directly after the events of “Red Light, Green Light” with Jack and Colin offering their insight into Korean funeral coffin rights, with a nod to the Korean girl band: BLACKPINK. Clause three of the Squid Game contract is indicted by Sang-Woo and a democratic vote is held - with some surprising outcomes.

Squid Game lends itself pretty handily as a metaphor for capitalism and the inequalities and dangers of the model, as well as for class struggles.

We also meet some new characters, including Han Mi-nyeo (212) and the guys discuss further fantastic direction from Hwang Dong-hyuk, the morality of the players and how much their situations impact on their ethical choices when making the decision to play or go home.

An original production from Glasgower

Produced by Jack Shaw and Colin McMilan
